Making a game for #spectocular is a challenge !

To face this difficulty, menus will have a very simple design:

  • menus are constructed as “wheels” : you go to left and right, circling back if you keep going in a direction. You go left or right by blinking one eye.

  • you can then confirm your choice, by blinking both eyes.

  • if necessary, you access “sub-wheels”

  • every sub-menu has a back option to return to main wheel

  • have extra confirmations yes/no to minimize mistakes

The game will be a side-scroller where you control the main character, planting seeds to overcome obstacles.

  • If you blink once, you move one cell

  • If you blink twice rapidly, the character keeps moving in the set direction (it is boring to blink too many times)

  • Blink both eyes once to make the character stop moving

  • Blink both eyes when not moving will open main menu, with abilities to use and options

After that, it is all small optimisations :
-villagers always say the same thing, no need to talk to them, just pass them by and they will talk
-character can’t jump, it will have an ability to activate instead to go up in some situations
-no hardcore area you have to retry 20 times

Now back to work !

Don’t hesitate to share your thoughts :)

And what better to celebrate this day than #Pecaminosa #OST? 🎷

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

We are under attack!

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Path of Kami: The Evolution of the Lore

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
