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 :)

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?
