Devlog sunday 8


Welcome to another devlog friday! This week we have an extra special devlog friday, as it’s Sunday!

This week started by adjusting our mother bird’s behavior slightly to make it a bit harder to kill as before it was super predictable. Now it’s much less linear and is more likely to slay you if you aren’t careful.

The big thing this week was our level select screen. In order to extend our auto walk feature we migrated the entire system over to a timeline based state machine. This has multiple benefits. The first being less variables as timers for the most part are set once in a state and that’s it. The second thing is more structure and organization! Timelines make all the states way neater and easier to keep track of. Lastly, we got our auto walking feature working much nicer as it can now walk across multiple points to reach a newly unlocked level.

Finally, we got our vine wall back into the game and chasing the player across a level!

Our deadline for world one moves ever closer. We are aiming to have world one finished by the first of December which gives us just over a week left. Right now, the things we have left to complete are the cut scenes for the story, and the boss for world one. This involves programming and art, so there is quite a bit of work there. We are still confident in getting it done though.

A look at a new enemy: The Core Guards Today we would like to show off one of the new enemies that you will encounter in world 3. These large, brutish soldiers are well armoured and will surely put up a fight! … Even if they have apples for heads.

The Cardinal Crusade Demo release!

The Last Five Months in The Cardinal Crusade

A transformation Hello, in this devlog we’re showcasing an animation where the player character transforms into a smaller, flesh monster. Why is this in the game? What purpose does it serve? Perhaps more will be revealed soon…

Greetings!

We have been working hard on Eldritchvania, and we got some exciting news to share! We are almost content complete! That means that all main features of the game are finished, and we'll be moving on to the polish stage soon!

Looking to polish up some of our older enemies. I remade the walking animation for this enemy. The old one (top) wasn't really conveying the motion very well. The new one is a bit more frantic but I think it creates a far more interesting impression.

Would you be able to make it down unscathed?

Many more dangers await when Eldritchvania Releases on the 10th of February!

Eldritchvania is at long last released! Please check it out and play it for yourself now! :D https://gamejolt.com/games/Eldritchvania/415163

The end is drawing near!

Eldritchvania is drawing ever nearer its completion. We are still working on polishing everything, adding sounds and vfx. We wont be announcing any release dates...yet. But know that exciting... and horrible things await you...
