FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Since I'm making a new power that will also use the Explosion code, I'm improving the explosion animation!

Click [Read article] for more details!


Here are the explosion improvements:

  • First, I added a dashed circle around the base of the Grenade, so that its blast area is more pronounced. The blast area is actually larger than this circle, but... it serves the purpose of drawing additional attention to the grenade (which was a little hard to spot, in my opinion);

  • I also made the car dust a little lighter, so that the grenade and the explosion are more visible. This makes the car less... *powerful*, but I think was necessary.

  • I also improved how the zombies were sent flying by the explosion. The Z movement (their movement in the air) is now better, and now there's a shadow, to give more depth to the zombie movement. I like this result a lot!

Making this shadow was quite cool. I basically double the zombie sprite, used an opacity of 50%, and Construct's "Color Tint" effect. Then, in the code, I make this sprite share the animation and the animation frame of the zombie itself, but instead of sharing its Z Elevation, I set the shadow's Z to 0 every tick:

And that's it for now!

Hopefully, I'll be able to share the new power which also uses this improved explosion, "Homing Missile", later today!

Bye, folks!

WORKING A BIT ON THE MISSIONS UI!

Last time I posted a kinda bare bones version of this screen, now we got some of its art!

Still not totally satisfied with all elements, but I guess it's already a nice improvement :)

Everybody talking about the Super Mario movie and here I am thinking how cool it would be if they made a movie out of THIS game...

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

Doki Doki Literature Club is celebrating Monika's birthday and the 8th anniversary of DDLC with exclusive stickers, avatar frames and backgrounds on Game Jolt!

Sharing the pixel art I did for a personal project I never got to make. The player would control an enchanted chest that had to investigate the disappearance of its wizard master!

What do you think? Would this had looked cool?
