Hiatus


So, after a week of thinking, I’ve decided to put the development of Illumination on hiatus.

I’ve decided to do so for a couple reasons.

The main reason is that I’m constanly having difficulties with coding, and giving myself a break from something I’ve almost no clue about when it comes to programming, learning some, practicing more, and then coming back to it, will help me in the long run.

The second reason is because I’ve been playing a lot of BROFORCE lately as well as watching speed runs and it’s been making me want to try my hand at creating a platformer.

I’m not sure what to call this new project yet, but it will definitely be easier to do than a full-on 2D Turn-based RPG right off the get-go. Plus, starting simpler and building up in skill is essential to making good games all the way up to great games.

So here’s the run down:

Illumination — hiatus

Breath of metroid/mega-vannia (mash-up of the ideas) — currently under way until I am profient enough and have more skill.

Sorry.

First Screenshot! Granted, it’s not much, but… I now have a rudimentary main menu(shown below)!! HYPE:

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

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🔖🔖🔖

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?

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

I-Buki

Mio-Da!

Ibuki Mioda!

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)

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698
