Hive Quest game dev log


Hi everyone

Hive Quest involves competing with other hives deep within the woods. There are several ways this works

The night time pic is a shot of a gene beacon. Players can create them from pebbles & other stuff lying around with the aid of a Beacon Spell (the pink sphere). Every time an enemy drone passes near your beacon you increase your influence over that drone's hive

The other pic is a 'zealot' - you can use him as a spy to infiltrate an enemy hive and change its allegiance.

The competition between hives is something I wanted to start working on for a while. I set up the basic framework for this around a year ago and, now the demo is out, I will be pushing these game mechanics forward.

More game dev news coming shortly - thanks for looking!

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

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

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
