Game
Hensen Hopper
1 year ago

I have a concept in my mind: A blue beetle holding a dried leaf out as a shield flying back and forth across the level blocking Hensen's bullets from reaching the yellow jackets. Drawing some concept art for this as I type!

This is just about the only situation in which I'll ever do this. I almost never put multiple calls to methods on the same line but here I've logged a warning to remind furure me to do something I didn't have time to do today in a glaringly obvious way.

Been working on the artwork for the "stage complete" screen all morning! Right now I'm improving the shadows/shading for Hensen because he is a part of that screen. I do need to work out the contrast between the text and the backdrop image, I know.

Very unfinished but the backdrop image, as it is in this video, is already leagues better than what I had last weekend! I'm going to work on it incrementally over the coming weeks as I work on implementing the stages idea I talked about before!

Don't miss out on your chance to complete our #AetherAndIron quests and get trophies!

Complete the quests in your quest log.

This is a short video showing off the new procedurally generated enemy waves in Hensen! In theory, the game will become more and more unpredictable as I continue to build and implement new enemies!!!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Alright, I've been thinking... I wanna do a fly-off-screen when you complete a stage in Hensen Hopper (classic shmup stuff) and I COULD just hardcode it into the character controller script but I came up with a more nuanced solution.

I've been working on the backdrop today! Among other things I've done, I made a bush! I know, SOOOO impressive lol.

I've worked out a process for drawing bushes that I'm using for the backdrop! First I draw the branches, then "paint" where the bush texture will be, copy it's alpha to a new layer in white, then draw it's shadows in a layer over the bush layer.
