Fractured Balance

2 months ago

I have been working ALOT and here is what I have done have:


the_whats.png

  1. Worked a shit ton to improve things behind the scenes, in the past few weeks a lot of refactoring took place where I sat down and re-wrote jam code to improve expandability of the game

  2. Finished the Parallax System and Backgrounds of each level

  3. Added A Enemy spawn indicator to Let the player know where a enemy is being spawned

  4. Fixed Lighting

  5. Reworked Sounds Effects making things sound much creepier

  6. Improved movement to feel good instead of sluggish by rework jump and adjusting player speed

  7. Added all the Languages used by all the top Player demographics of the game which include translations for :

    1. Spanish (Argentina)

    2. French

    3. Italian

    4. Japanese

    5. Norsk

    6. Portuguese

    7. Russian

    8. Simplified Chinese

    9. Traditional Chinese

    10. Swedish

    11. Ukrainian

    12. German (We already had German translations in the jam version just no way to change languages, but I did improve the German Translations)

And at last I have a announcement, that a release ready version of the Demo is uploaded to Steam, ready to be published as soon as the time is right.

BUT the version uploaded is only the jam Version improved.

Which is why the game is NOT yet live on steam, as I am working to add more explorative levels and interconnect the world like the one seen in Hollow Knight.

I worked some more on the visual identity of Fractured Balance and here is the final result. I decided to go for a multi-layer parallax back and foreground Hollow Knight Style. Wishlist on Steam if you want to play this version: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3376920

A while ago, The idea of a tower or automated defence was suggested for Fractured Balance and now. This ghost fella exists. (now he isn't completely finished so he might not initially be in the Demo release, but he will be in the Demo and Full game)

I have been running experiments on how Fractured Balance can improve it's feel and look by adding a background and foreground, and this here is the first draft of the experiment

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

Implemented 2 fun mechanics:

1. Implemented: Dashing into a enemy instantly kills them

2. Implemented: Falling on a enemy kills them and resets your jump allowing you to jump on another enemy killing them
