I've published a small update to the game! Sadly, the beetle enemy isn't yet implemented, but I'm working on that and I HAVE implemented the new enemy spawning mechanics! The full changelog can be found in each zip archive but it's also pasted below.


Changes in v0.1.2:

- replaced PrefabSpawner script with a simpler Spawner script that simply spawns the prefab passed in the method call.

- Reworked how enemy spawning is handled. The previous system utilized a SpawnPattern structure which contained an enemy prefab and the columns in which to spawn it. The updated system still uses this but instead of a single prefab and a list of columns, it now uses a list of "SpawnInstance" struct instances each of which contain an enemy prefab and a column in which to spawn it. This allows me to fully control which enemies spawn in which columns on a per-pattern basis, including the ability to have multiple spawn in the same column (which will be useful later for the beetle enemy).

- Spawn patterns have been changed some, certain patterns from before no longer exist and have been replaced with new patterns (this is a result of loosing all spawn patterns I had previously put together when I reworked the enemy spawning behavior)

Been working on the artwork for the spider enemy!!! This is a preview of what it'll look like in-game. I am gonna remove all of these drop shadows as I usually apply those to the spritesheets themselves once I've drawn the animations.

AAAAAAA! The spider is coming along!!! I'm actually quite proud of the way this turned out! I'm planning to take a break for a bit but I am ALSO gonna add some more idle movements to the spider and then apply some drop shadows and it'll look a ton better.

He has hands now!

Who do you like more?

- OLD or New

Okay so I've effectively phased out the profile selection menu, or, well, TECHNICALLY not. The profiles system is still there, it's just invisible now. There is only one profile that's either created or loaded on game start. No more profile choosing.

Last post for today! Been getting some work done on the art for the spider, so far I've drawn a colored concept art (I know I completely messed up the web) and got started on the actual sprite, well, at least the layer that will be the spider's web.

The gang's all here!

Officially gotten started with the spider!!!!!!!!

HIS HANDS ARE ANIMATED NOW!

THE SPIDER IS COMING
