Pirates of the Memory Crystal
3 years ago

In this devlog, I'll go over the last features for the prototype of "Pirates of the Memory Crystal", my Simon-says-jankenpon-rpg hybrid.


Hey gang!

Here's everything I've been working on since last post about "Pirates of the Memory Crystal", my Simon-says-jankenpon-rpg hybrid game!

Upgraded UI

I've finished making the final version of the UI. The pause menu is done (except for character art, obviously) and it's a nice throwback to FF7 ;)

As I needed to change quite a few things because of bug fixes, I've reimplemented the camera movement with Cinemachine and it's so much smoother! Love it!

Animated text

Man, just animating text makes everything more polished, no? So simple, and so satisfying :) With sound it's even better.

Save

The biggest part of the work I did these last two weeks was on the story data structure and how the systems loads your saved state. I've come up with something I'm quite proud of, and that's relatively easy to use (I might write about it if anyone's interested).

For the visual part, I've done a quick model for the save point, that might become the definitive one :

You need to run on these things to save and restore your life between fights (the square will have a sprite on it, but I'm not sure of what... a floppy disk or something - what do you think?)

Enemy "AI"

Some enemies will patrol around the map. They go on rounds, and when they see you, will run towards you to launch a fight.

For this part, I reused the code for the enemies in my previous game https://gamejolt.com/games/tremors-escape-from-el-blanco/729226 with a simple vision cone to make it less stupid.

That's it! Thanks for reading

Up next, I need to work on the

secret minigame

and then all code will be finished!

After that, onto the meat of the game : graphics & story!

Still working on the game! New devlog at the end of the week normally 🤞

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Stay on the rocks!! Music, sounds, some levels and I'm done :D

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

Work has started on 3D backgrounds! Come take a look!

Now with art! Up next : environment art!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

In this devlog, I'll tell you all about 3d characters in PMC!
