Lucid - Devlog No. 9

[Devlog in Article]


So, first devlog of the new year! And the first thing in this devlog is...

Customized Menus!

Well... Kinda. I changed the border to be gray, icon for continuing text to a small VISIONARY'S EYE and the background color is now a blue to gray gradient!

(Oh yeah, I also added a little animated cursor that appears when hovering options!)

Know what's funny? The blue and gray colors you see throughout all of the stuff are the exact same colors.

Gray Hex Code: 847e87

Blue Hex Code: 31556d

(Am I taking this VISIONARY'S EYE thing too far? I think it helps make the game more themed and recognizable but I'd like to get your thoughts. then again it is important to the story soooo...)

Riverwood!

Riverwood is the first town in Lucid and while not having much, the things that ARE there have a lot of detail put in.

Here's some screenshots of Riverwood!

lets see...

  • all three are rpg maker games

  • All three are INDIE games

  • all three have the name of the game

  • all three have a symbol or person (The ANGEL, THE VISIONARYS EYE, OMORI...)

  • all three are peak fiction...

  • the names of all three are one word

  • all three of the soundtracks are peak...

I HAVE A THEORY, A GAME THEORY!

THE TRINITY IS REAL.

(whoops got off track there heh.)

Oh yeah, enemies now have health bars! and the damage font is now customized!

As you probably noticed, there's been more technical and visual changes within these past couple days.

Playtesting...

Is going on right now!

Steam Page...

...is coming soon!

But in all seriousness, maybe by the end of THIS MONTH. But I'm not sure plus I'm scared of...

...the rejection from almighty savoir of PC gaming Gabe Newell.

and who knew I'd need to read a collage thesis to put a game on Steam?

Oh yeah, one last thing!

All Fungal Forest Maps are DONE.

I just need to create the dungeon.

See Ya Soon!

Lucid - Demo Trailer!

I've unlisted the game pages for "The Floating Islands", "The Floating Islands: Christmas Chaos", "The Rift CH1-4" and added them to this archive.

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.

Final reminder that we are in the RPG Maker Direct!

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."
