Lutaland - Monthly Devlog 1


Welcome to the first monthly Lutaland devlog! From now on, I will be posting these progress reports on the last day of each month as an overall summary of the game's progress. Without further ado, here's the devlog!

Programming

I have made several large breakthroughs in Lutaland's programming this month. Some of the more important ones are:

A working text engine with character face plates,

(similarly) a cutscene system for the new boss, whose name is yet to be revealed,

and much more! I hope you enjoy these small sneak peeks.

Music

As you have probably seen, Lutaland's soundtrack is relatively short so far. However, I'm always working on preparing new tracks.

I also have a Soundcloud page! Check it out here:

Writing

My friends and I are working hard on Lutaland's script! It's not much but here's a screenshot of some of our writing:

...and that's it! I hope you enjoyed reading the devlog, and I can't wait for what's to come!

I fixed the water problem, and also ended up going down the rabbit hole of adding oceans, which were incredibly difficult to make. I figured it out though, and I think it looks pretty good! What do you think?

I recently created this song for the Lutaland OST to be used later in the game. Give me your thoughts on it in the comments!

I finished all the icons for the inventory! Now all that's left is to... actually... program it...

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.

I'm continuing to work on the inventory system for Lutaland, and have added a few new things, like icons for different parts of the inventory, labels for those parts, and a cursor!

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."

Using some recent additions to Lutaland, I have added this huge castle to the game! What do you think?

Practicing my music skills...

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.

I made this Lutaland art, what do you think? This will likely be used in the game as some sort of loading screen.
