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

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

Throughout your journey in Lutaland, you may encounter these small camps where nomadic Lutas who roam the planet will come to rest! If these camps are being used, you may be able to buy items from the nomads or be sent on quests!

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

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.

(solved) I'm working on pools of water for Lutaland, but I've run into a problem. Check the article if you think you can help.

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?

Happy Joltidays! A new quest has entered your quest log. Accept the quest and follow @therealkomasan to open today's slot on the calendar.

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!
