Pre weekend devlog


Evening everyone!

I figured I’d end this week’s game work with a devlog before I go for some well needed weekend rest (although I have a programming exam tomorrow ;)).
It’s been a busy week to say the least. I have improved on the turret textures to add a bit of a worn look to them (not too much though!).
Levels 9 and 11 are now finished, and 1, 2 and 8 have been tweaked. Levels 4-6 now have proper spawn points for enemies along with enemy tracks. That leaves only 3 campaign levels to be made, meaning I’m on target with my plan.
I’ve ironed out some bugs relating to the menu when building turrets (one potentially huge one at that, ouch!).
Lastly, I’ve improved the end of level sequence, now the turrets will default to a 0 degree rotation and slowly power down before the screen fades to blue and the player is prompted with the “success” message. I think this works as a nice visual que that the level is over. You can see the idea in the still image below.

That just about covers what has been done this week, the next devlog should be posted around the end of next week, as I have lectures starting next week, progress will most likely be slow, but hopefully there is some interesting news. :)

Did you know that today is #InternationalJazzDay? 🎷😎

No? 😯 Well, we couldn't pass up this date!

And what better to celebrate this day than #Pecaminosa #OST? 🎷

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Chiaki Nanami!

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Finished work on the emotions of a new character for the tank universe

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...
