RTX on - Abstráctomon Screenshot Update [March 14, 2021]

I had some fun with real time shadows in Abstráctomon. This isn't raytracing or even real 3D lighting, just some fakery with mirroring and rotating the sprite, depending on the player's position relative to the light source.

For now only the player's shadow will react to a nearby light source. If you move away too far, the shadow will turn into the regular old drop shadow again.

Just a neat little effect. Maybe I'll add it to other NPCs later if it doesn't affect the framerate.

In the team overview, fainted monsters are now highlighted with a red box to make it easier to tell how your team's doing.

A new invention lets you create shinies?!

The first Abstráctomon of your team can now follow you around! I'm currently working on this little feature. In screenshot 2 and 3 you can see a new variant of tall grass for beaches.

You might get a wet surprise while digging with the shovel! These fountains while lift you up if you stand / swim over them. Here it will take you onto an otherwise inaccessible ledge. Neat!

Photographed Abstráctomon now cast shadows!

May I introduce you to the Rich family (from left to right): Gunther Rich (your rival), his dad Prof. Albert Rich and his mom Mary Rich!

You can now let one of your Abstráctomon follow you around (still a little buggy). They can swim, too.

The game now shows a small screenshot with the time, date and the name of the location you saved in when saving or loading a save file.

Here's my progress with the automatic island generation so far. Beaches, grass and ponds work now. It works with pretty much any source image size, but the larger the image, the longer it takes to generate the island. Next I'll try to add some elevation.

Here are some zoomed out screenshots of some areas from the upcoming game Abstráctomon by U-GameZ.
