Some words about game balancing and performance


In this final stage before release I tried to balance Vanilla Moon as best as I can. Now there are 50 ice creams (1 point each) 5 ice cream boxes (6 points each) and 4 fuel tanks (re-fill 50%) per game session.

Movement speed, maximal fuel amount and it’s consumption speed and also spherical world size remain unchanged.

When you pick an item, another item of the same type is spawned on random different position on the world so you can collect points as long as you don’t run out of fuel.

All items are instantiated when game starts and then only visibility and position is changed, but all the time it’s the same set of 59 objects. That’s good for performance, much better than instantiate the same prefabs again and again.

I also discovered an ugly bug, some items were sometimes pushed out of the world, fortunately I fixed it and also get rid of second colliders attached to the items, that was hacky and not nice (and caused that bug) and after I made some changes in code they don’t even needed a rigidbody anymore.

The only physics in now between player and world ground (faux gravity), rest is just some basic magic with vectors and quaternions (-:

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?
