Thumbnail update


So this week has gone towards more pixel art practice. I have noticed that my background looks a lot better with clustered groups of pixels instead of each pixel standing alone. Second thing it better first choose your color scales and not fix them after you have painted with saturation filters (it still works but a lot better if original image has some nice color scale).
Here is effect of about 6-7h work (not including time for making reused background parts from older version)

Pointless battle I have put spell casting animations inside game engine I still have to work out damage system but this his how it looks now: I will have to also find a way to differentiate characters fraction.

Spell casting 101 I have started to work on battle system so I have created my first spell casting animations for creatures.

Shadow dweller Pigmey

Battle chaos I have added factions banners to identify characters affiliation. I have also taught them to make some basic movements including wall climbing. Next step I will add pathfinding so they could start making more advanced maneuvers.

Validating objects position I have added UI elements for dragging and placing objects on map. While dragging each objects checks if it has valid ground to stand on enough free place and valid background in case of for example windows.

Spell casting 102 So I have added spell particle collision detection and I have also added more spell variety. And in process of that it didn’t lose too much performance. Fire bolt Fire rain: Nova: Energy ray: Dark flame:

Map generation Perlin noise composited with some gradients and rotating generation space creates this:

Burn those veggies! Now lava interacts with some less durable vegetation and destroys it on collision.

Parallax secrets

I had concept for catching units by hand that shaters reality and pulls units into pocket dimmension.
