Next up
I added the leaf shield to the beetle since the last time I posted to Game Jolt! I've also added a detail where it deteriorates over time as you strike it with bullets which I think is a nice touch! Yes, it's a separate sprite from the beetle himself lol.
I've been working on some proper visual art for the beetle shell when it's equipped! I've also gone ahead and drawn a break animation for it. All I need to do now is actually set all of this up in Unity which I'll probably do on Tuesday.
I've more or less finished off the beetle enemy's animations now. Here's a short video showing the defeat animation as well as how it currently looks in-game. I still need to work on an effect for when the shield breaks, though.
After 7 long years, the wait is finally over. Chapters 1-4 of DELTARUNE are out now!
Celebrate the parallel story to Undertale by completing these quests.
Okay, so I've gotten the functionality for the beetle shell render over the player working! (using the first 3 frames from the beetle shell collect animation as placeholder sprites, these ARE NOT the final sprites)

David Gaider is a dev who worked on Dragon Age, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and more! (He's also openly gay.)
As part of his work on KOTOR, he created the Sith Code!
I DID end up making the body and elytra both 1 cycle/s and the wings 6 cycles/s. I'm working on a video of the animation itself playing in the Unity editor so you guys can see it properly. I think it turned out well!
The beetle shell is now fully VISUALLY implemented! Next thing on my list is a unique sound for Hensen equipping it.
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
Here's a short demonstration of the beetle shell power-up in-action! It's not very obvious what it does at the moment because I still need to work on a lot of the effects for it, but the functionality is there if you pay attention to the health bar!
