Balls n' Stars 2

BALLS 'N STARS 2 HAS RETURNED FROM HIATUS!

I'm sorry for the sudden inactivity in this devlog, my laptop broke, and I had to wait for about a month to get a new PC to continue working on this project

Anyway, third island, desert-themed, sand blocks

The UI is now done... sort of...

Took me a fair while to actually make the stage selection works properly, but it's all done now.

Now, I just have to replace those old previews from the demo to match with the new UI.

Looks like the last devlog barely get any traction, so let's see if perspective animation changes that.

Speaking of perspective, I changed the camera to a perspective one to make those animations work.

Some more updates on the world map...

Not only I've finally made the transition between the last stage of an island to the world map island works properly, but I've added a few more details into the map UI itself. Yeah, that medal showcase is new.

What island is behind the clouds once you finished the previous? Something exciting to see for sure

I also added a few more details on the world map, like the waves

Screenshot Saturday time!

So, for future players' sanity going forward, I've changed how the respawn works in the game

Instead of starting from scratch, you will now respawn to the last position you land after a successful shot

Today's topic... cones!

They should prevent you from falling off, but don't expect these to appear often though.

Sorry for nearly 2 weeks of no progress

Again, I'm still working on the second island and still brainstorming new ideas

Anyway, have some floating scaffolds 🚁

The last post got no fanfare, I see... now this should be worth seeing... Curved terrain!

I've worked on the curves since the first island, but not thinking that it'll work as I expected, so along with improved boosters (again), this should do the job

Pardon me for nearly 2 weeks of not showing stuff, but I have nothing worth showing while I still work on World 2

I guess just making the booster cyan everywhere isn't going to work well so... time to make it white and use Unity's sprite colorizer instead
