Hensen Hopper

The spider is more or less complete functionally AND artistically! I might try to update the enemy spawning algorithm before I release any new alpha builds with the spider, though. I'm on my whiteboard trying to think through that problem.

Morning! 😊

I did do that scrolling backdrop yesterday! Art is a prototype, gonna brainstorm it properly at work this coming week, but it's working on the technical side! https://youtube.com/shorts/1gGaPrcn1P8?si=ObKREfzsGuFrhMjG

I've decided saturdays will be my days of rest. Not gonna work on Hensen today.

I think I'ma draw a seamless (eventually will be endless scrolling) backdrop for Hensen Hopper. I've been wanting to do that for a long time now and I have an idea how I'm going to go about coding that as well that I've thought out at work last week!

I've set up all I need to to program the web bullet that will be fired by the spider!!! Next step: animation which I'll save for tomorrow since I work nights and wake up when it's dark out so I can listen to ghost stories in the dark while doing that.

If this spider's freaking hands don't stop being the most irritating thing to work with of all time I'm gonna go back in time and conquer Rome.

The gang's all here!

Got irritated by the spiders hands about 3 hours in and decided I'd finish up making a devlog where I reflect on my process creating the spider and try to learn something from that to apply moving forward with Hensen Hopper!
