A warning about the Save System


Update 1.2 will make some changes to the way the game “saves” data. Because of this, any saves made on any version before 1.2 will no longer be recognized by the game once the update arrives.

For starters, Lunacy uses “PlayerPrefs” (data in the registry, safely tucked away) to save data. This is done when the game’s booted for the first time, with a system that checks if all the necessary values are present. These values are easily accessible, and also are modified by the game during gameplay (no it doesn’t lag the game, not for me, and no, it won’t break your OS)

Some of you may not like that the game uses that, but I’m too noob to be able to make an actual “save file” like most games. Not that it matters to me, since the game is offline only, so I don’t need to concern myself with encrypting the saves. Play how you want, right?

Despite this, I may try to make a proper save system, in which case PlayerPrefs will no longer be used, but no guarantees. If not, PlayerPrefs will remain as the true way for Lunacy to write/read saves.

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Family band complete!

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Why walk when you can jump?

Rockin the Guitar, an Axe like Guitar I made for my Uni project

I did this on my 3DS ^^ #Kirby

Only true badasses may pass! #conceptart #art #gamedesign
