An Actual Update!!!!!


Hey. I know it’s been a little while. But I’ve actually been doing stuff. Here’s a little bit o’ progress. And I mean a little bit. I’ve kinda got character movement down, though there are some weird glitchy things with the right stick movement (the player rotation). Unity (especially within PlayMaker) seemed only interested in X and Y variables, but nothing in this game moves on the Z axis (up and down). So I had to, like, remap the recorded Y axis to actually be recorded as the Z axis. That has led, I believe, to my issue.

There is also camera movement in the video. Previously, I had the camera moving to the four cardinal directions, using either the Q and E keys or the right and left controller bumpers, but that felt like too much control. Like it would just get in the way and you’d never actually need that much control in this top-down format. So the camera is still player controlled. It just takes less time to actually get to where it could be useful.

So that’s pretty much all my progress so far! I’d love to hear your thoughts on how it’s looking so far. I know there is so much more to do, but I thought I’d share some progresssssss.

Just as Pecaminosa's musicians #improvise this rendition of #LittleSunflower 🌻, so do we improvise with this post you're reading. 😂

What's coming out of your own improvs? 🤔

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

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)

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
