Beach Elements - Devlog 3-1-2021


Hey everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? I lost access to this project for a couple days so I wasn't able to post anything, but everything is back to normal now. I've gotten most of my second level done and wanted to share some of it with you.


Something I thought was neat graphically was this transition from the beach portion of my level to under the sea:

It still looks pretty basic, but I think it shows how I've improved graphically, especially from the construction level. Simple background really add a lot to the look of the game.


I also wanted to - as always - show off some of the unique challenges this level has to offer. I've got two of them today. You can see the bubbles you find in the sea in the earlier GIF; they elevate and then pop. The second has two variations - the first comes out of the sea:

and the second comes out of pipes:

These water fountains are used in unique ways throughout the level. They need a bit of work in the animation department (as always), but they play well.


So, all this level needs is polish now; mechanically it's all finished. I'll probably move on to the third level and then come back to polish this and the first with everything I've learned. The game is making good progress, and I look forward to sharing future progress with you guys. If this looks interesting to you, please make sure to follow!

Menus and Hub - Devlog 5-7-2021

New Devlog Coming Tuesday

Thanks for Marble Mania's success. I'm working on a new long-term project now - a Grand Strategy RTS. I'm really just prototyping game mechanics right now, here's what I've done with the overworld so far.

Been working on a Tetris clone recently, mostly for my own learning. I hope to make it very customizable - custom block skins/rotation modes/drop speed/etc.

Won't be able to work on this for a few days due to vacation - Here's a sneak peak of the new level to tide you over

Thanks for 50+ downloads! I'm very happy with how Marble Mania has performed and I hope you've all been enjoying it.

Marble Mania will finally release today! I wanted to show off the hub, it keeps track of your progress with a statue that builds as you complete levels.

Reliable Reactors Co. is launched! Made this game in 48 hours for Ludum Dare. Was a real challenge, but I managed to barely scrape by the deadline. You play as a power plant worker trying to regulate an unstable reactor.
