Game
Wave One

Coming Along Nicely!


The past couple days were pretty busy for me, so I didn’t get all that much dev time in, but today I spent a solid 5 hours working on Wave One (and I’ll probably put a few more hours in tonight!) but I’m happy to report the following additions to the game:

  • I actually added gameplay. What was before just a home menu is now something you can actually play. (aka spaceships to blow up)

  • Lots of screen shake for an impactful experience.

  • A particle system for dynamic explosions

  • Laser cannon will overheat if you use it to much, causing you to have to wait extra time before you can use it again

  • Player health with Game Over on death

  • 2 of the many powerups planned

So there is a lot more for me to do, but already the game is kind of a blast to play. It shouldn’t be very long (1 week?) before the game is ready for some play testers. But I’ll make a whole new post for that.

So what do you think? Are you excited? Have ideas to make the game better? Interested in being a play tester? Let me know in the comments. :D

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

Runestones: from concept to in-game model🗿

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

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)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
