So, it's been a bit! I was going to release a new version of the demo with some added content, but I wasn't quite pleased with performance regarding a mini-game that was going to be a part of it. So, instead I decided I'm going to refactor (not rewrite), a lot of the code. And re-do how collectibles work. As of right now, collectibles are kind of performance heavy as they rely on the CharacterBody3D that Godot offers. This means they're all running using physics every frame, so a lot of them can be quite performance heavy. I've scrapped how they work, and already have a much better solution that won't lag the game out (specifically in the mini-game). I'm also working on implementing a state machine for Crash, a better global tracker for collectibles, and a few other behind the scenes enhancements (mainly for myself, but also for performance sake). Anyway, that's about it!
Next up
Just a little test recreation of The Woods of Light I've been working on. Not a 1:1 recreation, just made it to make it.
WIP: New Sky Based on the original screenshots/concept art. I'll touch it up later, but here's a preview
Did some work on a new area, nothing here *yet*
Development has Re-started! Read below..
I'm probably going to release a demo of this level, once it's complete. Just need to finish a few systems up, get some animations in, and finish the last part of the level. Will also make a little teaser or something before releasing the demo
Christmas update is actually close to done, I'm deciding to just drop it when I feel its fine. Remember it is extremely WIP still, and this is the last sandbox release I do till a proper future demo. This is not going to have a lot to it
Somewhat finished recreation of Woods of Light (won't be a level in the game, just wanted to have a place to test mechanics in)
Would you guys be fine with another sandbox demo where you just explore around and there's no end goal or anything? Just the ability to get a feel for the game, as I want to release a playable demo, but I don't want to reveal anything story-wise yet
Another preview of the game. Woods of light during the night time
I've been hard at work making some of the basic features in Rayman. Here's the purple lums in action, well, in a screenshot. Thinking about posting a little playthrough of the Woods of Light level I've been making
