Development Log for Virvius (06/13/21)


Log - 6/13/21

Notes: I had created V-damage for the game "Quint Damage or x5 bullet damage" Tested and added some UI elements when power is activated. I had to re-model the Spiker Cannon due to broken vertices in the mesh & I just plain didn't like the look. I wanted secrets in the game so I designed a "Quake like shoot the door" where the piece of wall moves in slightly then slides to the side which I hid the V-damage power up. I developed an ambush system as well as I wanted to pick up weapon models, so in the unfinished area of the level I built walls that open and enemies pop out when player grabs the spiker cannon.

Virvius Update (06/26/21)

I just built a new Weapon for Virvius. I called it the Photon Cannon. The weapon animates by opening up and the spinning rotor fires off plasma then closes after with the rotor spinning down. #shooter #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indie #indieDev #retro
