Blacksmith SFX - Julio

This week I have been animating all the assets and particles of the blacksmith building, which is composed of cloths to defend against desert winds, a giant monster skull and oozing oil and heavy machinery. Although it took me longer than I expected, the result was worth it.

Particles are still a W.I.P.!

The Chevalier’s Swap Animation and Cleaning Code - Luigi

If during last devlog I was implementing swap animations for The Chevalier, this time I’ve been working on its mechanic and the effects they trigger.

Every character will have a unique Swap Skill that will them him apart from the rest of characters. In the case of The Chevalier, it will damage nearby enemies for a bit and it will also stun them for two seconds!

I’ve also been working on improving our system to add new characters to the game and making them playable in-game, replacing some hardcoded code we had since the initial prototype.
This will help us in the future, when we have to link the Town, which will act as a HUB, with the “dungeon” generation system we’ve already have created.

Boss mechanics & dungeons - Alberto

Dungeons are the core of our game. Although we already had an algorithm to create procedural dungeons, we still didn’t have a way to add an entrance and a final room. So I have been working on that, apart from simplifying some code from the algorithm.

I also started working on some mini-boss mechanics that we will probably use in the future. (the “boss” that I’m showing is not a final boss is just a scaled up version of a mushroom)

First steps into the village - Dani

Continuing last week’s work, where I had to create our old Blacksmith and everything she requires! This is the building where we will find her, and the part of the village she will be placed in - new tiles, props, etc - where we can also find vending machines selling refreshing Grog-Cola!

To get a better plan for the design of the Town, I have made many architectural pieces and decoration that go well together with each other to create new buildings and props quickly, here are a few.

Welcome to all the our new followers! We hope you enjoy today’s entry!
