Since the last devlog, I've added 3 of the planned weapons into the Niko minigame, along with the corresponding ammo pickups, and armor. Most importantly, I've implemented the text on hud.
However, despite the progress I've made, I'm been losing the motivation that I needed to keep working on it. So, to prevent myself from getting demotivated, I'm going to start working on the other minigames, along with the menu of the main game, which I feel could use a bit of an update.
The menu being pictured was made directly after the second game had released, and I have neglected it severely to work on the Niko minigame.
So now, I will neglect it slightly less in order to access all of the minigames in one project. (I have been making the Niko minigame in a separate project, which I am now regretting a bit.)
From now on, I will begin working on the other minigames. Since I'm working on the other minigames, I have decided to reveal the minigames for each character.
Minigames
The goal of each minigame is to complete it in order to get the corresponding seal (as in a certificate, not the animal). Get all ten seals to unlock the good ending.
Yuki - Seal of Intelligence
Take a seal-themed test and get 100% to unlock the seal of intelligence. The test requires the player to identify different species of seals and answer questions about seals.
Arare - Seal of Dance
Press different keys at the right time in a Just Dance-esque minigame. Play through several rounds and out-dance ███████ to unlock the seal of dance.
Mizore - Seal of Baking
Bake a variety of goods by pressing keys, and have your goods judged by other seals. Out-bake ███████ to unlock the seal of baking.
Moya - Seal of Agility
Race against other seals and get 1st place on all 5 maps to unlock the 6th map, in which you must race against ███████ to unlock the seal of agility.
Katsunori - Seal of Hunger
Click as fast as you can in a fish-eating competition to win. Beat ███████ to unlock the seal of hunger.
Ponsuke - Seal of Precision
Defend a U.S. military base as Ponsutank by shooting down enemy planes. Defeat ███████ in a boss battle, and you'll be awarded the seal of precision by the 52nd president of the United States, Krimp Z. Bimpton himself.
Yo - Seal of Bounciness
Bounce Yo on a trampoline and dodge obstacles. Don't let Yo hit the ground or you'll lose the minigame. Play the minigame for long enough, and you'll unlock the seal of bounciness.
Niko - Seal of Bravery
Play through a DOOM-esque raycaster in which you must collect keys, defeat enemies, unlock pickups and doors, and progress through levels. Play through 3 levels and defeat ███████ in a boss battle to unlock the seal of bravery.
Agu - Seal of Fishing
Play through a competitive fishing minigame where you must get more points than your opponent by catching fish. Out-fish ███████ to unlock the seal of fishing.
Hiyori - Seal of Balance
Stack striped rings on Hiyori's head and avoid obstacles by ducking. Reach the top of the map to unlock the seal of balance.
I've been thinking about releasing a demo just for the minigames, as they will take up a lot of the gameplay.
I've also been thinking about doing a Q&A before and maybe after the game releases as there is a lot more to this game lore and gameplay-wise compared to the previous games.
Here's a video of me playing through the first level and showcasing all of the (implemented) weapons:
