DEVLOG 4: Various Updates To Shards & Skills


Older versions of the game had a basic, single target, version of elemental spells and then a separate spell you had to learn to hit all enemies. That was cool in the 80s, but we strive to at least be in the late 90s when it comes to game quality. So those skills have been merged and all you have to do is hit left or right when targeting an enemy and it'll toggle between single target and multi hit.

In addition, we've made it so equipping certain elemental shards give you resistance to that element as shown below. Since you often get shards in areas where enemies of that same element abound, this should make new shards immediately useful to the area you're at. It also allows for a little more in the way of creating custom builds depending on what kinds of enemies you're going to be facing.

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

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)

Very ambitious construction going on in Planet Zoo on Plays today. We're tryin'. LIVE: www.twitch.tv/dreamhackplays

Path of Kami, running around the shrine area

Out of boredom and curiosity, I coded Sailor Jupiter's Argentine Backbreaker.

A sneak peek at the new OST, can you guess what this song will be used for? 🤔

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
