Devlog Friday Number Two!


Last week I left off with the level selection world transition being nearly complete.
Here is a video:

I thought I was done with all the fancy transitions but then, out of the bushes, a wild Anton appeared! In the previous version of the level select, after finding all collectibles on a level, the display box would turn gold to show that the level is fully complete. A “nothing left to see here” type thing. We opted out of this in the new version of the level select, or so we thought. After some deliberation we decided to revert our decision.

To do this, the gold box needed to be re-introduced. I will admit that at first I wasn’t happy. Seeing the result won me back over though. Making this happen wasn’t an easy task by any means as it conflicted with most of the existing transition code. This week went towards making the box transition from it’s normal graphic to the fancy golden one. Which involved a lot of code re-factoring and headaches.

Today I finally got it done though! Now Anton hasn’t actually seen it yet so things might change:

We intend to make the button that the player character is standing on golden however that obviously isn’t done yet.

That is about it for this week, not very eventful as the transition took so long to make. I’m now moving onto fixing up our tutorial stage boss, and then it will likely be a bit more level select, maybe some bug fixes, and maybe even some new enemy programming!

Thanks for reading, follow the game page to be notified when we post another devlog!

Eldritchvania polish is continuing! This week I made some improvements to the options menu. Old ( top) vs New ( bottom). The new menu is more in line with our other UI, and also has some extra options which have been in our backlog for a while!

Devlog: Behind the scene look at: The Brain Blaster enemy

Development Streams!

Looking to polish up some of our older enemies. I remade the walking animation for this enemy. The old one (top) wasn't really conveying the motion very well. The new one is a bit more frantic but I think it creates a far more interesting impression.

The end is drawing near!

Eldritchvania is drawing ever nearer its completion. We are still working on polishing everything, adding sounds and vfx. We wont be announcing any release dates...yet. But know that exciting... and horrible things await you...

Greetings followers!

Eldritchvania is nearing its completion at last.

While we can't give an exact release date, we are closer than ever, and hoping for a release early 2024.

Thank you so much for you continued support.

And stay tuned for more...

The Last Five Months in The Cardinal Crusade

Would you be able to make it down unscathed?

Many more dangers await when Eldritchvania Releases on the 10th of February!

Greetings!

We have been working hard on Eldritchvania, and we got some exciting news to share! We are almost content complete! That means that all main features of the game are finished, and we'll be moving on to the polish stage soon!

A look at a new enemy: The Core Guards Today we would like to show off one of the new enemies that you will encounter in world 3. These large, brutish soldiers are well armoured and will surely put up a fight! … Even if they have apples for heads.
