Devlog sunday 8


Welcome to another devlog friday! This week we have an extra special devlog friday, as it’s Sunday!

This week started by adjusting our mother bird’s behavior slightly to make it a bit harder to kill as before it was super predictable. Now it’s much less linear and is more likely to slay you if you aren’t careful.

The big thing this week was our level select screen. In order to extend our auto walk feature we migrated the entire system over to a timeline based state machine. This has multiple benefits. The first being less variables as timers for the most part are set once in a state and that’s it. The second thing is more structure and organization! Timelines make all the states way neater and easier to keep track of. Lastly, we got our auto walking feature working much nicer as it can now walk across multiple points to reach a newly unlocked level.

Finally, we got our vine wall back into the game and chasing the player across a level!

Our deadline for world one moves ever closer. We are aiming to have world one finished by the first of December which gives us just over a week left. Right now, the things we have left to complete are the cut scenes for the story, and the boss for world one. This involves programming and art, so there is quite a bit of work there. We are still confident in getting it done though.

The Cardinal Crusade Demo release!

A transformation Hello, in this devlog we’re showcasing an animation where the player character transforms into a smaller, flesh monster. Why is this in the game? What purpose does it serve? Perhaps more will be revealed soon…

Eldritchvania is at long last released! Please check it out and play it for yourself now! :D https://gamejolt.com/games/Eldritchvania/415163

Eldritchvania is full of devious puzzles. Some might be harder than they look. Will you be able to conquer them all? ( Its hard to show off puzzles without giving hints, but hopefully you wont be able to gleam too much from this!)

The Trailer for Eldritchvania is finally here!

Please share and like if you are hype for the upcoming release! ( Date still pending)

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.

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!

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...

Development Streams!
