"Fireworks"


Cute little effect when you finish a level!

Progress

This past week I’ve been working on mostly non-flashy polish stuff, the kind of things you only realise you need when the game is almost finished :p Like:

Music track switching system
During gameplay I want background music to be playing. I figured that having the same track playing over and over again might make you go insane so I had to implement a basic system that would cycle through a set of tracks while you were playing. As a little touch I made it remember which track was playing when you exit a level to the menu. When you start up another level, the remembered track starts playing instead of the first track in the set.


Free-cam mode
Eventually I need to make a trailer and I assume that it’s going to involve some panning shots of the levels. So far, the camera was just programmed to follow the little ball, so I had to make another “free-cam” mode.

The first thing that came to mind was to just control it with the arrow keys. But considering the use case was to film panning shots for trailers, this seemed like a bad control method. Instead I made a little menu where you can set the starting and ending camera positions of a shot, pick the speed and press “play”. The camera then smoothly pans from start to end in the desired time. Hopefully this means filming the trailer will be much easier!


Aaand a bunch of other stuff too:

  • Fixing a bunch of little bugs (and big ones!)

  • What happens when you complete the game??

  • SFX

  • Fireworks!

Stay tuned for more updates :)

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Finished work on the emotions of a new character for the tank universe

An infected room from the second part of Cybel ! Are you up for some cleansing?

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!

What Are You Doing In My Swamp!?

Now spruce forest monsters can vomit forest shields, but Brutal Castle will not stop!
