Level Changes

#draco #dragon #cartoon #indie #update


Hello everyone.

Sorry for the lack of updates again, I've been actually having a hard time working on the next level Monster Cavern. It's not just real life issues that have been bothering me, the real reason was because I was struggling with the enemies and obstacles for the level.

I kept brainstorming a lot of ideas, but more and more kept coming and I couldn't just pick one. And I didn't really like the ones I picked. See, I wanted to put a huge emphasize on monsters hence the name, that means a LOT of potential ideas that I just couldn't decide on...

I knew this was becoming a problem, because I was spending months with in my head and not acting on it. I need to get going, but I wanna do something that works. Thankfully I came with an idea, that I actually can stick with.

I decided to change level to from Monster Cavern, to Pirate Hideout. It still takes place in a cave, but with a more pirate theme obviously. The boss will be Captain Jawfin, and the enemies will all be Jawfin's crew, none of Taurus's minions will be in the level. Originally they were gonna be the 4th level, but again I was really struggling with Monster Cavern, I feel like this work better. Krush will be the 4th boss instead and will have a new level.

Okay, that wraps up this entry. Be on the look out for more game updates now that I FINALLY made up my mind. See you next time and Happy Easter.

Working animations for the next level. This animation won't be used though, but I thought it would cool to share it anyway. Plus I'm proud of this one.

I'm thinking about changing name of the game to: Draco Dragon. It sounds more original to me and easier to identify. What do you guys think?

Never get up close to Krush, but Draco doesn't seem too worried though.

I really enjoyed drawing this guy. I gave him a more anthro design. Might do more when I need a break from the game.

Working on the animations. It takes time, even on Procreate, but it's rewarding seeing my characters move.

I FINALLY decided on the enemies for Monster Cavern

SnotFire, the one -eyed monster, has a bad cold and will sneeze fire.

RockSmash, a rock like monster, will try to smash you and is very durable

Usually, I don't really do this kind of thing, but I wanna see the HEX Popgoes and Candy plushies reach their funding. Popgoes owned by @Kane and Candy owned by @Emilmacko
