GUIDANCE

2 years ago

Hey everyone, it's the GUIDANCE "monthly" devlog!

I've got some fun things to share since last time! (finally)


First off, it's been a while. I took a bit of an extended break from doing much development for a few months, but I can say I'm finally back.

For over a week I worked consistently on the game a little every day, and I've made both good forward progress on the game, and improved some older things.

The section I'm working on right now has a lot going on, but I'm excited to say I'm finally past the cutscene portion and we're into the interactive bit! I've done additional outlining for the Studio and this section as well, though I can't show you any of that yet. Maybe someday after the game comes out? Might be some cool behind the scenes stuff.

Naturally, there's the classic stuff to show, new and redone pixel art.

I think a great place to start is what I just did today, revamping the cave mouths when exiting the Haven. The old "art" was pretty crappy, so I think this is a pretty big upgrade! ^.^

Aside from some minor tweaks, the only other thing of note that I've altered is the cutscene where you meet Charlse, which I take about in this video here : https://youtube.com/shorts/AX5FrSf8IZg?feature=share

I plan to continue to make these videos weekly, so if there are any topics related to the games development be sure to let me know and I'll talk about them! ^.^

You can find a playlist which will contain all existing shorts here : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLimq3xjB4lad0rdGiSyM8vlaKOlrQA_MZ

You might be wondering what this section is all about, and while I can't say too much, I can confirm it will have both dice, and books. THATS why this section is a bit complicated, but I'm really excited to see your reactions to it when the game comes out! ^.^

As long as we're recapping new pixel art, I might as well mention the Claw that I made a few days ago.

@PrintedBore00 suggested I make a claw minigame, and while I don't think I'll do exactly that, I will definitely be using this claw in future puzzles. I'm planning on making test puzzles and trying out some different ideas, so when I'm looking for a larger playtesting group, or planning to release a public demo with some ideas, I'll let you know!

I've also made a new song, you can check it out on Sound Cloud here : https://soundcloud.com/luke-lcs/guidance-ost-mysterious-adventure-reverb?si=523d0d22d7ce4367bb3bc2e37619924a&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

I think that's gonna be all for now. I hope you have a wonderful day, and remember to Follow Your Heart!

Never said how much of my face the picture would show

The new demo for GUIDANCE is finally here!

This is a massive gameplay and graphics update, with a completely new progression system, reimagined bossfights, and plenty of tweaks!

#GUIDANCE is an original, meta, story-driven RPG

Instead of doing what I planned to do (YET!! I'M STILL GONNA OK!!) I updated the tileset for the Studio (Ch2 location) a bit

I think the floor and wall distinction is MUCH clearer now and just feels "right", even if the old floor tiles were very pretty.

@MewMarissa is a Jolter to Watch and and a game developer who takes pride in attention to detail and producing quality work! Follow @MewMarissa before the quest ends on April 8 and you'll get Coins!

Just thought I’d share the inside of the back of my sketchbook

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Re-organizing my gimp(free photoshop) file for all the enemy sprites in the game and thought I'd share some behind the scenes images I may or may not have already shared.

I think I have the second one but not so sure about the first.

Also, I think I made this couch look even better.

It's slowly looking more and more like it's undeniably a couch which also doesn't look like garbage!

Great news! 📢 @Aya_Games has joined Game Jolt!

They're the indie studio behind the haunting & atmospheric horror platformer Ayasa: Shadows of Silence.

Both my phones photos app and discord have recently made major changes to their UI for the first time in what feels like years and it's majorly pissing me off
