Hiatus


So, after a week of thinking, I’ve decided to put the development of Illumination on hiatus.

I’ve decided to do so for a couple reasons.

The main reason is that I’m constanly having difficulties with coding, and giving myself a break from something I’ve almost no clue about when it comes to programming, learning some, practicing more, and then coming back to it, will help me in the long run.

The second reason is because I’ve been playing a lot of BROFORCE lately as well as watching speed runs and it’s been making me want to try my hand at creating a platformer.

I’m not sure what to call this new project yet, but it will definitely be easier to do than a full-on 2D Turn-based RPG right off the get-go. Plus, starting simpler and building up in skill is essential to making good games all the way up to great games.

So here’s the run down:

Illumination — hiatus

Breath of metroid/mega-vannia (mash-up of the ideas) — currently under way until I am profient enough and have more skill.

Sorry.

First Screenshot! Granted, it’s not much, but… I now have a rudimentary main menu(shown below)!! HYPE:

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Just a Pico sprite

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Demonstration of the spells and their effects :)!

Terraria

a drawing I did because I was bored😪. But I love how it turned out.😊
