Hud revised


We replaced the previous HUD layout into something new with much simpler design.

The previous one was weirdly quadrant and too small.

Our main focus was to use energy in the game, so we added energy icon at the center of the bottom of the screen.

But it did not work properly. Before making, we actually skipped the whole understanding of relation between the HUD element and the player's view.

So, we added all the interfaces at the bottom of the screen, considering most characters' position were located at the bottom.

The Small HUD was a problem, and it would modify its size.

After thinking about character's special abilities being frequently used, it's placed on top of the character's head and at the bottom so player can check the status in their view at any time.

Player's view is very important to making HUD. Be sure to remember that.

It's been a while, and I returned with the opening animation! I participated in a contest called GIGDC. I will upload a short gameplay video soon.

Leah Run & Stumble.

New M16 is approaching... Now he looks more like concept art. I did some idle animation for him and also changed Sub-weapon's design for a more recognizable one.

Cutscene progress

Dodge & Shoot

Let's back on track! here is some pixel art stuff I did for the cutscene.

Writing dummy data for the cutscene is almost complete. Now I can say getting closer to an update I guess

Another portrait progress!

Here is Dr.Miller's portrait of who made M16.

The cutscene element is getting tough...pixel art is the hard one... there are so many things to be done. here is M16's portrait I did last week.

Inserting some lines for the cutscene!

don't mind about the blue M16 it's just a placeholder

Animation progress.
