Game
Dead Drift


3 years ago

I have been studying to change the game's perspective and it looks like it's going to be a good idea!

#pixelart #gamedev #retro #indiedev


Initially, my idea for this game was to use a top-down perspective, with isometric 8 angles car and other sprites. However, after experimenting a bit, it seems that going full bird's eye view is the way. All movement is going to look a lot smoother (I can rotate all sprites in all 360 degrees) AND I get to use Construct's Z Elevation parameter for objects, which will produce a nice "fake 3d" effect.

In the first image I'm showing how I'm slicing the objects. There are two layers, the top and the bottom one. The former is configured with a larger Z Elevation parameter than the latter.

This produces the "faux 3d" effect that appears in the second image. Pay attention to the car's top, and how it seems "higher" than its bottom.

I'm going to change the game's headquarters (which the player needs to defend) and also the enemy sprites, and hopefully I'll have something for you folks to see soon!

See ya

And, yes, we're both scraggly dudes.

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

WORKING A BIT ON THE MISSIONS UI!

Last time I posted a kinda bare bones version of this screen, now we got some of its art!

Still not totally satisfied with all elements, but I guess it's already a nice improvement :)

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Sharing the pixel art I did for a personal project I never got to make. The player would control an enchanted chest that had to investigate the disappearance of its wizard master!

What do you think? Would this had looked cool?

For this #DrawABirdDay I decided to make a simple animation as if Greedy Grackle was one of the Socks from Sock Town!
