The beetle shell is now fully VISUALLY implemented! Next thing on my list is a unique sound for Hensen equipping it.

Okay, so I've gotten the functionality for the beetle shell render over the player working! (using the first 3 frames from the beetle shell collect animation as placeholder sprites, these ARE NOT the final sprites)

I've been working on improving the coin animations for Deathly Descent! This is what I've got done so far, I still need to make the sprite-sheets for the gold and platinum coins.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Here's a short demonstration of the beetle shell power-up in-action! It's not very obvious what it does at the moment because I still need to work on a lot of the effects for it, but the functionality is there if you pay attention to the health bar!

Okay so fast forward ~2 and a half hours of work and I've gotten an effect to play when the shield breaks! There is a sound effect too but for some reason it sometimes doesn't play... Need to figure THAT out now... v0.2.1 is on the way today!

I've been working on some proper visual art for the beetle shell when it's equipped! I've also gone ahead and drawn a break animation for it. All I need to do now is actually set all of this up in Unity which I'll probably do on Tuesday.

I added the leaf shield to the beetle since the last time I posted to Game Jolt! I've also added a detail where it deteriorates over time as you strike it with bullets which I think is a nice touch! Yes, it's a separate sprite from the beetle himself lol.
