Is a fully-interactive tutorial necessary for the beta build-out or are the in-game hints enough for this stage in the games development? I plan to implement a fully interactive tutorial eventually but that may not be very important for now...

Working on getting the itch page for Hensen Hopper set up which means creating a separate cover image for the game on itch (different aspect ratio there). I want to publish that with first beta build of the game so I DO need to get a move on with it.

It's unfinished but the backbone of "The Garden" is now visible in the main scene! I want to add a lot more to this backdrop later today and over the coming week.

Very small change, but I added a darker-green border to the edge where the grass meets the dirt. I think this gives a bit more definition to the transition between the two zones.

Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 18: @Otis_Le_PoOtis is the Creator of Bondee’s Barnyard and posts updates about their dev journey and their work on the sequel!) Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!

Been working on the visuals for the settings menu! I had the idea at the last minute to have the volume slider knobs each be different colored flowers which I think looks really cool. I left some space below them for extra options I may add in later.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Something else?

It's kinda incredible how much simply changing the text font(s) will, by itself, complete the aesthetic of a game, especially in the menus.

I love TextMesh Pro so much!

I added an animation and sound effect when the player collects the heal-up drop. In the lore, this flower is going to be Hensen's favorite food which is why the sound effect is a crunch like he's bitten into something.

@Miles_Games is a Jolter to Watch! They post great game dev updates about the holiday-themed platformer TEAM SLAY-BELLS! Follow them before the quest ends on December 24 and you'll get Coins!

I spent a really long time on this, I've been here since literally 3 in the morning (it's 7AM as I type) but I really like how it came out!!! The backdrop I had done before didn't feel like it fit with the aesthetic so I re-did it completely.
