Lutaland - Monthly Devlog 1


Welcome to the first monthly Lutaland devlog! From now on, I will be posting these progress reports on the last day of each month as an overall summary of the game's progress. Without further ado, here's the devlog!

Programming

I have made several large breakthroughs in Lutaland's programming this month. Some of the more important ones are:

A working text engine with character face plates,

(similarly) a cutscene system for the new boss, whose name is yet to be revealed,

and much more! I hope you enjoy these small sneak peeks.

Music

As you have probably seen, Lutaland's soundtrack is relatively short so far. However, I'm always working on preparing new tracks.

I also have a Soundcloud page! Check it out here:

Writing

My friends and I are working hard on Lutaland's script! It's not much but here's a screenshot of some of our writing:

...and that's it! I hope you enjoyed reading the devlog, and I can't wait for what's to come!

I'm testing an inventory/menu for Lutaland! The text used in the menu is only a placeholder, and will be replaced with sprites later on. With that said, what do you think?

I finished all the icons for the inventory! Now all that's left is to... actually... program it...

I recently created this song for the Lutaland OST to be used later in the game. Give me your thoughts on it in the comments!

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Using some recent additions to Lutaland, I have added this huge castle to the game! What do you think?

@MewMarissa is a Jolter to Watch and and a game developer who takes pride in attention to detail and producing quality work! Follow @MewMarissa before the quest ends on April 8 and you'll get Coins!

I fixed the water problem, and also ended up going down the rabbit hole of adding oceans, which were incredibly difficult to make. I figured it out though, and I think it looks pretty good! What do you think?

I made this Lutaland art, what do you think? This will likely be used in the game as some sort of loading screen.

Great news! 📢 @Aya_Games has joined Game Jolt!

They're the indie studio behind the haunting & atmospheric horror platformer Ayasa: Shadows of Silence.

I'm continuing to work on the inventory system for Lutaland, and have added a few new things, like icons for different parts of the inventory, labels for those parts, and a cursor!
