This week - snowballing code problems, so not much to show. Started with having to update world origin, but that meant custom logic for loading levels. Which led to player sometimes spawning outside of playable area..

Added energized walls and some placeholders for obstacles, so here is some more sliding around.

Testing greyboxed level by running around and jumping on jellies.

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!

Started writing lines for future NPCs. One of them is a robot that likes to say inspirational quotes and take the factory job seriously. The other character is a merge of a robot and a candy planet inhabitant, which causes internal clash in personalities.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Some variations to greyboxing: started with laying down a path that a general player would follow (orange spline), then set some interactive elements (jellys) along the path, and finally - set up some obstructions.

Spacious arena-like room to introduce a new mechanic and give a mini objective. There will be a moving gate-mouth at the end of a conveyor that will need to be fed

@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!

Starting another level grey box. This part is a long conveyor passageway that sends goods from spaceport to other parts of the station.
