New Build is up! and a new cat... wait what?


Hi ^_^ Finally I finish the new build of the game which will start giving you the context of the game and story… well at least what I want you to know at this point ;)

What’s new?

-I add an intro to the game, If you want to watch it you have to click on “New” in the start screen, please give it a look I put a lot of effort on it.
It will introduce you to 2 new characters and also give you an idea of what’s the game story. If you want to skip the intro well, just press “S”.

-As you know the outfit you are wearing will give you different power when entering to the platform part, now that’s visible only for 2 outfit: The standard one and the pajamas, I’ll bring a lot more outfits in the future.

Standard Special Power: for 8 seconds any enemy that’s near you will die in the momment, you will shoot blue neon ball as basic weapon and you will be wearing normal Allisa outfit.

Pajama Special Power: For 8 Seconds any enemy near you will fall asleep (in the future I’ll add a yawn animation for it), you will shoot white glowing eggs… yep and you will be wearing a sleeping hat with and egg on it… If you find the egg reference odd it’s maybe because it’s a cultural reference from where I live, we say to someone that’s feeling lazy (Like when you just wake up ) that he/she has “Hueva” which come from the spanish word “Huevo” (Egg) which is how we refers to “balls” which came from the expression in spanish “¿Te pesan va?” which can be translated to english like “Are they heavy right? (refering to balls)” soooo yeah that’s the reason… for the eggs… well moving on ^_^

-Many aesthetic changes: you might better check them out by yourself.

-This is not new but I bet none of you have figure it out by yourself: Since the fist build you can find in the menu an app to unlock something with a pass… The pass is: “hell” without the “”. more info on what you can see by entering that pass will be reveal in the next build ^_^.

EDIT: Ehmm also this cat will have a important role, I’ll talk more about it later… His name is Ñeko.

Quick note: - I had an issue with animations but it got solved. (For prototyping) - I just delivered a project for a client. I'm working on a boring but useful app for another client. I won't be able to post frequently (gotta pay the bills). #shooter

I just finished the shooting part. I'll try upload this prototype and the paper one I did so I can receive feedback early. This are gameplay prototypes which means: It should feel engaging even with placeholders. Aesthetics come after it feels fun.

Today I tweaked a little bit the face (Pic 1) and tested a few animations (gif). I was in an event from work so I couldn't progress that much but I want to have a better prototype build before February ends. See you soon! #shooter #anime

After doing some play-testing at the office, I concluded the following: - The shooting prototype will feel better with normal shooter movement. - The "Moral system" is engaging but needs more options. - 3rd person view feels good for exploration.

Instead of using the 3D model of a future game of mine (Last gif) I'll use this placeholder (more personalized) that shows the feel I'm trying to communicate in the game. I tried VRoid for 1 1/2 hour and I think I can use this model for prototypes

Lack of updates due to: - An event. (Pics) - Signed a contract to develop an app (ends July). 2 more apps in the queue - Improving and porting Void in the Sky (https://gamejolt.com/games/void-in-the-sky/406864) for PC and ??? (requires less time) - Still working on Soul Update

The prototypes build is ready and I was preparing a video for that post but I got a call today for a meeting tomorrow and I have to prepare some info TT_TT ... I'll post it tomorrow !

We are going from left to right. Why? the answer soon. (Don't you think that peeking ear is cute? ) - Limitations: I have to deliver 2 non-game related projects so I'm doing progress but slowly, I work on parts that help me relieve stress from work.

1st Digital prototype... almost finished.. due to "The genius" that crashed into an electricity pole near the office and I had to work on the prototype until 1 am :). Shooting is the only thing missing (Dash, aim + ray cast done). Will share it this week

Paper prototype for the Leveling system based on a moral one finished! Unfortunately I can't share it since it is on paper, but tomorrow I'll start working on the digital one for the shooting part and if there is time this week I'll include this one on it
