Of Obstacles and Milestones


With the development of Seeker, I have a clear and concise list of milestones I have set for myself to help further it along. However, I’m currently held back by a few technical issues regarding the Unity engine.

1. “In-Between” Pixels: I have the Unity2D settings set in such a way that 1 unit is equal to one pixel for easy math. Everything lines up well in the scene view. However, in the game view and in the web player, some pixels arent fitting in the grid properly. This is preventing the game from truly being 32x32 for the #LOWREZJAM

2. Sliding movement: While this one is likely easier to overcome with a bit of digging into the scripting reference, It is worth noting it as an obstacle. Im attempting to have movement happen in whole units, rather than sliding around in between. This also prevents the game from being a truly 32x32 experience.

With the time slowly ticking towards the deadline, these two issues are currently holding me back. The art assets can be made in a matter of hours, but I have been stumped for the last 4 days on these issues. Here’s to hoping I figure out a solution before it is too late. If I cannot solve the issues in time for the #LOWREZJAM, I will still work to complete the game.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!

A calm and quiet day.. Made surreal by the feeling of finding an elven building in the mountains, and wondering of its purpose and story. I built this elven style house and it was my first attempt at something like this, but what do you think?
