Progress Report: What's to Expect in the Future


Hi, everyone I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and are getting ready for the Holidays coming up.

I thought it would be nice to share some updates and progress on the game so far.

1st I would like to apologize for the lack of updates and again. I've been dealing with a lot of real life updates and trying to keep myself motivated to make this game. You gotta remember that it's just me making this game, so I have a lot to do, like the character designs, game design, programming(that I'm still learning) and animations (another thing I'm learning).

But I've broken the tasks down so I keep things managable, like focusing soley Draco's Normal Animations, because to me those are the most important because the Player controls him. The animations can't to be too smooth or too rough, that way it makes things easier for me, and they'll still look good. You guys probably saw some of them before, the newest one being Draco's Aerial Attack.

Anyways Draco has one more normal animation then he's done. Then I'll start working on the assets for the 1st level Fungi Forest, as in the background, tile set, BG elements, enemies (only 1 though) and the boss.

Here's hoping I can at least get the stuff done before New Years. Fingers Crossed. Sooner I get the stuff done, the sooner I can get back into coding everything, then you'll REALLY see how the game looks.

All righty that's about it. The next posts are mostly gonna be artwork, but I'll get into showing gameplay soon once I get into programming again. Also don't worry, I'm not gonna show you EVERYTHING, just couple key points. All righty, Happy Holidays!

PS: Music and Sounds are at the bottom of my list right, since I have to either find music I can use commercially or find a composer. Not 100% sure yet, since I'm focusing on the art right. But don't worry I'll add them.

Draco's 2 new idle animations. One when he's up against the boss, and one when he gets the Sugarstar Donut.

WIP of Draco's Boss Idle animation, during boss battles

I removed some of the background elements, because I thought it was too much. Spoison's Boss level has background assets too.

Working on the new speed animation whenever Draco gets the Superstar Donut. Still having a hard time deciding between the two.
