Dead Drift

3 years ago

Showcasing the advances made in the Level Up / Upgrade Selection system. As players defeat the zombies, they will be able to pick new powers and become stronger, Vampire Survivors style!


The upgrade card art is still a work in progress, and I'm not totally satisfied with it yet. It looks too... solid, right now.

The upgrade icons are placeholders I got from this pack here, from Open Game Art. I'm using them to test where things will go and how they will look. I also think that the card text is still too small, but maybe this is aggravated by how cards 1 and 3 are crooked, making the text harder to read. I'll keep doing some tests in this regard.

Now, for the next steps, I'll code some of the powers and see how the game progresses from them. In this kind of game, powers and upgrades design is what matters the most, and the rest of the game will eventually grow from it and around it.

As soon as I have new powers working, I'll share them with you all here!

So long, suckers!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Everybody talking about the Super Mario movie and here I am thinking how cool it would be if they made a movie out of THIS game...

WORKING A BIT ON THE MISSIONS UI!

Last time I posted a kinda bare bones version of this screen, now we got some of its art!

Still not totally satisfied with all elements, but I guess it's already a nice improvement :)
