sWitch: Devlog #2


It has a name! The name sWitch came from the switching mechanic that the game will be centred around, and the fact both classes start with the letter ‘w’ (wizard and warrior). I’ve made two large additions to what has previously been shown, along with some smaller changes. These are the new enemy and the ability to change between classes. The new enemy, the ‘demon’, is a fast melee enemy who takes little damage from the wizard’s bolts but is killed extremely quickly by the slow moving warrior. I’ve tried some changes like screen-shake on the death of enemies, but this still needs work. My main task now is to actually design a game! I think it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to create a prototype level in order to figure out how each level will encourage the use of the key switching mechanic. I’m not that bothered about the look of the game at the moment but gamefeel is something I’m very concerned about and acting on. Though I have some plans, I shan’t tell them since it’s possible they won’t be implemented by the next devlog. Either way, I’m going to make this test level as fun to play as possible through how it feels and how the actual world is designed.

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

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.

I did this on my 3DS ^^ #Kirby
