The road to demo 2


Yeah, I know. I keep telling you there's going to be a second demo. I keep saying it's going to be "soon". Here's a plan that I am definitely maybe going to try to follow to polish up everything that's really needed for the demo release.

== Mandatory ==

[X] Finish Chapter 3 gameplay (done!)

[X] Chapter 3 intro cutscene

[X] Chapter 3 outro cutscene (Nightmare's version)

[X] Finish Soulfire moveset

== Optional ==

[_] Re-tool Chapter 2 boss fight and ending

[x] Add missing SFX

== After the demo ==

  • Playable Tuhrahkkkii

  • Kodon's alternate weapons

  • Mid-level equipment swapping

  • Library and collectible data disks

  • Final title screen music

  • Flesh out the hub (NPCs, houses, etc)

  • Minigames

  • Party member conversations in the hub

  • Chapter 4 and beyond

So remember, dear readers! If I come back to the dev log talking about one of the items under the Mandatory or Optional categories, that means the demo is that much closer! But if I tell you I just did one of the "After the demo" things, I'm going to need to you voice your disapproval and tell me to get back on track!

I'm sure if you all keep me responsible, we'll see that demo yet!

Okay, thanks for reading. As a treat, you can now go listen to my brand-new (and very mandatory) new music track, Cutscene - Briefing. Enjoy!

Sweet victory.

Kodon's prologue level is DONE! That's milestone 1 of 4 for completing Phase 3 and reaching Crucible's final release.

Stay tuned for more news in the coming months!

Avast! Space pirates!

And what's a captain without his crew? These scoundrels will be among the first to make life difficult for you in Phase 3.

I thought the escape sequence in Chapter 2 didn't have enough urgency to it, so I spiced it up a little.

I also wrote a new song to go with it!

Keep an eye out for this in the next update, coming... whenever I feel like it.

Behold, your reward for beating boss rush - this sick-as-heck 3D cutscene I threw together over the weekend!

Yeah, I know the game is mostly 2D, but I really felt like going way over the top with this game mode. I hope it paid off.

Sure has been a while since I posted something new, huh? Well, that's because I've been working on something big (that, and bugfixing).

Here's a little preview of that something!

There's something off about this room.

Almost as if we've entered a new dimension - a THIRD dimension.

Anyway, Construct 3 has had 3D features for a while and I decided to play with them a little. What do you think? Cool effect? Too jarring?

I got a little creative block working on the lake level, so I skipped ahead for a bit.

This is the Boss Rush arena event! You fight many/all bosses back-to-back here.

I decided to go crazy with 3D effects here, since it happens in a virtual reality room.

More underwater friends :)

Rejoice! The jankiest puzzle in the game has been re-done.

It's still a little fiddly, but now the boulder's less likely to do screwy things like get stuck on a platform, or teleport you to the side on touch.

Scenic subterranean lake ambiance.

It seems so peaceful... for now.
