UI & Animations


The Ui is progressing well at the moment. I added 2 instruction screens to explain the basic controls inside the game. The instruction on how to select and navigate units is actually animated

Animations

Here is a little trick that I used a lot for this project: In order to get that glim or sheen effect on metal or gold objects I animate within a mask.

For another animation effect I used a dissolve filter to generate gradient states of a fading effect. The way it is done by playing a sequence of these dithered layers.

And finally some items are super easy to animate like the doors of the buildings - just slide an element up and down and mask it :)

Crowd movement Today I managed to get a bunch of soldiers running. The special thing is that they do not intersect each other and nicely pay attention to each other as a group. Planning to add some sample vehicles soon as well

Placing enemies on the map This is more a smal update but I started placing enemies on the map so that I can start writing their Ai I might change the enemy color at a later time but for now they are green.

Unit Movement part 2 Some basic unit movement has now been added. Right now units can be selected and moved accross the screen. Each unit has its own collision radius and makes sure that no other unit moves into the same position as another unit.

Shadow The Hedgehog X pixel art

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

Terraria
