Update on the previous post - dynamic lighting is TOO needy, but I might consider it as a higher-end graphics setting option for the full game. So for now it is a battle between me and static lighting

Will add a bit more lighting, but for now finished with this section of the Depot level.

Something of an atrium in the middle of an office area.

Made a simple comparison table of the most popular asset stores! I was mainly aiming for 2D pixel art, but it is applicable for other asset types as well. Overall, itch io is probably ahead for me, but it is worth the time to set up other storefronts too.

Made a scrollable gallery for completed puzzles in the main menu. Can be scrolled/dragged with mouse and with touch. Wanted to make something similar to a node-based map that many mobile games feature, but without a scrollable background.

Spent some time on making an adaptive UI for my html5 game in gamemaker. Buttons and pictures now resize and shift if the browser size changes.

Started working on a new small game for web plarforms. This time it's going to a be a puzzle slider gameplay with retention mechanics around it - progression gallery, decorations as rewards for certain milestones, etc. Maybe some leaderboards.

Did some more level design this week. Found out that the tutorial tvs broke at some point, while I was improving the interactions system. But if I don't tell anyone that these screens are supposed to show text, nobody is gonna know.. Oh.

Just jumping around Spaceport, collecting energy

Moved to version 5.6 of UE, had to adapt to some changes like the enhanced input system getting rid of some things. Still, there were also some changes to global illumination, which fixed a few details for me.

Dreaming of finishing games
