Working on a demo build now. I got one of the first main parts finished, which is the Arena. In this mode, you can configure your Mech and your enemies, then initiate a battle in a newly decorated level.

This is basically my delayed #ScreenShotSaturday. I got slowed with #GodotEngine being silly about particle system limitations. Uh yeah, anyway--WIP scene of Alex being hunted by Homo Draconus Interceptors on Lost Eden's surface. Going for vibes

Added in the equivalent of i-frames for incoming missiles. Perform an evasive boost at the right time, and missiles will lose their tracking. In the video, the tracking window is the white sphere. For the future I'll probably increase the length of the dodge window.

Been improving missile tracking. I added predictive location calculations based on target speed and direction. This helps make them more accurate. In the video, the white sphere is where the missiles are predicting their target will be.

I thought I was done with death system things, but I forgot a game over screen! So, taking inspiration from all the souls games, I threw one together.
Here's a POV of the whole experience

Full death cycle and vfx finished ~
To summarize: when a Mech's health drops to zero, it enters a disabled state, which has a second health pool. During this state, the player can eject and run. After more damage is taken, the Mech explodes.

Did some responsibilities & treated myself to some more WIP sauce work for Zenoken. Lost Eden, although a dead rock, is being actively terraformed by the Homo Draconus leader Sargon--the by product being some very nasty weather.

Mech death systems part 2 ~
I added VFX for when the Mech becomes disabled. These effects will play while the Mech is in this state

Working on the Mech's death cycle now. First up, I had to do some VFX and animation work.
Upon receiving too much damage, the Mech becomes disabled: kneeling down as its systems are wrecked by explosions.

Added a minimap to the bottom right corner of the HUD. Its zoom scales depending on if the player is on foot or piloting their Mech
(p.s. I know it's hard to see in vid, sorry)

Similar to the main boosters, I also updated the VFX for the travel boost system. I did my best to work with the particle effects that were provided from the same asset pack and it works for now, but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it

Decided it was time to redo the booster visuals for the Mech.
I Found a jet thrust VFX asset pack and after some tweaks to support scaling intensities, I got something pretty decent ingame

Working on tooltip placement now. I like it on the left side of the screen. If I decide to stick with the idea, I'll probably add in pictures and title text in the future.

Working on ingame dialog delivery now ~
Had fun mocking out an example exchange that might occur during a battle. Not sure if I like the scrolling text, might switch to fade in later. Overall feels good, gives another layer for your enemy to respond

Prototyped out a test scenario with buried Mechs ~
I used PCG to generate valid spawns. When conversing with an NPC, the player is given the option to search for a buried Mech. If the player accepts, a buried Mech is spawned at a nearby valid location

Got basic driving working via UE's Chaos Vehicles system. Still needs lots of little tweaks to get things feeling right.
I accidentally locked the camera without any lag and I kinda like it so I might keep it that way, we'll see

Next up: vehicles? I guess? Why not?
Learned a bit about how UE does these in their Chaos Vehicles system. Wired up this truck asset I found on the Fab store.
First thing I got functioning is player entering/exiting the vehicle with the camera handover.

Working on the "Over Drive" mechanic so I can finish this boss fight. Normally you won't take damage with charging up. Almost there though! Gotta work on parries next. Subtle Nod to beloved Akuma.
