It’s #ScreenshotSaturday
Made a good amount of progress on Ellan this week, mostly on the code side 😅
Now I’m trying to figure out what I should play this weekend.

Yup, finally fixed that annoying bug where the boss attack logic was going completely insane 😅
(Everything is still a prototype right now, please ignore the spheres and cubes :) )

So… I was prototyping boss attacks for Ellan and this happened (Bug) 😅
Yep. Totally balanced. Absolutely intentional 🤣

Made some upgrades to a custom tool I use for packing textures today.
It’s a bit smarter now and fills in the gaps on its own when things are missing 😅
Less manual work for me, more time saved.

Worked on a bunch of animations today, and everything was going great…
until I somehow messed up the weight painting and broke the mesh 🥲
Calling it a day now, I’ll deal with it tomorrow. Headache included 😅

Work on Ellan is going pretty well, feels like a solid start to the year.
Still laying down the core foundation, with a lot of systems being built custom from the ground up

Wrote this code for Ellan that helps the boss decide attack ranges and areas.
It keeps track of each attack location so they don’t overlap.
Still testing whether this should be more dynamic or based on pre-made layouts (Just Prototyping)

Still working on the finite state machine for boss fights in Ellan.
Testing out modular attacks right now, it’s more work than I expected, but we’re getting there :)

Worked on the boss's FSM system today.
This will be the base system I’ll be using to build most of the bosses in Ellan.

Worked on the basic boss states today.
Still figuring out the core system, there are a lot of ways to approach it, but right now, the goal is something that lets me prototype the boss properly

It’s been a tough, slow, and meaningful journey working on Ellan, but things finally feel like they’re clicking.
Thanks to everyone who followed along, gave feedback, or just showed support.
Excited for what’s coming next year :)

A little behind-the-scenes look at how the wind shader works in Ellan: The Lost Soul
Wind really makes a great impact on the scene and makes it feel alive. It is one of my favorite parts of a game

Put together some basic grounded rules that’ll guide most of the future level design for Ellan.
I’ll start prototyping from January, just need to wrap up some contract work first
