Afterglow
@afterglowgame.co.uk
A soft sci-fi sandbox RPG set a few years after the disappearance of exactly 66% of the population. Society now lives in the afterglow of what was once great.

Game inspirations: SWG, OSRS, Morrowind, & Outer Wilds, & many old MMOs.
Pretty sure my irl cat had an existential crisis watching me animate this. And occasionally had a swipe at it 🐾🐈

Melding, also known as skill learning/forgetting. This is probably worth watching with volume turned up.

Who said learning a skill had to be dull?

Welcome to the Melding chair. Learn skills through absorbing the knowledge that others already possess. Of course you still have to prove you should have access to that knowledge. Cannot be used without a skill pass!

I've been in programming hell for a month, and now I'm back.

Anyway, here's a giant lizard chasing me.

Decided to do something entirely different this weekend and make a very big lizard (think house size). The slowless hopefully shows that off a bit. Need to pixelate it and put it ingame next.

Added a subtle object highlight 🟨 & a new radial menu for when you open up additional options on objects. It's fun finishing a huge feature like a character creator & then getting to these little bits that add a lot of character themselves.

Finally, a fully working character creator. Full UI sound effects & music. Very glad to have this done. Need to add in default clothing options next but this is a big milestone hit.

Who knew making a UI keyboard for controller support would take so long. Happy with the result though. Music was my own creation too.

A still work in progress but much further along Character Creator. All the changeable bits are in place, what you see is what you can actually choose. I'll be hooking it up to the actual data & model tomorrow 👀

Added trails to Nanoflow abilities as well as improved bullet trails. Unfortunately (for them) the dancers have turned into my target dummies.

New additions: hit impact effects & trails to bullets. Also made bullets glow a bit more. The colour of a weapon's projectile will probably be customisable, or at the very least change depending on which weapon you're using.

Added a knock-back animation & tidied up the pistol whip. I'm so glad I added pistol combat, it already feels satisfying to use. Next up is making the actual projectiles a bit prettier.

The very basics of pistol combat. I'm happy with the intial gun model & shooting animations. The pistol whip needs to be a bit more satisfying though!

🔫Ranged combat. Still a bit buggy and some animations need tweaking but it's definitely getting there. Also added very short shorts. Some may call them hotpants.

Animations are life. Just added this equipment swapping animation, as well as a finger snap for quick self buffs. Made the music too. Thoughts? #indiedev #indiegamedev #pixelart #sundayvibes #pcgaming #solodev #unity
