Been making some progress on the mansion level. This first section takes place outside and mostly involve combat but the rest of the level takes you inside the mansion and features more stage hazard and platforming.

As some might know, The legally distinct is meant to be a soft remake/reboot of pacman revenge, so i reuse a lot of ideas from it.
I particularly wanted to preserve the mechanic where the butlers became enraged when wine dropped on them from defeating one of their ally.

Ive also been adjusting the first secret boss, which was a tad too frustrating.
Funny enough, his moveset didn't change. I just added the ability to bounce on his head and land charged attacks, then he became way more manageable.

This one isn't new but it's a cool fight. This game overall serves as a nice opportunity to test out new mechanics since i dont have to provide as much art or logic to it.

I' ll add interludes to any levels that could benefit from a little banter between the protagonist and the boss.
Vanilla Vince got this silly dynamic where hes so boring that the protagonist cant find a reason to hate him

Well technically thats bretta idealised vision of zote, not his own.
From his shrine in godhome, id say you can determine that he does see himself as perfect the way he is.

Okay, been making some small improvements so far. Including a smaller, more convenient version of the hub (you can hit those switches to change the current stage) as well as the addition of an intro and a rioter catapult to level 1

Since the updates redesigned the astrologers to have makeshift outfits. I've kind of been getting the vibe that Aster used to be into larping since he just happen to be owning an actual robe.

Running a blank on blood&flames, so ill go work on my side project for a bit.
For a comedy game, its really not all that funny so maybe ill try adding some background gags as well as reworking the hub.

This one is kind of on the other side of the issue, but Champion Viktor from Lies of P is interesting in that hes supposed to be a human wrestler that has been brought back to life and upgraded with alchemy to reach his full potential.
Wouldnt call him beautiful but if you cleaned him up a bit...

hmmm i do wonder how you could represent that kind of uncanny beauty.
I have Dr stein from soul eater in mind, but even he looks more like a pretty guy in cosplay than an actual patchwork of human flesh made into an artificial adonis.

Korugues are an assortment of bestial races for my current project, #blood&flames
I mostly come up with them by basing their appearance and abilities on an animal or give them features that fit their preferred environment.
Most live in villages around the land and are led by a chieftain.

It can be hard to talk to other gamedevs, so to get to know each other, let's talk about our monsters, races, and other blorbos.
and if you don't know what to say, just post a gouda

okay kind of remembered that one gag in futurama where fry is in the desert on an alien planet and see the sun setting, only for a bigger sun to immidiately appear on the other side.
but then i realised...wait if the stars are in roughly the same spots, would day lenght even be affected?

Here is my current progress on the ashen highland and some new ennemies.
As you can see, my workflow tend to consist in starting with a pre-existing mob and slowly edit them into the new one.

They do kind of do it in god of war 2016 where Kratos utterly dwarfs Baldur in size and is also implied to be a better fighter.
Just happens that being immortals makes you a persistent threat even if the individual confrontations are manageable.

One often overlooked aspect of fromsoft games is that they do try to hammer it the lesson that "if it looks dangerous, it probably is"
The game doesn't expect you to fight everything you encounter, but it's there if you want to try and sometime avoiding the powerful foes is a part of the level.
