Unoxi continues to develop. I promise I'm going somewhere with this.

Too many times I’ve made a tiny change, thinking it’s fine, then I play test it later on and find something unexpected. And every time I say out loud: ‘This is why we test things’. At worst, you find a bug. At best, you discover a deeper mechanic that becomes its own section.

Unoxi has a very minimalist aesthetic, which includes the audio too. Most of what you’ll hear is ambient soundscapes or mild pads, but there is some music in places. Here’s a track that doesn’t quite fit the feel of the game. #GameDev #IndieDev

Another mechanic I’ve cut is Sidling. Unoxi adapts a lot of Stephen's Sasuage Roll and I wanted to try implementing a similar mechanic from the puzzle Backbone. It’s definitely a fun toy and can make some interesting devices, but ultimately breaks more puzzles than it creates.

I’ve played with a lot of mechanics ideas for Unoxi and not all of them integrate well. I usually keept everything behind manager flags, but I’m at that part in developement where It’s time to cut things. A cut example here is where blocks can be watered twice. #GameDev #IndieDev

Adding some feedback animations. Please imagine this as a video.

Sorry I don't post more often, but sometimes there really isn't anything visual I can show (That isn't a spoiler). So here's a jpeg of some wavey bushes, if bluesky had video #GameDev #IndieDev

I was trying to slightly randomise the hue of these terracotta tiles and made rainbow road instead.

The code is really simple too; I just loop through each puzzle object's position or size Vector and update the values as necessary.

Just reached 150 puzzles.

Some areas in Unoxi can be pretty vertical, so to create more colour contrast, I have a shader in my stack that desaturates the base colour of an object based on the player's position. (V. exaggerated example below).
