These hardlight blades sure hurt! 👿

More sounds! 🔊
This time, SFX for the "elemental totems". If we're gonna have objects you need to shoot to activate, they better have a satisfying hit sound! 😈

Audio ON for this one! 🔊
Coding a "game jukebox" for #KatFS that automatically transitions between ambient and combat music. I'm aiming to make it feel dynamic and avoid flip-flopping between combat and ambience. 🤘

The "First Civilization" is notorious for its extensive use of magical devices, such as these hard-light barriers. Yet another new asset in #KatFS to finally get a visual component! ☀️

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

With most of the gameplay done for the first 3 chapter of #KatFS, I want to take some time this month to sketch out some of the missing visual assets, starting with these "Elemental Totems". I'm actually quite happy with how they've turned out! 🤘

Certain scenes in #KatFS may need a fixed camera point so that the player can better navigate them. I'm glad the control scheme I've made for the game works wonders in this situation! 🤭

Remember Kalia's journal? It will come in handy when solving certain puzzles, as Kalia will automatically take notes and draw hints when encountering key puzzle pieces 😈

For example, taking notes of these code patterns so you don't have to memorize all of them!

In the upcoming "Archives" of the Facility Chapter, the player will have to figure out a passcode in order to proceed. 🔒
Scripting for this mechanic is set up, next step is the puzzle itself!

In #KatFS, Kalia will sometimes have to collect special items to activate certain devices, such as power crystals. I've been revamping the way "key-lock" interactions work, so that they behave nicely with the save system changes. Plus, you can see them being carried now! 😈

In #KatFS, you'll sometimes find objects locked behind magical sigils, requiring you disable them first, sometimes by finding the correct device, or sometimes by just defeating all enemies guarding it, as showcased in this clip! 🔥

The new save/load state system is turning out well! Saving script states has been one of the messiest bits of #KatFS, but the new system should make it easier to manage (and debug)
For example, incomplete puzzles can be reset on load while finished ones load in a completed state!

New basic skeleton animations now in-game! This also comes with a small rework on how staggers and knockback work for NPCs in #KatFS - some attacks will interrupt enemies while others will blow them off their feet entirely! 😈💥💀

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indieBR

The #KatFS skeletons have been getting an animation revamp! Still a work in progress (they need their weapons back!) but I was eager to showcase how they're looking now! 😈🔥💀

No shock magic? No zapping coils? Just look for these electro canisters and light em up for an instant shocking explosion! ⚡
Very effective against skeletons and spellcasters.
(Design still WIP)
