lately i've been trying to figure out the art direction for this project...whilst i really enjoyed the original style it felt quite cluttered at times and made certain systems harder to work on and i think this (slightly) new style is a good chance to focus more on the gameplay #pixelart #indiedev

before i develop the combat some more i thought i'd give myself some guinea pigs to test the new mechanics on...for now all they can really do is follow the player and get hurt but i'd say they're still pretty smart for a couple days work #pixelart #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

haven't had as much time this week but managed implement a shop system for the player to buy weapons/potions/relics...you can also finally drop weapons (and potions)...next up is to fully implement the potion mechanics and UI #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

got some more work done on the combat system including a weapon bar, fast fall attack, and a second weapon class...shields! shields have a less mobility than melee weapons, but let the player block damage whilst in use #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

a few years ago i made this free asset pack based on a cool gif i saw on the internet, whilst i'd definetly do stuff differently now it was a lot of fun to work with such a small colour palette kevins-moms-house.itch.io/factory #pixelart #platformer #itchio

started work on the combat system...my plan is to have 4/5 weapon classes each with their own move sets, with each type having a set of dynamic stats that can be tweaked to create new weapons of that class (alongside enchantments/effects) #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

on top of bug fixes and code-restructuring i added throwable pots, which break when hit and drop gold #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

it took a whole day of tweaks and errors but i got throwable objects up and running, including the unintended feature of being able to spam throw objects when stood next to a 'pile' of them #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

working signs, text effects, a health bar and poison...it's been a busy couple of days but so worth it! #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

the player can now 'die' in multiple (two) ways...meaning it's about time to set up a health system...and maybe even play around with status effects #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

on top of adding a lot more tile variations i added water that the player can't swim in, but can still cross with the help of floating crates...oh and there's a cute splash animation for when the player falls in #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

alongside new level assets like fallen trees and tree stumps i made it so only 1 action emote is displayed at a time making it a lot easier to tell what you're interacting with...i also made the emote animations a bit smarter #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

moved a bunch of small foliage to the foreground and made them fade out when the player or any crates are behind them...next up i'd like to create some more level assets to try and diversify the scene some more #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

you can now bounce on crates bouncing on mushrooms...just be careful of stacking too many crates as they might become too heavy to bounce #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

added a roof to this little tower that you can walk 'inside of' and a training dummy for when i start on the combat mechanics...i also added polish to the player movement and crates with dust effects and screen shake #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev

bug or feature? turns when you jump up through a mushroom instead of ignoring the collision you get super bounced #pixelart #platformer #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev
