#DOTween really comes in handy at times 😌.

Can't wait to animate every single screen! I wish I were a tad bit better in UI design though 😪.

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Hit & Shake

I added some dynamic, force-based particles ✨ to my hit effects and camera shakes as well. I think they look pretty cool and subtle enough.

Is it too subtle or just right? 🤔 Let me know what you think.

The base feels a bit more lively now. Hope Toby doesn't break anything...

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Mystery Characters

The first "reveal" of our upcoming playable characters. They will bring more than just "looks" to the table 😉⚔️🧪

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Minimap

A new minimap now shows all the POIs in the world. You can even see where all the resources are located if you want to

Here's a short video I made showcasing the Power Core system in Survivesmith. I hope it's a fun little mechanic for everyone to play around with.

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Colorful Guns

In our game, guns have different effects and colors. The best part - you get to pick them!
They are not just for the looks 😉

#Survivesmith #Devlog : Blue napalm

Loving the new impact indicators on the rockets as much as the blue flames 🤩
Could be super useful for telegraphed boss attacks too 🤔

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Weapon Forge

Not finalized at all, but this is where you'd be forging your own custom weapons at, using the power cores YOU created.

Min-max time! 🤓

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Core Forge

Here's the finalized version of the Core Forge! This is the first time I've worked on a single UI for this long. Hope it paid off 🫣

This is sort of a fun game on its own 😆

For anyone who didn't see my previous post, this is the "Core Forge", where we can create powerful "Cores" for our weapons.

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Chibi Mike

Our main protagonist is now a Chibi character! He's 50% less realistic than the last guy but 200% more cute ☺️

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Base

We added a small base for the player to move around, do some forging & upgrading before heading out into the unknown.

What do you think?

What's better than one objective?
THREE OBJECTIVES OF COURSE! 🤑

Did a little bit of a redesign on the main UI / HUD as well.

You've seen the robots, but have you seen these corrupted creatures lurking deep in the biome?

(Note: some animations are still incomplete.)

#survivesmith: New Overshield effect

I'm learning shaders!
Here are the new Overshield effects I created using the Fresnel effect and noise. How does it look?

#survivesmith : Dissolve shader

Here's a showcase of some things I've been working on: A dissolve shader effect for enemies, loot drop animations, loot magnet item, cryo bomb item, etc.

The survival kit can now be properly equipped via the loadout menu!
This is the most intuitive UI design I've come up with so far (I'm terrible with UI). Proud 😌

Here's a peek at the new Survival Kit feature. You'll be able to craft essential survival items during a run. The right item at the right time could make all the difference!
