Afternoon peeps, Scriptor here with the latest dev news report!
Game development
I’m done implementing the second area of Aislinne’s playground: There were a few snags here and there during coding, though luckily it was nothing I couldn’t handle in the end. The entire “main” area for the omega worms has been implemented together with some (important) fluff, and I’ve also tied together some of the overarching code/events tying the whole playground together. Plus also fiddled with the code required for the next (and final) area of Aislinne’s playground; in which Kathleen will be playing a game of tag. With none other than the tentacled void Goddess herself... 👀
And unlike the pixie’s game of tag (which took place as a mini-boss battle), this one’s an “actual” game of tag on the 2D map. In which Kathleen has to run between points of safety while Aislinne barrels down on her. Quite a bit more straightforward than Aislinne’s other two games; since Kathleen will be spending it mostly running (and avoiding Aislinne/the traps she lays along the way). I reckon this part also should be a lot quicker to implement than the other two areas. Which is nice, since there’s also a lot of polishing to be done before the actual release next Sunday (23rd of February). 💪
As such the goal for the coming week is to have the entire “final” area of the playground implemented before Wednesday evening; so that I can take the Thursday and Friday to do some proper polishing, debugging and (if possible) shove in some minor extra content. We’re in the final stretch now! 💯
Onto the teasers!
Teasers
And for today’s teasers it’s snips of the worm den area in Ais’ playground! Specifically of the omega worm’s intro events; it’s when she encounters a rather inquisitive omega worm who hasn’t spotted her yet... with emphasis on ‘yet’!
As such Kathleen will have to think on her feet to make sure it stays that way...with multiple choices on how to tackle this specific encounter (though not all will lead to her desired result, maybe). >;3
(Also shout-out to Tonkatsu/Jacketfreak for provided the omega worm sprites; you da man!! 💯🔥)
And that’s all for this dev update, I’ll see you folks at the next one this Wednesday!
Greetz,
Scriptor
