Xileh

Made a small town which will be the main hub in the overworld. Have to learn how to make animated NPCs next
#gamedev #indiegame

I plan on having some minigames in the over world. Not sure if I'll be keeping this one, but its a smash 64 board the platforms style mini game.

Moving along with the first area/tutorial in the overworld
#indiegame #gamedev

In actual levels there is no text, and all in level mechanics are pretty intuitive. There will be npc's you can talk to in the overworld though. I require a few different difficult movement options pretty early in the game though. So these pop ups in a quick 2 minute tutorial are pretty necessary.

Making a non intrusive tutorial but kind of struggling to make it look nice. UI is a massive struggle for me

Getting close to finishing the level. Can't make it quite as long as I would like because previous levels take about 10-15 minutes and this is already about 20-25. Any longer will be a little out of place. For my next game, I might just make a bunch of Zelda platforming dungeons
#gamedev #indiegame

Decided to scrap the idea of having an unlockable double jump and combined it with the float. Now if you hold the double jump button you will go into float.

#gamedev #indiegame

Thinking of making a Zelda style dungeon with this next one
#gamedev #indiegame

Adding platforms that will activate when you use your float. Not sure how to make the ones in the wall be more apparent
#gamedev #indiegame

Another level finished! Getting close to the end now
#gamedev #indiegame #unrealengine

It's on a timer. It will start 1 second after you enter the area then it's every 3 seconds.

Another section from the current level I'm working on
#gamedev #indiegame

Small slice for the next level. The spell obstacle gets a little ugly when it doesn't meet flat terrain, BUT it does make the player move

#gamedev #indiegame

Made a respawn/death vfx. Also had to nerf the spell circle obstacle because it actually would just flash bang you if you ran past it lmfao

#gamedev #indiegame

Finished up another level. It's bit orange so tried adding a bunch of blue particles to compensate💀
#gamedev #indiegame

Messing with a new setting. Start to add more of my own work instead of fully relying on pre-made assets.
#indiegame #gamedev

Took a break to play Deltarune and Nightreign. I liked Libra a lot so I made his attack one of my obstacles
#gamedev #indiegame

I feel pretty similar with mine but I feel that making a solid 3D platformer should come before trying to innovate on it. I have plenty of ideas that haven't been done, but I think its a better idea to make an unoriginal one first then move on once you've established your base. It's okay if it fails

Finished up the sixth level, onto the next
#gamedev #indiegame

Happy with how this level is shaping up
#gamedev #indiegame

Mini tutorial in the 5th level
#gamedev #indiegame

More new mechanics. Not sure if I'll keep the linear level but wanted to get something done.

#gamedev #indiegame

Took a small break but back it at. Making some mechanics for the next level.

#gamedev #indiegame

4th Level Clip Dump
#gamedev #indiegame

Finished up the first 3 levels, still have a ways to go though
#gamedev #indiegame

Small clip of the 3rd level. Still blocking out the rest of it
#indiegame #gamedev

Finishing up the 3rd level's mechanics
#gamedev #indiegame

Add some wind/leaf effects
#gamedev #indiegame

Small clip from the second level
#gamedev #indiegame

Bluesky destroyed the audio on this one. Sorry for those who played on full volume
