PARALLAX VEIL

When you start throwing primitives together to start creating weapons and it turns into the millennial puzzle. xD

Been working on this worldspace for the past week and things are really coming together. I can't wait to populate the space further with NPCs to really drive the immersion of a bustling sprawl.

My internet died yesterday so I just kinda went a bit nuts on working on my hub world for the last 48 hours.

More world building progress!

more world building stuff :)

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #gamedesign #soulslike #rpg #cyberpunk

Started working on some world design today. Mostly dialed in the ambient vibes on a small sample street I slapped together for now. This will build out into an explorable Hub world in between dives into the main game play space.

brief update on corruption spreading mechanic for PV

#gamedev #indiegame #soulslike #battleroyale #nightreign #newgame #mechanics

Very rough start of building corruption zone that will creep from each infected node. I am working on the logic right now so that when it touches a non-infected node, it will trigger a domino effect across the game world.

We can tie this into all kinds of world events.

#indiegame #gamedev

There's definitely a balance to it, for sure.

While the lack of control will force players into a funnel, having control of where things spread can also force players to move to the location to stop the spread temporarily. There will need to be incentive to both paths of gameplay.

Exactly my line of thinking as well. It makes gameplay much more compelling as much as it can be chaotic - that sense of chaos is what truly drives challenge by being only slightly out of a sense of comfort while still having a sense of control.

This puts gameplay in the hands of the players in a PvE setting, and becomes a much more "mission" oriented game with a two-sided "battle royale" type situation:

Clear the corruption - or point of no return, defaulting to "Final Showdown".

#gamedev #indiegame #soulslike #nightreign #battleroyale

By unlocking a "site of grace", it can shutdown the corruption from the inside, and shockwave "clear" the corruption to nearby sites.

#gamedev #indiegame #soulslike #nightreign #battleroyale #gamemechanics

For PV - I wanna try something different.
Instead of a collapsing bubble / circle, I want the mechanic to be that "sites of grace" become corrupted. The bubble / circle starts to expand from them and causes a domino effect to the others.

#gamedev #indiegame #soulslike #nightreign #battleroyale

Nightreign uses this same mechanic, but it only makes sense to draw every player towards the boss. Nightreign is PvE with "battle royale" elements that don't truly make sense to me other than the flow of gameplay. (Which I will say I do thoroughly enjoy.)

#gamedev #indiegame #soulslike #nightreign

Some ideas for Parallax Veil inspired by Elden Ring: Nightreign

Every "battle royale' game does this simplified collapsing circle thing. You have no control of where it's going to go, and you sort of are at the mercy of the game, drawing players together for a final showdown

#gamedev #indiegame

Progress has been a little slow recently, but we're still working on things in the background. Recent goal is to get away from using the test model, and build some to fit the game and character generator.

More to come soon!

I'm currently moving, and during this downtime I am also wrapping up some things for other projects. We'll get back to dev work in the near future, following MAGFest at the latest.

Hope everyone's had a good start of the new year. 🙂

Got a bunch of Legos as a gift today, I plan to use them to prototype and build some world space. :)

Happy Holidays!

I'm taking a break from dev work this week, but got inspired for some new mechanics last night. Definitely will analog tinker with them on paper before getting back into the code.

Hope everyone has an awesome holiday!

keep your asset pool outside of the project and only include the assets you are using.

also, copy and save to a new folder:

Assets
Packages
User Settings
Project Settings

This is your actual build and bypasses saving gigabytes of millions of 1KB umbracache files.

Inventory Management System Framework is going smoothly. We're well on our way to making some UI Menus soon so we can manage everything in-game, then it's CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT!

Much cleaner simple procedural wall destruction.
We'll make plenty use of this.

Still a LOT of work to do to polish this type of stuff, but there is framework done for destructive wall interactions. I think stuff like this can be a lot of fun to explore the game world for secret pathways and chambers.

AI Update - Enemies will pursue much more aggressively by dynamically sprinting, running, etc towards their target to break the distance quicker. This will also allow me to delve deeper into advanced AI to make them fight more dynamically.

Adding some framework for the parkour system.
Definitely needs some polish, but this will allow me to add in a better ledge grab mechanic.
