🎵 A very basic proof of concept for the game’s boss “battles,” which will play out as a rhythm game. Assets are placeholder. I’ve built a system for a controller to interpret an array of beat markers and create objects to hit these four shield guys in time, so that’s a start!

🌊 Hello! Back in action with a 🚧 WIP 🚧 concept of how Straycloud's boss battles will work. These will play out as a rhythm game in which the player will use shields mapped to the face buttons to block attacks from 4 directions while swapping element types using the d pad. Player character is represented by the wisp in the middle of the shields. I like this conceptually cause I can represent the game world in an abstracted way that fits thematically

💨 Cruisin around on some floating platforms to find all the holes in my fall/respawn logic 🥚

🌧️ Happy #screenshotsaturday 🌞 Here's a buggy little scenario that will definitely NOT end up in the game ;)

🕳️ Trying some new things with pits/falling. Not sure how fun platform dashing is, but the platforms over the ocean fit what I'm trying to do with worldbuilding. Def need a splash animation now 💦

🏗️ Further room building! Things are starting to look more solid now 🪨
#gamedev #gamedesign #Straycloud

✨I find it's beneficial to work through bugs 🐛 by testing in high fidelity level layouts. Having to work around a real design helped me to understand falling more completely and to fix a couple of things quickly!

🎉 Happy (barely) #screenshotsaturday! Here's a side-by-side of level concept art (left) and current state of building it in-game (right)!

👁️ Keen viewers will notice that this update is SLIGHTLY different to yesterday's! More room building today, jokes aside. Dailies keep me honest, but sometimes I feel like I'm posting the same thing over and over again 🕰️

🚧 WIP: More room layout. 🌊 I did a concept design for this area before building the tilemap, and it's been really beneficial in highlighting how much more flexibility I've been wanting in my level design (and I still want more) 🌧️

🚧 More WIP: Ocean animations are varied enough now where I’ve got enough to handle different water-meets-shore scenarios! 🌊
#indiegamedev #pixelart #animation #Straycloud

🚧 Extremely WIP room build. Experimenting with an animated tileset refactor for the waves to make them more configurable 🌊
