This week’s Doomed Stars dev difficulty retrospective, the Dimensional Horror. The retracting tentacles had so many problems. They kept getting stuck or not allowing swapping abilities.

This week in Doomed stars we are doing a bit of a retrospective. For the Dimensional Horror, the my favorite vfx is the tentacle wrap around the ships. Each ship needs the effect set up for it.

The Dimensional Horror is all about grabbing & throwing enemies while your Eldritch Beam to recharges (& using grabbed ships to block projectiles & heal).

While the bread and butter of the Dimensional Horror is its grab and throw, the Eldritch beam is the most powerful of the beam attacks & my favorite of its attacks.

The Dimensional Horror was the starting monster & just generally inspired by eldritch tentacle monsters, & a memory from childhood of some star eating tentacled monster in a game.

Not all the ideas it into Doomed Stars (or the update we are working on). Once thing that was cut was an idea for enemy heroes. We had some visual, but never designed AI for them.

In my continuing quest to improve the Drake’s visuals (despite subpar art skills) I redid some of the joint visuals. Adding some texture blending & some stretching effect to the main body.

The Drake has been difficult to balance. Test runs alternate from “die quickly” to “steamroll everything.” Our focus has been on tweaking max health & heal rates. It’s slow but we’re getting there.
