Probably one of the more involved backgrounds I've done for this game. I have a timelapse of making it that I might post on YouTube later as well.

Did some animation and sound effects for this weird crystal thingy that takes you to new worlds. Still has a couple issues for now, but it's coming along nicely I think.

If you have a SubViewport in Godot, apparently you can assign its render to a TextureRect.
So I crammed the world into one, and made this really trippy effect by overlaying them. Probably shouldn't use it in the final game. Looks really cool, though.

Had time to spare between college assignments, so I could get a little work done today. Got halfway through drawing an outline for the new world map, and spent a couple hours making this movement guide to aid me in level design. Although far from perfect, it works well for now.

Was curious what would happen if I made the 3D update process rely on RNG...

Pseudo-3D trees.
Struggled a ton with figuring out a background for this zone, and although this is totally nonsensical, it looks cool and was way easier to do in this perspective.

Some procedural flowers and grass. I think it adds a dynamic touch to this zone which has been missing, and it's a simple raycast-based scan so it's very easy to deploy.
Also, yes, there's no background. I wasn't particularly fond of the old one, so I want to try something simpler.

Super rough 3D experiment I quickly made last night. Not entirely sure how I feel about the effect, but it could be neat as long as I'm subtle about it.

Finally breaking ground on a pause menu and map system. Might have a short demo ready before October.
I find that UI is kind of like a bathroom. It's not what brings people in, nor is it particularly exciting to work on, but I want it to be as clean as possible anyway.

May not look super impressive right now since it's just UI and has no sound yet, but this was a hassle to make! Especially the input remapping. Plus, I had to make my own button object since Godot's was being a little finicky.
Still some work to be done, but it's coming along well.

Well that's not supposed to happen...

Those blue boxes are supposed to tell the camera where to move to, room to room. I had to change the base resolution of the game to fit the gameplay better, so the size of a "room" has changed as a result. Meaning the entirety of all these old levels are broken. Guess there's no going back now!

Decided to test exporting in advance, and I am quite pleased to find that nothing has broken on either Windows or Linux. Very nice!
Though, running around the world I've created makes me realize that, man, this game's a lot bigger than I thought it'd be initially.

I've been trying to focus on this zone this past week, which had been hilariously underdeveloped for a long time. Progress is alright, though there's still a lot more work to do, of course.

New video on the YouTube channel soon. I've never done a video project quite like this before.

Was trying to make a toggle-able non-pixel-perfect mode, so I could have some smoother camera and parallax movements. I was worried it'd be a nightmare to implement, but most of the game played nice...

I've decided to do a little decorative work for one of the levels. Background's still a bit empty, but things are definitely starting to look a lot more complete.

Things are going fairly well on the game. Two zones are mostly roughed out as well as one boss fight, and I've started working on the third zone. I'd estimate I'm about, uhhh, 10 to 20% of the way there? It's a bit hard to say.
Anyway, here's an earthworm with a fist for a tail.

This month was a bit of a mess, but I got a fair amount of work done anyway. Got a number of mechanics and enemies done, and I've begun working on level design. Here's one of my favorite rooms so far.

Progress on the game's been going nicely. Most of the foundations are laid, now I'm just adding new stuff. Right now, I'm drawing tilemaps. Here's one of them so far.
This is a more ambitious project, so it might take a couple more months. Or maybe even the whole year. We'll see...

I made this simple effect for a game I'm working on right now. I think it turned out pretty nice.
