Good news. Smile Run is a game. We now have:

Main menu
Character select
Play multiple game versions
UI
All game over conditions

It is still a long road, but I feel good. Here is an old test video. (some placeholders have since been replaced)

Happy Halloween from DragonWolf Games. Kit wanted to be a Dragon, but Lilly was not amused. It looks like the wrong costume was also ordered in the back.

Another character model finished. For only my 3rd character model, I really like how she came out. I am not sure 100% what color to make her, or what her name is, but I was happy enough to share her early.

A little teaser for the next character. She is the owner of the Smile Cafe and looks after the Smile Builders kids. I still have a lot of work to do on her. I hope to reveal her for the Halloween post.

Meet Lilly. The Dragon of Dragonwolf Games. She joins Kit in the Smile Builders club. She will also be a selectable character in all Smile Builder games. She is good friends with Kit but can sometimes get a little annoyed by him.

I thought I would make the obstacles sillier as I went. I am not sure what the random booth sitting on platforms in the sky is, but someone set it up. It's closed though. I decided that the workers were too lazy to stack up the cones properly.

I am spending the day reworking the platforms of the sky environment. Gone are the garbage little clouds that hardly looked like they held up the platforms. Now they look more realistic. For platforms floating on clouds realistic.

I spent time today working on the logo. I made a version where the purple shapes out an arrow, but I thought this one looked better. I already had a complaint about the fade from the brush I used. I thought it looked cool.

Kit hopes you are having a wonderful day.

It's just one of those days. I spent so long on this little walk and he still slides along the floor. I think I am going to have to move to plan b for this video. Kit really did not have a reason to be this sad anyway.

I am not sure how useful it is, but I added a way for the player to switch between three different camera angles. Don't mind the random switching of Kit holding the torch. I was testing the animations without having the cave set up yet.

Replacing the run cycle from yesterday. I like this version much better.

The sky environment is finally starting to look like something nice. These may not be the final assets, but I like the way it is looking. Tomorrow I will work on some ground objects that will randomly spawn. Also, first screenshot of the actual game finally.

I am finally starting to feel happy with the Smile Cafe. I still need to make the "menu" board. Looks like Kit really wants some ice cream.

The Smile Cafe is now serving ice cream. Important for "Ice Cream Mode" in the Smile Run game.

Kit. You do not belong behind the counter. Get out from behind there.

Kit's model has been reduced from ~43K vertices to ~13K vertices (with clothes) and still looks good. I will have to repaint him some. This will run so much better in the game. I could try to reduce it more since mobile devices are one of the target platforms.

Kit. I know the clouds in the sky environment look comfortable, but they will not have any collision on them. You can't sleep there.
