Drew some new sprites for the large floating platforms, I must showcase them in this puzzle! 😈

New feature alert! 💎

In #KatFS, the player can find and collect optional treasures to fill out a list, which can be viewed as a separate tab in Kalia's journal.

These trinkets will be providing insight into the world of Kalia, and plus they're nifty! 😈

Stone chests will have different colors and visuals indicating their contents (either a permanent HP upgrade, permanent magic upgrade, or a collectible treasure)

New treasure chest sprites for the three tiers of chests in #KatFS!
- Wooden chests drop a single item and can be broken open even if locked
- Metal chests drop 2 items and must be unlocked and interacted with
- Stone chests drops either upgrades or collectibles (WIP)

New skeleton class! The sword-wielding bags of bones also wear some armor, making them resistant to staggering effects!

They are slower than their dagger-wielding counterparts, but pack a stronger punch! 💀

Quite happy with how the Staff Guardian's animations are turning out! 🔥
A worthwhile first boss fight for the game. 😈 #KatFS

Experimenting with a new particle effect for the fires in #KatFS. Something a bit less distracting and more natural-looking 😈🔥

It really do be like that, don't it?

Been having some inspirations and ideas for improving the fire effects in #KatFS. Hoping to try them out later this week and see how it compares to the old ones (shown in this clip) 🔥

These hardlight blades sure hurt! 👿

The first boss fight of the #KatFS game is taking shape!
Behold the "Staff Guardian", an ancient security construct that will try to stop Kalia from leaving with the Fire Staff! 👿

A floating core, surrounded by rings which can project a blade of energy for attacking. 🔥

More sounds! 🔊
This time, SFX for the "elemental totems". If we're gonna have objects you need to shoot to activate, they better have a satisfying hit sound! 😈

Audio ON for this one! 🔊
Coding a "game jukebox" for #KatFS that automatically transitions between ambient and combat music. I'm aiming to make it feel dynamic and avoid flip-flopping between combat and ambience. 🤘

The "First Civilization" is notorious for its extensive use of magical devices, such as these hard-light barriers. Yet another new asset in #KatFS to finally get a visual component! ☀️

With most of the gameplay done for the first 3 chapter of #KatFS, I want to take some time this month to sketch out some of the missing visual assets, starting with these "Elemental Totems". I'm actually quite happy with how they've turned out! 🤘

Resgatar aquele conceito de racer de carrinho de rolimã da saideira da Gamescom do ano passado 😈

Certain scenes in #KatFS may need a fixed camera point so that the player can better navigate them. I'm glad the control scheme I've made for the game works wonders in this situation! 🤭

Happy Oktoberfest! 🍻 (In Brazil? More likely than you think!)

A look into the world of Kalia beyond #KatFS, inspired by the Southern regions of Brazil, which I hope to be able to explore in her future journeys.

Sometimes, the best inspiration is home 🤘

Remember Kalia's journal? It will come in handy when solving certain puzzles, as Kalia will automatically take notes and draw hints when encountering key puzzle pieces 😈

For example, taking notes of these code patterns so you don't have to memorize all of them!

In the upcoming "Archives" of the Facility Chapter, the player will have to figure out a passcode in order to proceed. 🔒
Scripting for this mechanic is set up, next step is the puzzle itself!

In #KatFS, Kalia will sometimes have to collect special items to activate certain devices, such as power crystals. I've been revamping the way "key-lock" interactions work, so that they behave nicely with the save system changes. Plus, you can see them being carried now! 😈

In #KatFS, you'll sometimes find objects locked behind magical sigils, requiring you disable them first, sometimes by finding the correct device, or sometimes by just defeating all enemies guarding it, as showcased in this clip! 🔥

While the #KatFS main story campaign is the focus of the game, I've been planning to also have a "roguelike" type of mode, where the player fights in a series of tougher combat challenges, with local score-keeping and potential special feature unlocks. 😈
