We've been going back and forth a lot about the detail level of it. Thanks man, I'm doing my best with the animationsĪbout the grass, yeah. Thanks dude, cool that you like it! We're gonna try to top it off with some light effects for all the lanterns and candles for some extra cozyness! On the animation side of things the scarecrow has sprung to life, ready to cause trouble for any collectors traveling through the Halloween Forest! We’re still trying to nail his color scheme though, hence his absense in the lineup! He’ll use his vines to whack players that are close to him, but unlike his less agile brother, this guy will burrow and chase you underground if you’re out of his reach for too long!Įncountering all of these enemies all at once would certainly be a daunting (and frustrating) challenge, so we’ll spread them out a bit and try to make sure the spawn compositions are varied and well balanced! We’ll also be adding a plant enemy called Halloweed, which is an upgraded version of the flower you might’ve spotted in our videos. You’ll want to dispose of these buggers as soon as you see them! They are trickster ghosts of sorts, waiting around for unwary travelers to play with. It appears as it charges, so you have some time to react, but will fade away again soon after the attack is finished.
Doing both of them seemed like the best thing to do! We just figured it wouldn't be fair to gimp down the keyboard controls in favor for a better gamepad setup. I'm personally more of a pad player, but I know there's a lot of keyboard fans out there as well. Haha, thanks man! Yeah, we're trying to cover it all. Thanks guys, we really appreciate it a lot! We're really looking forward to the coming 5 weeks and plan to give you guys some juicy updates at the end of every week. To start things off, here's the first inhabitant of the Halloween Forest, a little jumpin’ pumpkin! We hope you’ll will like it as much as we do! This is one of our favorite areas (at least to talk about) so we’re looking forward to a few entertaining weeks for all of us. It’s also here you will have the chance of helping a lonely scarecrow in a quest!
This is the home of the odd Candy Witch, a couple of wicked twins and a mysterious hooded man. The enemies and decorations will include things such as pumpkins, lanterns, candle lights, scarecrows, ghosts, mist and spooky trees.
The area we’re going to create is temporarily called the Halloween Forest, with plans to change it if we can come up with something better! The zone is somewhat scary (as you probably figured out from the name) yet still cute. The updates will probably be more interesting as well, for that matter! However, due to this arrangement, we’ll postpone the beta testing as well. It’s mostly good news, since we’ll get more done, and all of us sort of secretly wanted to work on new environments and enemies. We’ve chosen to create a new field in the game, and as such, the stuff we had planned to do will be frozen until this course is done. This way we can focus 100% on the game! The bad news is this is a project course so we needed a somewhat isolated element of the game that would take about five weeks to complete. We've been given the opportunity to work on Grindea for one of our courses in school, something we felt made sense. This has been our goal for the last few weeks and while there's still a bunch of stuff to do before we are completely happy, we're starting to see the end of the tunnel! So, we're getting ever so close to finish up our first beta of the game.
