Astro Kat Update April
🕑 Added 2020-04-24 21:02:29 +0000 UTCHi All!
Here's another Astro Kat update. The demo is coming along nicely. I'm still prettying it up, adding audio, and I need to write proper text for dialogue/quests.
There is already an Itch.io page for the demo HERE no download yet, but I'm still adding info.
The save system has been tested and I've fixed a lot of stuff with it so hopefully it will hold up when you guys get to play.
A lot of works has been done on UI, and it's almost presentable. One thing that is still completely missing is a controls screen.
Here's the overview of work done since last update:
UI
Area Map
Set up a way for a pretty clean looking area map with a custom shader.
Once set up you don't need to worry about the layout anymore, and it auto scales.
Will share the setup in a few days because I think it will be useful for people :)
Main Menu
Main menu is pretty much done, Kat and Bot follow your cursor/selected object :3 Tracking build number now too.
Here's a little detail that's not huge but I really liked to have, a screenshot of where you saved.
Rest of the UI is in a pretty good state now. Just need to clean up the Log List and some small other parts.
Digging
Added a digging mechanic that you will later need a special tool for.
Also added a happy (placeholder) animation for when you pick things up!
Baddies
Enemies can see Kat again :D
Ice
Added slippery ice controls (sorry)
Botfriend Stamina
As mentioned in the previous dev diary, I added a little stamina circle to show how long Botfriend can keep you afloat. And there's fall damage for big distances. Yes Kat's don't always land safely.
Demo Locations
An overview of the areas you'll be able to visit in the demo :)
Assets from Livestream
Trouble
Livestreamed my effort to learn Blender, and we made this sword. It's currently in game as "Trouble", waaaay too big :P
New Hoverboard
Also made a replacement model for the old Hoverboard
Short list of other stuff not mentioned above:
- Added footstep particles/sounds for different materials.
- Cleaned up waterfall /interactive shader combi
- Fixed a bunch of save system issues
- Added wandering NPC behaviour
- NPC lookat behaviour
- Slope locomotion addition for character controller
That's it for now :)
Thanks for reading!
