Cavalcade

a short experimental horror game. play with bodies in a creepy museum.

devlog: cavalcade v0.3

Used a Layer Mask to keep the raycast used by the doors from hitting the player, fixing a bug where doors would flicker between intractable/non-intractable. Added animated "onboarding" info screen with brief instructions to the player re: sound, controls, etc. Ongoing refinement of body physics. the game now contains 12 rooms, which feels like a good number. Final stages of development will include finalizing the layout of the rooms, as well as how objects and lights within the rooms are arranged.

devlog: cavalcade v0.2

connected rooms with animated doors. Though the rooms are all identical in shape (square) and size, the "grid" is not completely filled in: there are not 4 doors in every room. When loading a new room, the Mother brain places the decorates the room correctly, adjusts the lights, and loads data about where adjacent rooms are. Doors are activated on those walls. Began adding ambient sounds into the game; working on balancing them so as not to distract from the rest of the environment. Mother brain now loads data from Scriptable Object databases so things like room info and Creat prefabs can sit in blocks in the editor.

S.Pet virtual pet

a tribute to the v. pets of the 90s with color palettes inspired by the GameBoy Color [Android, Win, OSX, Linux]

adopt today :-D  avkights.itch.io/s-pet

[avknights]

devlog: cavalcade v0.1

first build of the game. basic first-person movement set up. Breathe script added to animate walls, as well as Creat body parts. Objects to decorate the rooms, though they share the same underlying architecture & layout. Springy nodules can be enabled in some rooms; these protrude from the floor and impede the player's navigation somewhat. The player can push around and otherwise interact with objects with RigidBodies. These now include certain Creat body parts as well as the growths out of the floor, but tables, candles, lamps, tape players, etc. could also become intractable. This decision will reflect the flow of gameplay once doors & moving from room to room are more fully implemented.

(Testing Ogiren in the game)

This week revised enemy behaviors to make them deadlier. A faraway enemy, for example, will now choose to run up to the player and never to swing. Also overhauled the hit & damage timing and as a result combat is far more accurate than in early builds [ however this change was not implemented at the time of recording the above clip ]

A few shots from the process of rigging and animating a creature for [Giant’s Chalice]. I wanted to get this one just right...... Still needs some tweaks. 🐣

A few shots from the process of bringing a new NPC to life.

You’ll want to revisit NPCs as you progress through Giant’s Chalice because they might have new stories to tell you later on!

NPCs in [Giant’s Chalice]

A group of monsters called the Develmeron have overrun the human world in [Giant’s Chalice]. As a result, most of the human population is barricaded inside the human cities on the peninsula. 

Only a handful of NPCs brave the hostile monster-infested countryside. Find them and listen to their stories! Some of them may even have extra equipment for you....
