I like testing colors and assets in tiny compositions, Kat doesn't agree

Devlog February/March 2018

Hi all!

Here’s a new Astro Kat devlog for you. Combined these two months cause the flu knocked me out for a while in February, but here’s a nice list of stuff again.

Other things that were done but not in the gifs:

-I made equipped weaponskins show up on your back -Started a puzzle element that involves spline meshes -Made UI updates that are on their way to be implemented -Updated a bunch of shaders -Added new breakable objects -Fixed target locking and switching and a bunch of smaller things/fixes that aren’t worth mentioning here (or I forgot)

I’ve also shipped Astro Kat mugs to the SuperGiant Stars :) (If you were previously in this Patreon tier for more than 1 month, and want one, please DM me on Twitter or Patreon)

Aura Lighting Tests

With the release of the free volumetric light asset Aura(link), I set up a little art test for what I’d want the final look for the game to be. I’m really happy with this result. 

The lighting may be a little too dramatic here, but I think it adds a lot.

Dodge and Dodge Effect

The dodge has a different animation, and now if you dodge right in time an after image appear.

I made the after image by using SkinnedMeshRenderer.BakeMesh(Link) and applying the Hologram Shader(Link) to it

The run-lines screen effect is replaced with a local particle system by now

Little Witch

The character that will be a travelling chef NPC got an update with new textures and shaders :)

AI System

Started writing a more comprehensive AI system, where you can combine different behaviors easily, inspired by this talk about Scriptable Objects(link)

As you can see, Kat is not very impressed yet, but it’s getting there:)

MiniMap/ Map System

Made this separate from the main project as a prototype. A shader that slowly reveals a map where you explore, and a way to cycle through multiple of these maps. Almost fully implemented in the game. I’ve explained the way this works more in-depth here (Link)

That’s about it for this time, thanks for reading!
