It’s not a very good quality video, but here’s a little look at the project so far!

After a VERY busy month, not much progress has been made, but it is starting to shape up I think. My goal design-wise is to create the “bones” of the level design, then fill the gamespace with detail.

I’ve leart that the two main ways to make an environment feel alive are sound design and movement, so I’ve worked to add these elements in three key ways:

-Water that moves/has sound effects

-A day/night cycle

-Movement sounds/animation

There are additinal steps I’m going to take to build further “living” elements into the game space, to really make it feel like a place worth exploring. I am DEFINITELY dodging the harder parts of development (i.e. actual coding), but I’m still happy with the progress so far.

Testing out flight above the new clouds! Can’t wait to see how beautiful this game is going to become.

After my first year of making little games, I feel I’ve learnt quite a bit! This year though, (inbetween the busyness of life!) I would like to make a game that fulfills three main criteria:

Has an engaging narrative with interacteble characters

Is hella cute/cosy

Has a playtime of at least 15 minutes

To that end, I’m very excited to share the first images of my new project (which I still don’t have a name for). I am expanding on some of the skills learnt from my last projects (3d platforming, probuilder, full animations), and plan to expand on those by having collectables, an inventory system, narrative objectives, and possibly even a music minigame? I also want to make more of my own assets, like the water texture, and general sound effects. 

I’ll post updates every month or so, and hopefully before long I’ll have something that looks like a game!
