Nyctophobia development progress - 6

 It's been 2 weeks since my last post, sorry for that.

This is my sixth development progress post.

There were not many things that has been developed since I was trying out some effects and VFX, which are the things that are new to me. I needed to go through study, then trials and errors.

Anyway, let's get started.

1. Added things

Ghost Boss Monster - LookAtMe

- It approaches to the player quickly from somewhere. Player cannot run away from it.

- However, it slows down when it is close enough to the player.

- When player looks at it, it gets slower again, but player will consume huge amount of MP continuously while looking at it.

- still considering about the way of defeating it. Potential method will be not looking at it over 20 sec+ or so.

- When player is looking at it, screen will be covered by noise effect, zooming the screen.


Boss Ghost Monster Stage entrance effect

- now when the boss ghost monster stage starts, the effect will show up as the image shown below.


Next things to work on:

I realized that using shader is quite difficult for me to work on it right away, I'll start focusing on other points of the game first, wihle learning about shader as well.

I will be working on several things, such as finish making LookAtMe, adding more items and making selected item UI, making original character sprites, etc.


Thanks for reading, and I'll be back on next week Friday~Saturday!

 Long time no see! After December 15th, I've been taking a rest and spending some time with my family recently. Sorry for posting this post quite late. I've made several updates, and here comes a second version of Nyctophobia demo. I'll add the link at the bottom of this post. Updated points: - added a bit more camera effect to LookAtMe. - Finished making Digesting Room - Limited the number of item types the player can have - UI that displays the current item is added - fixed several bugs, such as fork boss not displaying when it is enabled. - now player can quit game by pushing esc button! no need to force-stop anymore. - For balancing, on second demo version, the required exp amount for level up is decreased in every level range compared to the first demo version. Additional note about development: - I'm returning to my study term in this January and I'll be busy because of it, so I will not be able to focus on developing. So the development speed will go down, an...

Nyctophobia development progress - 4

Another development post here. For this week, I tried to fix some bugs and change default sprites into something else to have some more details on my first MVP - very first beta version. Hence, there is no specific development content this week. Instead, I brought my very first prototype version of Nyctophobia! Nyctophobia will be having maximum play time of 10 or 15 min in later days, but for this version, the player is expected to survive for 5 minutes only.  For controls, common control system has been used. WASD for movement, and Space Bar for turning on/off the candle. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qq5Pra0kdnOUAp-kmPAmvoiuvUHUFXAT/view Thanks!

 7th development progress post! Updated points: - now LookAtMe's clear requirements are made. - fixed bugs on repositioning normal & ghost monsters. - Added original animation for LookAtMe, then added more simple screen effects. Every time the player obtains the clear stack, the camera will be zoomed in more, limiting more sight - Started making new boss ghost monster - Digesting Room - as soon as boss stage starts, player will be locked into the room. There is only one correct path, and player needs to go through the right path for 3 times. Going through the wrong path will decrease the size of the room, and going to wrong path for specific amount of time will make player GameOver. Currently considering about a way to show visual hint for the correct/wrong paths. I wish I could finish making the system of Digesting Room by next week, and start working on more items. I need to consider more for new items, but there are only a few types of items in Nyctophobia yet. Thanks for re...
