Polish Continues!
Posted August 08, 2022 by Chaz
There has been a bit of an overhaul to various things with Sun Escapes me, including the core assets!
- The Sun is now more than a series of lines like from the prototype!
- Your player ship is now half the size and so is your collision box. 64x64px screen size is a lot tougher when you are 8x8px! We are down to 4x5px for our green alien led UFO!
- Asteroids now look like they are made of different materials.
- Nebulas have received a bit of a visual upgrade but could still use some work.
- Better start screen to reflect the more unserious tone the game has while presenting some meaning.
- A lot of small graphical improvements like accessing a smaller font contained within Pico 8, adding a blinking effect, and hit effects on rocks/nebula.
Next big steps include adding pickups and actual waves or levels. Hope you try out the game and provide some feedback!
