Devlogs

(3rd SDEEP Devlog) Demo Released!

Salvor DEEP
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

So... demo is out for PC and mac on the main page!

- 3 images are available in the demo, one is "technically" hidden, or at least its conditions are unique. More info on that in text document I included with the download file in case anyone needs clarification on how to get the images.

Your character will explain some mechanics, and will take the role of the tutorial giver in future missions as well.

Updates:

The demo is a bit rushed on the polish side. I ran into a few snags with some things, specifically the post processing, so I took some of it out for now, at least until I get a more consistent style with it. This is about how much I have currently marked off in the demo version.

  • Need a ton of half water sprites and such for better looking floors
  • Radar effect when discovering new items
  • Small particle alert when you gain the option to click Y/N
  • Several post processing screen overlay effects (Small amount of fisheye, film grain, CA)
  • Better chromatic aberration on the UI
  • Some water effects maybe when she swims
  • Throwing in some more sound to get random variation on each use.
  • Filling up the ground with a bunch of slight tile variations for variety
  • Still deciding on many of the symbols and UI 
  • + A few general low chance ambient sounds

I'm releasing the demo now since its gameplay is ready, but I'm going to give some of the polish another week before adding it in. 

In other words a small visual update will come out next week before I continue on with the content.


Also up to the last hour I've been squashing all the major bugs, there are still a few to watch for:

- Stacking text on rapid interactions. 

- Certain things not properly resetting on second playthrough.

- When waiting on a text interaction, interacting with it again can destroy it.

Let me know if you find any other bugs, I'll get these fixed by the next version. 👍
