DevLog 7: Visual Polish

For this update, I focused on enhancing the visual and audio experience in Ultra Shapes by adding polish to scene transitions, overworld exploration, and battle abilities. Here's an overview of what was accomplished:

Full-Screen Transition Effects:

• Scene Transitions: Added a fade-to-black effect to smoothly transition between the Start, Overworld, and Battle scenes.
  • This ensures a seamless experience for players as they move through different parts of the game.

Overworld Enhancements:

• Walking Particle Effects: Implemented particle effects that activate when the player character walks around the overworld.
  • These effects add a dynamic visual element, making exploration more immersive.

Battle Enhancements:

• Custom Particle Effects for Abilities: Created unique particle effects for each ability used in battles.
  • Each ability now has a distinct visual signature, adding variety and excitement to combat.
• Sound Effects: Paired each ability with a custom sound effect to further enhance the feedback and immersion during battles.
