Coming up to the holiday has been a really busy time, but I've gotten to squeeze in some little bits here and there. And right now I'm getting to stay up late to greet visiting family before we all get to go to bed. So what's better than a devlog update?
I finally got my wife to listen to the music. She… does not like it. That is, she thinks I did a good job with what I'm going for — discordant and creepy — but she doesn't want to listen to more of it. Of course, she has perfect pitch. And I made some heavy use of the "detune" effect, on top of other choices I made.
I also did some graphics work, finally. Not really huge changes, but some nice updates to the pod sprite and the … I don't have a name for this, but I guess "pod entry zone".
Old pod:
New pod:
Old "pod entry zones" (active, inactive):
New "pod entry zones" (active, inactive):
And I've had some fun with more animations, like the pod entry zone filling up when a lane is activating.
The commit where I added that ended with
Woo palette swaps and clipping! I'm a big boy now!
