I had to realise one of the big problems with level design was that I'm not happy with enemy behaviour 🤔
and so I went back to the drawing board and re-thought the female troops logic 🤔
probably for the worse 🤔
I wanted to emphasize their silly nature so they occasionally strike these funny poses now 🤔
and they no longer jump into walls - turns out the check for keeping them safe was broken:
it checked in a direction and only then it decided to take a 90 degree turn .. to the unchecked direction 😓
also experimented around with adding a post process filter
the intention is to give things that old CRT look combined with what an ancient voodoo card and dithering gave you
it's a bit blurry but also completely optional so this is only for the hardcore enthusiasts 🤔
and I'm busy finishing the remaining enemies - added animated beam particles among other things 🤔
there are some small improvements: adjusting their scale compared to each other 🤔
and some got reworked into something new and annoying entirely 🤔
so once again I'm all over the place
and only got a bit closer to my goal of
figuring out how to make better levels 🤔
until next time 👋
