I will do stg about the spring arm, probably, would you please elaborate what is missing there? Is it too close?
I think I will have the hard to read problem solved by lunch, at least i hope so. Already on the audio part, tho now its a bit of an ear torture lol, will tinker with it more, but it is a solid tip.
The ground boost not costing energy is intentional, i did not want to "punish" the players for skidding around.
Yeah i get the momentum killing vibes of the attacks, tinkering with a way to kinda make you semi-orbit the enemies you are attacking, since i dont want to just slide the players past the point of the attack.
I also get the dislike of the exploding enemies, i was planning on enemies you can go ham on, but time constraints. I might add 'em now tho, but then i would probably make getting to them a part of the challenge. Right now i was aiming more at a"float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" approach. A make sure your attack counts kind of deal. But i can see that it can be improved upon.
I wholeheartedly welcome critical thoughts, they show that my little jam entry got a reaction strong enough outta people, so thanks for that.
You mean marble garden zone? Yeah that one mechanic may have left too much of an impression on me. Sure as hell did not have that in mind while scripting, but seems i always have it in my soul. lol
I kinda got a vision for the whole of it all, so i will do my best the bring out the best from this project moving forward!
When I see that people found the dragon not that hard, I get mixed feelings. I am glad for once because that means enough time was given to the players to get accostumed to the controls. On the other hand, my poor lizard baby is gettin bullieeeeed.
The attacks have enough range that you dont have to get close to them, so you would never have to sorry about the blasts. Also your momentum should keep you going even whole attacking.
Nevertheless I shoulda at least added a crossair to indicate wether one is in range or not.
Edit: and you got me with the respawn point! Shoulda added one!
Yeah They are slow on porpuse cause i wanted the player to get into situations where a decision needed to be made between the berries. Maybe i will randomize thier fall speed and then speed up the 'hog
Thx, will do! Simply kept coming up with blanks as tho the level design. Wasted too much time on that, didnt have enough to figure out a proper movement system for the npc's.
Thanks! Tried my best. Yeah I wanted a kinda slippery but controllable feel for it, but it coulda used a short sidestep at least and more indication for the boost.
Glad you liked it! Im planning more tracks for it sometime in the future, but I plan their length similalry, maybee 1,5 times bigger, still testing that. I sorta implemented AI, but nothing fancy. Just gave chekpoints for the npc's rigidbody, then set it's normalized vector's endpoint to them one after the other. Tried navmesh but that wouldnt work for some reason.
Edit: wish i could take credit for the music too, but its a non copyright track, left the links to all used sfx's and music in the game's description, check 'em out sometime, maybe they got more in store that can catch your fancy.
I left the link to the artists in the desc, be sure to check their stuff out, if you liked the music. The go text bug is fixed im just waiting for permission for a reupload.
Yeah, i gotta reduce the platform size and maybe up the sideway movement speed in the future . Listen to the horns, let 'em fill your confidence gauge to the maximum!
