After several months of work we're proud to announce that our semestral project is finally released on itch io, please give it a go and thank you :D

Our game's coming out on

itch on 15th, final visual polish is being done alongside bug fixes. A bit of a crunch, but i think we'll get it in time :D

This update has been more focused on the UX instead of purely visual work. Fixing fatal bugs, making some quality of life changes to core mechanics and making progression work better, so there's not much to show off through screenshots and whatnot. In two weeks from now, we'll post a proper itch io link to the game :)

The college semester is slowly coming to a close, and so is our development time! At this point, most of the work we do on our game is related to visuals and general polish of mechanics and basic optimization.

It's really funny how when you begin studying game design, you realize just how little 5 months actually is time-wise to make something sensible.

We're also working on making a short comic that'd be shown right before the game to bring the player up to the context of what's going on

This week was mostly about the visuals work, most notably improving the shooting to be faster and more satisfying. Instead of enemies receiving different damage from different weapons we've decided to try out making the gun the high risk high damage option and knives being the less damage but safer option with their life recovery.

Now that there is a more-or-less functional alpha version, it's time to invest time into visuals proper. One of the more notable additions among many minor fixes and adjustments are a tutorial level and a much more vivid reaction to being damaged and using Frenzy(although i will make it a bit less epilepsy-inducing soon)

Feel free to give our current testing build a go!

I've been on a vacation last week, but now I'm back and kickin' with my team once again. One of the things we've done is added a background, so now it's a matter of doing some visual polish to make it feel even more natural as a paralax background. Also, now the character finally have some hitstun and a reaction to getting hit. (yes, the placeholder voice is Heathcliff)

Another important thing is now we have a working boss, which you'll be able to fight in our next build which I'll post sometime soon! :D

New environment, background concept!

Second half of the level no longer looks like a barren wasteland(it still kind of does) but we've been working on the props for background and a tileset to wrap the level up.

Background concept is moving along, our second artist has been working on things to fill out the empty space in our BG, so things are going to look pretty put-together soon! Boss concept

You know i kind of realized that i should be posting dev logs and whatnot when I'm working, so here I am lmao I've been working on a simple platformer slasher/shooter game with a few of my mates as our semestral work, Bloody Paws. Last week, i've done an overhaul of the melee system to have a combo and a dash to make the gameplay more engaging and combat more rewarding.

New character i had to devise for a roleplay: Yulan, Wang Family servant. Sort of retired grade 1 fixer making a living as bodyguard and maid at Wang of the four houses. Effloresced E.G.O.: Dragon Turtle
