Terminal Spark

Luis has been doing some really nice work to make even more overgrowth assets for the North Ring. Should have some new gameplay gifs of this area up in the coming weeks.

We've started working on the North Ring overall look and medical bay assets. We'll be aiming for more overgrowth in the final design because this portion of the station is closest to the service of planet P130.

Here’s a really nice shot of the spider scene along with some webbing to make it look more appropriate.

Started messing around with ART in map mode. Glitch shader effect might be a bit much but shows the effect in the gif. We like the idea of the map being real-time, similar to the way Dead Space did their cool HUD.

I tried to do some normal map light tests with our blast site elevator sprite this morning. Not sure if we’ll go this route (asset changes required, etc.) but the effect sure is nice.

Today we were having some fun with the plasma grenade. So far the effect has been very satisfying.

Spent today getting the sprite explosions to be more configurable and to work with Adam shooting. So much more satisfying then clicking to cause the effect!

More rain testing today, muzzle flash - so much more satisfying to shoot!, and a nice texture color reader to create phyics bodies so we can create some nice sprite effects ;)

So today I was working on some cool stuff. I messed around with PolyNav2D to get a basic follow AI working for our robotic companion.

Also I tried my hand at a little pixel art haha. A concept for the companion in map and non-map mode. When in map mode, he splits into 4 pieces to present the display. John and I came up with the idea today and we think it's pretty cool.

Luis did some really nice work capturing Adam picking up a stuffed bear for our Abandoned Colony scene.
