v0.18 - Pickman's ModelLast time I've said I wanted to start the work on the last major addition to the game before the release but before that I've decided to try out how's it going on the AI art scene. So after endless nights of prompting I present to you the art update. The ingame icons were not changed but I added a lot of art for ingame events, difficulty selection and improvements. While working on it I also decided to add images to most of the pedia articles to illustrate the points. And then I added the main menu background art just for the fun of it. This led me to notice the lack of decent fonts in the game so I added these as well. There are now more appropriate default fonts plus there is a font selector in the options menu. I continued tweaking the visuals until I think I got it right now so here it is.
And after that was done, armed with the gajillion new art, I updated the store and library art as well. The woman on the cover is one of my two favorite images, I really dig how it turned out.
Changes:
- All-new event, difficulty selection, pedia and improvements art
- New ingame fonts and font selection in options
- Lots of small UI tweaks with fonts and colors
- Options do not need game restart now
- You can now throw money for a single-use temporary paralysis cloud
Fixes:
- Disabled keyboard HUD actions while any windows are open
[ 2024-10-22 20:48:58 CET ] [ Original post ] Parasite is a roguelike survival horror game about possession set in a modern-day setting. Currently in development, each session is set to be medium length (around 2-3 hours to complete). The game is fully completable to the end but needs GUI work, balancing and polish.
Current features include:
- A whole generated modern-day city to explore and survive in.
- A single story scenario that starts with the main protagonist alone, scared, and without any memories in a hostile human world.
- Possession mechanics that is crucial to the player's survival (see, you just die very fast without a host).
- Robust host inventory, skills and knowledge system.
- Player evolution unlocking new improvements and body features for the possessed hosts.
- Building and improving habitats to rest and recuperate.
- Separate difficulty settings for all key parts of the game that will be prompted organically during its course.
- Event timeline investigation to piece together both what has happened before and what to do next.
- A dangerous and proactive group of opponents that is tasked with finding and destroying threats to humanity (you).
Parasite has been in sporadic development since 2016, with 2022 being the year I decided to devote my full attention to making it release-worthy on Steam. I'm quite proud of the way the game has evolved so far and I believe my original vision will finally be achieved.MINIMAL SETUP- OS: SteamOS 3 or Ubuntu 16
