Hi hello, its the FIRST of the month again so its time for another devlog!! Like previously stated, devlogs are bi-monthyly now so the next one will be all the way in February next year. These 2 months of development have been split between Mik and my new game which started out as a project for GithubGameOff2024 gamejam. Both because of overscoping and me being busy with exams, I sadly could not finish the game in time for the submission deadline. Its not all bad news tho, more on that later tho!

Level Design

Like the previous months, level design has been once again the main priority. The introduction level was basically finished, although I decided to expand the very first part with more gameplay since the area took ages to create so I dont want it to go to waste. Maybe itll appear again in a later part of the game. All the areas in the previous devlogs are now decorated! Anyways, Ill let the images speak for themselves:

New Object Collision system

The previous collision system for objects (that have physics) has been expanded opon so now theres extra collision particles.

Optimisation

More optimisation! More optimisation! More optimisation!

Better level loading

Im currently implementing the "new" (the one I mentioned in one of the first devlogs) level loading logic for the first level to finally get ready for a cohesive and playable game! On top of that, the level loading system is getting expanded with the ability to also load and unload specific prefabs intead of entire scenes. This just means that the process is less complicated for me, and the game more optimised for you!

New game

Like I mentioned, half of my time was spent on creating a new game for a gamejam. Even tho because of exams and overscoping I didnt manage to finish the game in time, I am planning on continue development and release it on steam. (join discord for indev footage) More info following soon, but trust me, Its epic.

Thanks for reading another devlog!
