LAZR - A Clothformer (tuxdb.com)

A new era of platforming is about to begin. Play as a fusion powered killer android, facing off against rogue AI and mega-corporations in Alpha City One, run by a central intelligence that will do anything to remain invisible and in control. Can you break the chain?
Key Features:

64 different types of loadouts allow you to customize your hero - from fully auto laser fire, to lighter and more acrobatic shells, to being immune to explosions - the choice is yours.
Massive single player adventure - explore various districts in a sprawling futuristic city, beautifully presented in a Mode7 style overworld map. From the seedy housing districts deep below the surface, to the printed, polished, and private floating corporate islands soaring through the sky.
Multiple inter-connected storylines - Contracts that you complete affect relations with other corporations in Alpha City One. You'll have to choose who to keep happy and who to work for to stay alive.
There's a Holographic Dog. Yes, you can pet it - you can even play fetch with it! Next level 2d dog AI ensures HoloDog always follows you and stays by your side. Good HoloDoggo!
Cloth - Lazr has been designed around never before seen realistic cloth simulations with full destruction. A completely new and unique type of game mechanic!
Unique Enemies - fantastic cloth based enemies and bosses will absolutely destroy you and leave you questioning deeply held beliefs such as "do I enjoy playing video games?". No, seriously, you're gonna die, alot. So get some bandaids for your thumbs and some tissues for your eyes - it's gonna be a hard journey to the top. Are you ready?

Lazr Dev Vlog Update #24

Hey Everyone,

This week was super busy, and I've made two videos that cover it all:

Here's a summarized list of what's been updated:

smoke was improved visually, and can be pushed around now.
smoke emitter was created.
clouds were fixed and are back in the game now.
while in fluid, smoke rises slower and ignores wind.
cluster levels 1 and 2 now have smoke emitting from pipes.
there is now a fps counter on screen, in addition to frametime.
particle system was refactored to be single threaded, due to
cache size limitations of psvita. psys was optimized as well.
lasers no longer produce debris.
a button pops on dialog screen upon input.
options menu screen was completed (for now).
frames per second counter was added, along with game timer.
cluster district art was updated.
mission select screen was completed.
title was redesigned and linked to mission select screen.
mission select screen links to cluster, bionic menagerie,
and war foundry districts, which load appropriate levels.
alpha city district created, title swapped to it.
mission review screen was added, zooms out of district screen
to reveal it, zooms back in too. part 1 and 2 produced.

So I've got an internal Alpha that I'm testing on different platforms, and getting prepared for players to test later, as a Beta. It's taken me a lot longer than I planned to get to this stage, so development is behind schedule a bit, but considering all that's happened (pandemic, category 5 hurricane), overall development is in a great spot. It took me a bit longer this week to make these videos, sorry for a Monday post! Hope you have a great week.
