Sunday Post - Rusty Seas Alpha Update!
🕑 Added 2021-07-18 17:00:04 +0000 UTCIt's finally ready! Got the next release of the Rusty Seas alpha, and it's a doozy!
What's new:
- Intro and tutorial
- Dialogue system with puppets and voice noises
- 2 more levels
- Boss fight at Fashion Vixen Photoshoot
- Implemented Rustheaps as collectables, which show up in the warehouse when you get them
- End of level score screen, with high score system
- Quality of life fix that makes normal stages skip to the next wave if there's nothing left to collect and no enemies left to defeat.
- Feeling like a REAL GAME!
What's coming up next:
- Options features, including volume sliders and key rebinding
- Saving
- The return of Nymph as a miniboss in Crumpled Cornershop
- Usable items for powers and special attacks
- Shop system for items and outfits
- More conversations with Lalo, including the ability to call for advice
- Implementing more NPC's and dialogue, including Corner Fox.
- Music (going to look into putting together a 'demo reel' of the game and show it to the artist for the placeholder music I've been using on stream, and see if it's possible to work out a deal to use the tracks!)
Legitimately excited about this release, since I've been working on it for over a month and a half now. I'm going to ease up on Rusty Seas for a while to work on commissions before I get back to it full time. I'm stoked to see the characters actually express and converse now that I finally have a dialogue system, and... it's just starting to feel like a real game, y'know?
So thank yinz so much for supporting me while I continue to work on Rusty Seas! Expect plenty of art next week as I shift gears towards warm-up drawings and commissions!
Also: Don't hesitate to let me know of any bugs or breaks in the game at this stage. There may still be some rough edges on this alpha release, but I want to make certain what's there DOES work as it should. If anything is severe enough, I'll put up a patched version ASAP!

I've only played a short bit cause I've got a lot of things to do around the house, but I'm certainly gonna get on it soon.

I tried to tone back the difficulty on the Fashion Vixens by making health spawn between bosses if the player is below full health. I'm already gathering a list for a week 1 patch. If I get enough comments about the difficulty of that battle, I'll look into other ways to tweak it!

The game is great so far, but the boss fight gets kind of frustrating especially when they keep throwing the trash.
