Some Details
This month I did quite a bit of work to improve the gramfix of Weiss by adding a variety of effects, like splashes when walking and landing, enemies burning up on death, sparks on hits, improving the look of the bloom effect, and adding in two gameplay elements with their own unique effects.
There's still a few gameplay elements left to add, like switches, doors, and interactables. Once I've got those together I can build a first "vertical slice" level that includes all the mechanical elements except for actually detailed combat.
I did do a little bit to improve the combat feel this month as well, but there's still a lot left to be done for that, especially in regards to an actual enemy design and AI. As it stands there's only these punching bags you can beat around.
But, I have to say that I'm going back for another surgery next week on thursday. Fortunately this one will be a lot less involved than SRS was in July, so recovery won't be as long. Still, I'll be back in the hospital for three days, and I'm intending on at least taking the following week off to recuperate.
Still, even with that I'm pretty confident I'll be able to get the remaining mechanics in next month. I will also need to take some time to fix up the painting mechanic, since there's a few pretty glaring bugs with that that are in desperate need of fixing before I can do more with it. I have ideas on how to go about that, but obviously I don't know if they'll pan out.
Whatever the case, I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing and how things are progressing! And, just as a note, I've been so much happier since SRS, it even surprises me. I didn't expect the effect to be quite so dramatic, but it really is. It owns.
Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you have a good start into the new season!
— Love, Shinmera ❤️
