Played around with a new end level segment. Want the player to try and get as many hits on the chest before the last hit after a 5 second interval breaks it open. Prior to this it was just a very boring get to the end, player comes to a stop and it'd say AREA CLEAR! A bit of randomness, time limit and collection might make for a fun little end point!

Getting the artist on board seems so worth it, the new art looks great

Yeah it's helped me focus on level design and code work instead. Even though I'm still an artist at heart, it definitely slows me down!

Almost finished with the boss sprite for the second level, quite happy how this one turned out!

It's amazing how art can represent so many things in a single image, definitely worth having the artist.

Love the Beera design, it looks really cool and intimidating!

Well we thought we would have something on paper down by now but I'm not 100% on the design, for this week's indiedevhour we got a few pieces of concept arts for Brock's younger sister Angelika. We tried just about everything from cuter croc design, human and crocodile hybird, more reptilian looking sister and even a muscle bound one... One day we'll get her design stamped down haha!

Thank you! She's one we really liked working on, her design sort of gives off a cool flair but also looking like a tough enemy to take down, hopefully I can make the boss come off as cool as the sprite

Yeah we've been trying really hard at smear frames, they seem to work like a treat!

Some more animations for Xia-Yee when you're talking to her at the cafe.

#screenshotsaturday this week we've been busy giving Brock's friend Xia-Yee a bit more emotion when you interact together at the cafe. Be careful not to anger her or you may find pointy things embedded in you!

This is one chef you don't want to annoy.

Not a big update this week, been busy polishing gameplay stuff that are still half baked so far. Instead you get to see some lovely art instead of Brock and Xia-Yee!
