• Added a speed effect when sliding.

• Improved branch system.

• Enemies now die with smoke particles to avoid walking through them.

CURRENT STATUS
 

Last two months, I've worked on improving my code. I also added new gameplay elements and did a new system to create the levels faster and more efficiently.

Not a lot to show right now but the next updates will be more interesting for this devlog.

I didn't plan to work on it last week but I took the time to improve the characters topology, textures and animations.

• Worked on holes with landscape visibility masks, vertex offset and dithering for smooth transitions.

• Also added a tiny chef playing around in the world.

• Added confettis for checkpoint.

• We also worked on improving our materials (layers, parameters, reusabil…

This week we're working on animations, textures and particles.





 

Main characters concept art and rough in-game setup.

This week we analyse our level design practices in a very practical way. Also we make sure the flow is consistent and intuitive. The challenge here is to create organic levels (non grid-based levels), and make sure that the distances are correct etc..

On this picture below, you can see how we ba…

A quick summary of last week additions: (It's all about code - we didn't work on art and layout yet)

- added a checkpoint system
- added completion rules
- added levelstats
- fixing autosaves code
- plenty of bug fixes

Most of the levels use "on rails camera" with alternative paths. So we did the code for that.

The path is the red curve:

The player will automatically follows the closest path relative to his world location: 

Another feature we implemented is a jump boost at the end of th…

Last week we made a draft design document to visualize the global structure of the game. 


Because the levels are linear with a lot of verticality and the camera free, we are trying to find a good solution for the boundaries. Of course it will be heavily filled with environments deco but we want do…

A 3D platformer in the world of pastries.

Hello! After 4 months of work, it's time for us to start a devlog for our new project!
