I like the new character, as well. I think it makes him look different - maybe Dusty's right, though. Maybe if he's lighting something up, for example, he can turn completely opaque. Anyway, great work!

I like the robotic/bulb look of the new character- it offsets with the shadow-spirit thing more-so now.

Yeah I agree. I've made the filament in the middle brighter in game and applied a glow (accidentally to his whole body); it's looking better but I think the bulb part should glow and be more opaque as you said. It's so fiddly trying to get it to look right Cheers for the comments guys! EDIT: May as well show you what I'm at with it currently:

Super duper!
I'm not sure about the pixel on his right leg (north east of his foot). It looks a little odd with the grey pixel directly above.

Aha, I keep forgetting to change that, thanks for reminding me! I think I accidentally made the normal on that one pixel directly downwards or something EDIT: Fixed it:

Feels like ages since I posted anything - here's some vines: I'm off work ill at the moment so took the chance to get the vines mapped out a bit better than I had them + polished up the art for them.

Perhaps once you feel better you should "be sick" for a few more days... NICE VINES BTW.

"a boy and his shadow", if I correctly guessed from your page 1 video ... great concept.

Nice vines. I was thinking that it would be cool if you had little dust particles floating about - that might help out ambiance, especially with the lighting system.

There is actually already dust particles floating around in the air Solar Pretty tough to see on youtube vids though. But also on that same note, probably gonna make dust come off the floor as you walk too but not got round to it yet - along with this I'm gonna have different sounds for materials you stand on, figured it'd be easier to do the particles after the sound bit (no concept of materials implemented in game yet). Cheers Thanks PypeBros Thanks Seagaia, even though I've been sick for a few days (all weekend too) I pretty much carried on with game development, it's just 'real' work I avoided probably back to the dayjob grind tomorrow though.

It is good to see some additional colors. Since the vines are green you may want to change the chest color (red? gold?) for some contrast. Or did you intentionally make them the same color for some reason?
Regardless, looking good! I always am pleased to see this pop up at the top of the devlogs with updates.

God this is looking so bloody good. I really like the greys + accent colour. Maybe have a different accent for light/dark characters? Could be useful for extras puzzles, such as making it hard for one character to see platforms while the other can.

I like the vines too, although the green looks a bit too artificial. Have you tried more of a bluish or yellowish tint to it?

Could be useful for extras puzzles, such as making it hard for one character to see platforms while the other can. Thanks, the light and dark chars actually have different colour impacts on the world, shadow being a pure grey scale on the base world while the light version has a palette applied The difference is subtle, but easier to notice in game when you make the switch. I like the vines too, although the green looks a bit too artificial. Have you tried more of a bluish or yellowish tint to it?
Cheers for the feedback - I agree, the colour seems a tad off in that pic. I've had a play with the saturation and contrast on the vines and got it a little nicer. Still work to be done with this scene but it's a lot nicer than it was this morning now Thanks for all the feedback guys EDIT: Some images aren't appearing for me at the moment, all hosted via drop box so if you can't see them either it's a problem on their end or I've boned my usage limits DOUBLE EDIT: Here's another shot -

I'll put up a new vid soon, I'm gonna demo part of the game at a jam in about 2 weeks and get some feedback before that though. Specifically wanting to get opinions on this scene I'm showing screen shots of at the moment in full animation.

This grass is very good, in general the atmosphere is very good, however I think something does not fit the character, the character off light, perhaps could give another meaning to the light, for example could be a man in a state of depression the light indicates the hope out of it, the light may decrease and thus their hope, so the difficulty would increase, this would indicate that the character is losing hope and progress becomes more difficult.
Although perhaps involves a redesign of many sections of your program.
Well, maybe something you can serve the idea.
