Hrm. I'm not sure I like the gradient on the lava, it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the crisp pixels.
Maybe try toning it down a little, or replacing it with a dither?
I've avoided gradients most of my life and now I'm acting out like some muzzled adolescent discovering sex for the first time. Gradients everywhere!... I may tone it down we'll see.
This is amazing man, really enjoyed the original cant wait for this
dude i played the original all day at work over the summer. yes
Always happy to contribute to the downfall of work ethic.
Just visiting to say thank you for the original and looking forward to playing the new version. It looks fabulous already!
I do wonder if it will be harder than the original though. Some people found it too easy but for me it was just right.
You're welcome! and Thanks. I've heard the first was too hard but I rarely hear it was too easy. I think you'll find a little bit of both difficulties in this one, but expect to mostly suffer.
Devlog 04It's been mostly menus and backgrounds since we last talked. Here's an example of one of the backgrounds:
and since the colors are a bit messed up in the gif, have a png:
hmmm, part of me kinda likes the .gif color fuck more... HMMMM
Each background is pretty different so far, but most use the mode7 effect in one way or another. Because mode7 is the greatest.
My favourite so far which I'm not showing until it's done is essentially the time vortex from Doctor Who.
