Yeah, it is a valid concern for sure. That's why there will be teleporters dispersed around the map, which is something I forgot to mention because it isn't implemented yet it should make traversing the map easier. Also note that the goal room isn't a boss room, you can safely enter in there, notice that is the end of the level and go back to keep killing stuff and looting.

However visual hints indicating the main path is an awesome idea and will for sire try it, thanks!

After successfully porting the level generation to the game, now I'm focusing on level art design. I'm just a mere programmer so at the moment I'm struggling to produce a nice-looking room and defining the overall tone.





What do you guys think?

I love your quick camera shake during explosions. It's not too crazy but it really makes you feel the impact. So cool

Thanks! Achieving a good game feel is my primary goal so really happy you like the path I'm taking!

Last week I've been working on more level design, here are some screenshots:

Continuing the effort on redesigning the game. This time: a new enemy!



Temporal codename is "Spinner", although I want to have named enemies for the game lore, so ideas are welcome here.

As always, feedback much much appreciated!

Pretty excited with the new dash system, where you have a limited number of charges that you can recover faster by shooting enemies.

Making the gameplay more frenetic and fun

Small tease of the (temporal) boss I'm working on:

So yesterday I tried to make a push to finish this kind of vertical slice on the boss fight. Lots of things hacked in, but 100% playable. I received some feedback from friends that played it and they liked it, so makes me hopeful

Some work on the particles, here is the player spawn:

Also added some lasers to spice up the gameplay.



Honestly, I'm still struggling to make this game fun, we'll see.

Also, combat + lasers.

Wow this looks so good! I could just imagine turning the lights off and watching the color show! If you guys haven't sorted the soundtrack out yet let me know I love doing sci-fi stuff and these are my favorite kinds of games 

[jg.camarasa]

Started to implement the skill tree! The player can unlock skills such as more dashes, more health or a dash explosion!

Check it out:



@joey4track: Thanks! Yeah, I haven't sorted the music out. Have different options on the table, but right now I have too much work to focus on that!

Refining the frenetic action!

[joey4track]

Love the lighting in this, watching the reflections on the floor

I'm enjoying these updates. Can't wait to play a demo!

[jg.camarasa]

Thanks for the comments guys! I was taking a break to decide how to go on, still trying to find the identity of the game. I'll slowly get there, I guess.

Right now I'm testing adding spells to the twin-stick gameplay. Introducing Ice Blast! What do you think?

[s_harriton]

That looks pretty sweet to me

[jg.camarasa]

Thanks s_harrington, really appreciate the feedback!

Also, changing the thread name to what seems to be the definite one, glad to introduce...

Dashing Juno!
