I feel like ive watched a devlog about this a long time ago about rotation of the character or something, i found it very interesting, so im confused how devlog 0 came out 2 weeks ago..... lol Ok if i waiting for the ad to end it would of been explained... hahaa

Idea: instead of making items float near you, they actually gravitate to you, like the gravity points

Really thought that said astarion and thought that was astarion and shadowheart on the thumbnail

love the minimalist look of the game now, the project definitely looks awesome

Wait, you're using Bevy now? Welcome to the club!

Reminds me of a crashh test dummy

make gravity assists because that would be really fun

Yeah! I can play this on an SD CRT TV then.

What tool you use to animation your code in video?

Pixel fog is damn beautiful

The skull emoji reaction on the speedrun 💀😂

Cool to see you doing devlogs again! You're one of the main reasons I started making my own!

Hell yeah

Looking much better now

I'm glad you've come back to the game. It looks brilliant, and I especially like how you've added a variety of mechanics in now. Good luck with the project!

Can anyone please share a tutorial video playlist or a creator to make a game like this in unity

exciting!

Does this cap sprite sizes to 225x225 since the lookup can't reference an red/green value greater? Or could you somehow multiply them by the blue value to access a greater range?

This is so amazing!!!!

Holy hell he's back

so sweet ❤

I may as well mention, I did love the old video style where the game dev was just a playground for whatever you were interested in making a video about. But congrats on making real progress, I'm looking forward to seeing more of the levels take shape.

The visual style is so strong, it's amazing how some simple conventions make everything feel cohesive.

Bevy is a good choice. It was something I considered. I want to have first-class modding support (because it has even benefits for regular development), and that seems to be difficult to do at the moment in rust. That's pretty much all it came down to for me. There are work arounds with things like web assembly and lua or whatever, but it ends up forcing you to push that stuff through a C-API at some point, which seems like busy work to me. Also I realized that my goal of producing a finished game is not the part that is most exciting to me. I like the DIY spirit, and I am very opinionated about software, so I want to do a lot of it myself. and for me the journey is more fun than the idea of finishing it. Getting away from Unity is probably a win.

eyyyyy astortion is back

you should check out elypse if you want some inspiration regarding movement mechanics and how variety supports fun movement

low res lesbians <3

Yay! You are finally back! I learned a lot about rendering from you :)

Awesome stuff cooking, best of luck!

Always happy to see some more Astortion!

Aside from the gameplay changes, the UI changes really had a big impact on the feel of everything I think. It's really starting to feel like a uniquely "aarthificial" game

I've never quite been big brained enough to follow most of these devlogs (you're doing some really clever stuff), but I do know animation and just- generally holy heck? The character acting you pull off with these itty bitty guys is nuts

Looking forward to playing the full game !!

I like the UI of the menu and settings looks clean

the colors and new surfaces remind me a lot of N+ If you've never played it id recommend checking it out, if just for the cool robot designs!

I'm glad that you did not gave up! The new version already starting to look nice. Please share more pixel magic!

This game reminded me a lot of Dandara, a metroidvania that you only move through the scenarios jumping and using other mechanics just like Astortion. The only difference is that in Dandara you can't walk.

new logo is great btw

I'm very interested in what you've built the new UI on, hopefully there' will be a deeper dive up ahead

Love the art

Having strong effort on testing shows that youre actually true valve fan :^D Im making a game myself and planning to test every single aspect of it to make near-perfect. Hope you do too. Good luck man.

Yessss, more Astortion!

5:54 I hope these two kiss <3

It's so inspiring seeing you still in development of this game, I think if you go for a metroidvenia type game maybe try to make it kinda-linear like hollow knight where you can go to like 3 different things in the beginning and from there it's sort of linear. Anyways, this series is amazing and I totally would've subscripted to the Patreon if I could! Maybe when I return home ❤

Hooked to see how the hot reloading works, it's such a game changer, and I'm intrigued in the technical side of it.

oh my god hes not dead

I noticed that the player character doesn't jump in your streams. Will there ever be a dedicated jump button? It feels odd not to have one in a platformer.

these new movement elements already look far more fun and satisfying to play with than the old systems, very exciting to see where this goes

Gives me a tone of nostalgia to N+. A big focus on keeping momentum in level design is key.
