Hi and thanks for joining me in this first devlog! This video is a short introduction to the videogame I'm working on. I also show my process of implementing some drones and a big robot.

good job

Instead of shooting the leg, you could add an explosive weapon or explosive ammo to the standard gun so you can explode the legs. Also, nice video!

u definitely shoulddownload the latest version of blender... else good job

[@Altair8113]

The game seems very cool. Maybe you could give some incentive to players for them to switch between modes (e.g. temporary move speed boost when switched to 4-legs, temporary armor when switched to shooter).

Love the aesthetics of this! I think it would be a fun idea to make the robot legs a little "snappier" when they take steps, and intentionally try to crush you as they walk (in addition to the laser threat). That would add a whole new dynamic to the game.

[@mohammadazad8350]

and it should use its legs to attack the player and maybe even grab them and throw them into orbit

[@Codeer]

Thank you! Yeah that would be awesome, I'll need to figure out a way to have the legs target the player without breaking the walk pattern.

[@meandmythoughts2860]

@@Codeer just an idea. Maybe you can make another leg exclusively to grab or/and smash the player. It could be always there like the legs and just attack every x seconds, or it could be like another type of proyectile that goes to the player and if it hits it grabs. Then after the attack it goes back into the robot. Idk if I explained clearly, hopefully I did.

please introduce the ability to ride the small drones after hacking them with an item that drops from the spider boss. this new ability to hack the drones and fly them would allow you to access new areas. Also I have an idea for a second boss that is basically a kind of robot armadillo that would drop an item when defeated that acts like an environmental shield allowing you to access areas that would normally kill you, volcanic area, ice caves, irradiated wasteland. that sort of thing. anyways I wish you luck. hope all these ideas people are giving you in the comments helps in your creative process.

[@Sam-zu8vo]

I love your logic for your game creation. Extremely creative and free.

[@killshotairsoft2]

I have found that, with a unique idea, you should focus your game entirely around that idea. Being able to climb up obstacles and enemies in the manner that you created is quite unique and your game should center around it. Instead of simply being able to shoot out the spider's legs to destroy it, you should have to climb up each leg and destroy them individually. Furthermore, the spider should have traps and defenses that make it difficult to safely climb up each leg. Maybe there are bombs on his legs that get triggered through contact or maybe there's a defense where some legs get destroyed spontaneously when you get near the top, making you fall to your death (kind of like a salamander's tail). By taking this approach, you avoid creating a game that everyone, one way or another, has already played before.

[@HaydenTheEeeeeeeeevilEukaryote]

I agree with this, the spider mechanic looks really cool and I hope to see it used extensively

[@snakebae6259]

Thats quite interesting actually, making giant bosses and making the player deal with them with their small size. Maybe a giant boss that cant be destroyed with guns that you have to climb into its "belly" and fight smaller enemies inside the giant boss then flip some levers or plant a bomb to destroy the boss, sort of like a mini-arena.

[@VergilBratwurst918]

@@snakebae6259 Like the divine beasts in botw?

[@leeroymlg4692]

the boss should have some sort of shield to prevent shooting, and you have to climb on top of it without getting knocked off to disable the shield and then you climb down and shoot the legs off

i think a fun thing to implement would be flying climbable enemies, so you can like go on top of one giant robot spider and leap onto a flying enemy to kill it, and then you can pull a nasty jump to hop onto another enemy, whether it be a flying enemy or another ground enemy.

[@SaltCane]

You should add something that both encourages and discourages climbing onto giant robots like the one in the video. Because it seems like the giant robot in the video lacks the ability to deal with a player if they decide to climb onto it, while at the same time you shouldn't completely discourage climbing into it because it is the whole focus of the game.

[@Codeer]

Thanks for the feedback! Yes you're right! The robot can't do much once you're climbing it, though that's what the drones are for. When climbing you're super vulnurable to the drone attacks.

[@SaltCane]

@@Codeer Ah yeah, true. But I also realized that you could possibly use the giant robot's base as really good cover for avoiding the incoming fire from the circling drones.

[@anasheoaki]

Maybe saw like blades or tentacles come out

[@frostyface8877]

Maybe add spikes or lasers on the arms. Turn it into a mini puzzle and if you can get to the top you can make a critical hit or disarming it for a few seconds. The first incredible movie had a well designed 4 legged drone that would be a good refence to analyze.
