Bad day.
Have a #screenshotsaturday nevertheless.

I think I finally nailed the look for the "void" material, which also works with water and reflections now, but still: look, don't touch!

This week I improved the performance of the bloom shader by nearly 20% so it's time to test it with a new tileset.
This white rock is so bright that some of its pixels emit a light glow to give that blinding sunny feeling.

@UnrealEngine Something simple to add verticality to the levels.

You can't have a platformer without giant bouncy mushrooms.

I always wanted to add little ripples on the surface of water.
The next step is larger ripples when anything collides with the surface.

It's still a placeholder, but it should make the experience more enjoyable.

I had some time to redo my screen fade shaders and add a few tricks. #screenshotsaturday #UE4 #indiedev

[DarkStar @ShiningCrusader]

I've drawn the last missing animations for Joseph and I needed to see them in action. #screenshotsaturday #ue4 #indiedev #pixelart

[DarkStar @ShiningCrusader]

I tried to differentiate the dialogue sounds for each character, to give them more personality even without dubbing. #screenshotsaturday #ue4 #indiedev

[DarkStar @ShiningCrusader]

The content for the demo is now complete and you can play it start-to-finish. It still needs music and sounds though.

Some more screenshots from the first few rooms of the demo. Keeping a good color separation between background and foreground is essential. #screenshotsaturday #UE4 #indiedev #pixelart
