The team has been a bit busy lately, but we did manage to start working on the full screen map - check it out!!

Aww yeah, look at that level transitioning.

Oops! Looks like we need to disable enemies from playing their death animations on load!

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone! We're currently working on improving the loading process between levels. Nothing to show just yet, but we're making great progress! 💪

Been doing some not too "showy" things, but we also smoothed out the zooming and resetting of the minimap!

#screenshotsaturday #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev #indegame

[Vingar @VingarGame]

Minimap icons implemented!

Oh yeah, the player's head sprite on the minimap now faces the same direction as the player's in-game😎💪

Another upgrade to the minimap! Now using a gradient when clearing the fog!

Also a unique item dropped when recording this today. Looks like Christmas came early - check it out!

Would it really be a minimap in an Action RPG if it didn't have fog of war?

He's the first look at the fog clearing away in our minimap as the player walks around!

Fog texture is a placeholder 😉

We've just started to work on the minimap! It's very much a wip, but we'll continue to share as we make further progress.

In the meantime, let us know what features you like to see in a minimap!

This week we've not only been making improvements to level gen, but also applying feedback on our HP and Mana orbs we shared last week.

Let us know your thoughts on the changes!

#screenshotsaturday #unity2d #indiedev #gamedev #indegame

[Vingar @VingarGame]

We've finally moved on from the white text for HP and Mana. We've now got some lovely orbs!😎

Let us know what you think!

The #UnityEngine runtime fee is really troubling for us, as we're not able to switch engines this far into development.

Even with the news we still managed to keep pushing forward and have a lovely shader to show off!

@Demilogic @johnriccitiello You mean @darthmorf and I shouldn't charge $5 per character creation in @VingarGame?

Seriously, thanks for being a great role model in this industry @Demilogic!

[Vingar @VingarGame]

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone! We don't have a particular teaser this week to share as we've been working on some optimizations and improvements to level generation.

We'll be happy to share more soon!

[Vingar @VingarGame]

Aww yeah! Check out that awesome death animation and sweet loot!

[Vingar @VingarGame]

Check out our level transitioning, and keep in mind if you descend into ruins from a cave entrance you better be well equipped!

This week's SS comes directly from a conversation we were having on Discord about lining up isometric tiles for level generation.

First image shows the end result, while second image shows the transition to the end.

We've got an impressive Death animation of the Minotaur to share with you this week done by @AnimatorAmir

💀💀💀

[Vingar @VingarGame]

It's been awhile in the works, and so we're very excited to give you the first look at the minotaur in-game!

Let us know what you think!
