This week's screenshot one again shows progress on a level of the Ossuary Moon:
Naturally, the week just past remained primarily a level-building week:
Of that level-building, the main of the week's work was given to the level that I believe that I showed a bare start to in last week's blog post.
This is the "Hall of the Ancients", a place within the Ossuary Moon where are found bones so old that they're stony fossils. Naturally, the skeleton-enemies familiar from the other regions of the Ossuary Moon are then absent here, replaced instead by the remains of prehistoric creatures.
And it's a little different to other parts of the moon in its gameplay, too: there are few placed spawners here--instead, enemies are spawned procedurally from the walls, creating (I hope!) a continuing pressure on the player.
As to the progress of the level's building, I believe in fact that I have its first draft done! Well, as far as it goes in the demo, at least: it's not intended to be present there in its fullness.
To be more specific, I have the level laid out and textured; I have lighting applied; I have room-covers set; I have enemy logic in place; and I even have a simple mini-boss spawning.
And with that first draft complete, I've once again moved on to the next level.
This is the region of the Ossuary Moon named the "Dismal Halls": a place of plain, darkened-bone floors and ranks of skulls along the walls.
It's also intended to be the lairing-place for the liche boss.
This level is not yet done, even in its first draft, but some progress has been made: I have the overall look-and-feel done, I think, as well as a start to some rooms.
Said level, by the way, may well be the final that's to be drafted for the demo! (There's one more that I have in mind, but currently think to omit.)
And once again, there were various tweaks, fixes, and changes enacted in the week just past that don't seem worth detailing here!
That then is all for this week--stay well, and thank you for reading! ^_^
