Oh! Those are clay! I admit my first thought (based off the "thumbnail") was it was a very angry muppet. But I like the clay effects

It never helps that the last little chunk is rarely big fun features and tends to be little incremental adjustments that require tedious testing and refinement.

Good luck on getting your full level completed! I look forward to seeing the final version.

Yay! Material based footsteps. Adds to that immersion! And helps with determining where enemies are when they are around corners!

Very fine parallaxing going on.

Not all the ideas it into Doomed Stars (or the update we are working on). Once thing that was cut was an idea for enemy heroes. We had some visual, but never designed AI for them.

In my continuing quest to improve the Drake’s visuals (despite subpar art skills) I redid some of the joint visuals. Adding some texture blending & some stretching effect to the main body.

The Drake has been difficult to balance. Test runs alternate from “die quickly” to “steamroll everything.” Our focus has been on tweaking max health & heal rates. It’s slow but we’re getting there.

As part of our controller implementation testing we got a virtual keyboard to pop up when you get a high score!
