Art and SoundAdditions
Summary
Today was a fun game dev day where I was able to do a mix of gameplay adjustments, adding more art (background and ball of yarn), and adding music and sound effects. You are not able to hear the effects and music in the gif above, but I ended up going with a lofi beat track softly playing in the back and I recorded myself punching a stress ball for the sound effect of the cat tapping. Further, I think I finally got the gameplay and movement down so that it actually feels good and you don't feel like you are being cheated anymore. This game is actually pretty chill and fun to play now with the music/effects, gameplay, and art!
In the end I really like the scene I have in the background. I was able to generate the background by finding an picture online and making some adjustments of my own in Krita to get the effect and other little touches that I wanted. Similarly, the ball of yarn is a vector image downloaded online and I made some adjustments to allow myself to change the color of the ball if I would like. I am really happy with the progress I am making and hope to release a first version soon!
v0.1.0 Release
As I am having a lot of fun working on this project, I would like to continue development past October. Therefore, I will plan to release v0.1.0 by October 31st so I can submit it for the "One Game A Month" Game Jam, and then work for a few more weeks on the game to allow myself to submit the game to the apple and google play stores.
Still To be Added
- More Pawer Ups
- A start screen that allows you to input your player name
- The full leaderboard
- More cat and yarn skins (will be a nice to have if there is time)
