and now for a mini update
I'm finally done with the ending - it's the longest ending I ever made for a game
but also feels really cheap..
it's kind of weird how much work was put into this game overall and it still feels cheap 🤔
(let this be a lesson to you kids: hard work doesn't lead to success - but I 'm getting ahead of myself)
anyway .. what is left is more refinement for the levels
they are all pretty much finished but could use more secret areas:
- there are not enough walls that can be destroyed by explosives I feel
- also there is a mysterious helper who helps you all through the game who is leaving messages for you
(and that is also how all the supplies lying around is explained)
I only need to actually hide these messages about otherwise the ending will just seem silly
(there is a big reveal about who is it)
now let me tell you - posing a low poly character around is not as easy as it looks:
Zortch may be ready for her closeup but her textures are certainly aren't
.. oh well that is programmer graphics for you
also some videos:
did I mention there are water sections in the game? and there are fish? and they are called piranha sharks? good thing they prefer fast food..
and another gameplay video:
and for my usual broken record moment: be sure to try out ZortchTest! (and comment about what you didn't like in it)
