SEASON ISLAND DEVELOPMENT UPDATE [September 15th 2023]


Fall is right around the corner!! With new seasons comes Season Island news! 

While the game is far from being finished, I’d say a lot of progress has been made. Overall, I’m trying to make the game as fun as possible while keeping it simple and intuitive. A lot of the code is being reworked as well (I’ve been working really hard on that…)


Yum yum! Fall is the best season to eat popsicles!

New visual effects

While playing through level 1 (Spring’s Paradise), I noticed the area felt a little too bland for my taste. That is why I’ve decided to add little special effects throughout the game! I think it makes it feel more magical.


New enemies

Puffinu has been designing more enemies for Season Island. Since they were so cool, I decided to use as many of them as possible! The tough thing is to make creative bullet patterns for all of these enemies…

Unused content

A few assets couldn’t make it to the current build of the game. There’s a song I was going to use for a village, but I quickly realized it sounded too orchestral. The current song is much more fitting, but I still wanted to share the old one.

Bosses

Season Island wouldn’t be the action-RPG it is without a few fights! Currently, every boss fight makes the DEMO’s boss feel like a prototype (in fact, everything has been so polished it makes the demo look like a prototype!!). In other terms, they’re more engaging! I’m making sure every boss has a unique quirk to it. For example, the 2nd boss uses a phone as a defense mechanism.


Progress

Spring: 99.999%

Summer: 99.999%

Fall: 89%

Winter: 1%

Thank you to everyone who has played the DEMO so far! I can assure you that the current build of the game is a lot better than that. In pretty much every single aspect.


Yours truly,
