hi guys welcome to my indie game development channel in this video I will
share the progress of this week and let's get started
hello everyone.this Lee welcome to my devlog number 32 for the people who are
new to this channel I'm working on fantasy turn-based strategy game named
under Slayer I upload weekly dev vlog and share the progress i will also
share the thoughts resource and tips during the game development even
interesting seeing how the game is created and improved make sure you click
subscribe button and turn on the bell in last video I added some new enemies skeleton
archers and skeleton Bomberman and I also added some damage effect to the tower
to make it look a bit more fun thanks for all the comments feedback in
suggestions I really appreciate it it made me feel I'm not making this game
alone I would like to pick one of the comments from ZeroTris that's a very
good idea to introduce multiple levels into the game so in this week I will
give a try
when people need to move between different floors normally we use stairs
or ladders ok maybe not all the people you may have seen these in many games
once the character climb up ladder we can explore more area and I'm going to put
this feature into the game please stick to the end of this video I will show you
how implement is step by step i think it would be more fun to see the character
climb the ladder up and down for turn-based strategy game it's not just
expend the map if you also provide more strategy options to the player for
example if the character stands on the high floor which means that attack range
would be increased as well then he can attack some enemies from longer distance
first I need to make sure the character can move vertically so far most
of units fight on the same level I have to update a script to cater for
this change as we certainly don't want this happens
after fixing the scripts I can see the character can move correctly
step two then we need to add the ladder to the tower simply adjust the position
and scale and make it fit into the scene
next we can see the character move up to the tower but the animation doesn't
look right as we want to see some climbing movements instead of running
animation in order to achieve this I set up a slider for the ladder and also at a
ladder script it is mainly to trigger the right animation one tip here is to
make it look smooth we can combine some animation together it did take me some
time to try out different approaches in settings just need to be patient here I
guess and animation looks okay now we can still do more polish later but
now it is good enough to move on
as mentioned before the attack range should be increased as well and you may
know I use the circle on the ground to indicate attack range in the game which
means I need to update the scale accordingly we don't want the circle
moved with the character like this
and we also wanted to rescale the circle when the corrector climb on the
top thanks for the wise front Twin by the
way if you have any suggestions and feedback for this game make sure you
join my discord server the link can be found in the description below now
that's how it looks like
after that to make the player discover this new mechanic I just set up two
skeleton arches which cannot be attacked directly as they are too far away from
the player in order to reach them the player need to climb up the ladder and
you see the attack range get increased now we can attack the enemy successfully
in Dungeon Slayer the play don't need to defeat all the enemies for example if
the player choose to ignore two archer enemies then they don't really
need to climb up the ladders as I'd like to encourage the player made their own
decision how to pass the level I also use some other mechanic to make a game
more fun instead of battling all the time you can hit a link on the corner
for more details I really enjoy playing this game with this new climbable
towers and it can extend easily to build up some multiple floors as well question
of this week do you think these climbable features make the game more fun
make sure you leave the comment below if you have any thoughts to make game more
interesting please share your thoughts as well again thanks for watching hope
