Devlog #20 (Beware the Space Pirates) -- April 21, 2019

Hello Internets,

Here’s a rundown of some of the things I did this April.

Melish and Senpf

Created some new enemies for the game. They are part of the Space Pirates that you will often run up against. They are tougher than your usual breed of Pirate though.

It’s important to keep moving in this fight…

Devlog #19 (Double the Potamo == Double the Fun!) -- March 26, 2019

Here we go. March recap time! Without further ado.

  Wave Battle

I finished a bunch of work on the Wave Battle/Arena Battle system for Raygun Gadabout. It’ll be part of an arena station where you can go and fight different waves of enemies to win stuff. There’ll probably be some battle modifier…

Devlog #18 (Nuts and Bolts) -- February 18, 2019

Hello internet,

A huge portion of the changes/updates for this month are based off of the feedback I received last month during the small closed alpha. 

Level Revamps Planet 2

Revamped planet 02 and planet 04 (internal naming). Planet 2 was basically stripped of many elements (possibly to be use…

Devlog #17 (Alpha Test… in Space!) -- January 30, 2019

Here’s an update for the month of January.

Alpha Test

Opened up the current version of the game for some Alpha Testing on the Raygun Gadabout Discord.

I’ve been pretty nervous about this since I haven’t had the opportunity to have the game tested by people in quite some time. How’d it go?

Bugs bugs bu…

Devlog #15 (Save it! Boost it!) -- December 5th, 2018

Here’s an update for the month of December 2018.

Save/Load Game System

Built the bare bones of the save system. Things that can be saved so far:

  • Story beats

  • Inventory

  • Boss states (dead/alive)

  • Current planet

Probably the most difficult part was saving and loading the inventory, what I did was convert all …

Devlog #14 (Skills and Puzzles) -- November 6, 2018

Hello there! Let’s go right to it shall we.

Unlocks Rethink and Rethink Again

I’ve gone back and forth between how I wanted unlocks to work in the game. Going from a system of skills to recently considering a skill tree.

Above is kind of the direction I was going. The abilities and order are just pl…

The mechanic is first tested on some simple puzzles and simple enemies that …

Devlog #11 (Blast ‘Em) -- August 5th, 2018

Hey Cadets,

Hope you northern hemisphere folk are having a good summer. Here’s another monthly update on Raygun Gadabout. Hope you like it!

New Enemy

This is a Wokel.

This guy isn’t that dangerous, unless he touches you, probably because his skin is poison or maybe he gives incredibly strong hugs. Jus…
