Discovery hi imdakine1, I loved the intro to some of the Kirby games as no text is used, but simply emotions! Tried to pull on those, life turned upside moment and no hope left! And somehow, from somewhere comes help!!!! So, this kind of on purpose, I encourage the gamer to loosen up and discover the game world too. So if something is there, it's there for a reason. That is the first level where you are given a power up. Jump on the small planet with the star in it those things will be no match for the shooting star you kinda feel sorry for them when you power up ;(
Agreed! This I exactly why real gamer feedback is gold to me! I have plans on paper for what could be added within the context of the star cat world. For example counting the number of jumps per levels and time it took to collect the star. Another easy one is to remove the aim line Will be branching out an android build this weekend. I think an android port is priority befor an update. That way any update will be for both versions. What do you think?
Intro You mentioned the intro. That was key for me to get the player prepared and be emotinallly attached to star cats situation. I made a full animatics for Protodome to score to and man did he capture the feeling of the scenario. I will post the animatic so you can see how it was directed frame by frame!
Intro Animatic Hi guys, Though this might be interesting everyone to see. This was the intro animatic/storyboard i created for Protodome to score on top of. Second by second, what an amazing capture of emotions by the Protodome! Really happy at how it turned out in the game! Salute ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiRMNZ39tpM&t=3s Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel [date animatic created : 7th april 2013] Protodome Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/protodome PS Whats the right code to embed this video? I tried but doesn't show =/
Star Cat Artwork Hello Guys, A lot of nice compliments about the artwork! making me feel all fuzzy inside I'd like to shed a little more light on them. I used a combination of photographs (took them myself) and then redesigning them to fit the level. for example, level 1, the water melons were from the local grocery shop and I placed the raspberries on a phone LED flash light and took a photo of it - oh yeah. the map screen bg is a half cut grape placed on a camera light! Will post the original photos soon.
Juicy Fruity Galaxy Watermelon Source This was the photo used for the watermelons in level 1. I warped it quite a bit and made lots of changes to remove the "hey that's a photo" look
The berry The juicy raspberry ~~ Shame about those cactus things growing out of them in the game hehe
My Favourite I was simply amazed at how a half cut grape looked on an LED light! Just had to use it in the map screen! It looked like there was a galaxy inside it! lol Amazing!
The correct watermelon angle It was this photo. The signature pattern was more interesting in this angle.
Really love this Dev Blog. Thanx for adding this on here. I love this game and how on point everything is. I also appreciate how much love went into this game

Final Boss Outtake This dude got taken out in favour of a demon robot Hopefully some of you have completed the game to see it? Anyway, I felt this design was too simplistic and wasn't edgy enough Good decision? Would love to know!
