AoA Weekly #13 - Delving deep into Dreams...

All the required levels for chapter 2, Stormbarrow, are finally finished. The levels this week took slightly longer than last week's levels, but we still managed to do it. It took a little longer, because these levels have some great extras in them. :)

Sprite work had continued this week as well - and Number 1 got a variety of new poses for his time in the dream worlds. The dreamer himself, Gelidisk, had some important sprites started. He was previously bed ridden, but the final two chapters call for him to find his legs.

With the required levels done, next week will be an added week of polish for the levels we have, and possibly, maybe sneaking in a few special ones. :)

Pretty soon, the gameplay implementation will start, and chapter 2 will be done. Despite a crazy year, we're making significant progress. Until next time!

On to what we did this week:

• Added the level Dream: Memories

  • A nostalgic, melancholy place with a single vending machine demanding a hefty price...

• Added the level Dream: Playground

  • You get your own home here, and can play outside. Make sure to go back home before dark or 'Mother' will be very angry with you...

• Added the level Dream: Glitch

  • This dream layer was never meant to exist, and an exhausted image works tirelessly to undo it. This alone drove the image mad.

• Brand new Dream: Nowhere

  • Yes, we've already remade a level from last week. Yes, it was worth it, as it now has a dynamic event and looks 10x better. I also made it over the course of 2 hours while watching a stream. :)

• Gelidisk sprites

  • Gelidisk proves his back isn't glued to that bed, and gains a walk, standing and sitting sprite! More to come for our dreamer.

• Number 1 sprites

  • Several sitting poses for our crazy FPC employee, and a walk cycle + a crazy sprite. He's a varied fellow.
