Blu : Chronicles of Talpa changes
MULTIPLAYERS
So I spent these months improving the existing demo. The story content remains the same, but you can now play with your buddy if you have two controllers connected.
ORTHOGRAPHIC VIEW
In order to improve the viewing angle in couch-coop mode, the camera is now in orthographic mode. This had become necessary so that the two characters could move away from each other in order to fight different enemies. Otherwise there would have been angles of view where one of the characters could have been hidden behind an element of scenery.
Beyond that, I spent time to scale the elements of the background, so that they are adapted to this new projection.
CLIMBING SYSTEM
The climbing system has been redesigned. The animation has been redone, an auto grab system has been put in place to make it easier to get off the platforms, and some details have been tweaked.
BULLET TOWN & TOHAMA
Two new areas have been added to the last release, available for Kickstarter backers who have access to the Beta. These levels are a little "flat" at the moment, but they should take a little relief with the arrival of new platforms and new custom enemies.

TWEAKING & TUNING
A multitude of small details have also been fixed. Among other things :
The placement of the feet has been redone to adapt to the curves of the terrain; the character no longer slides on slopes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnr7mQBeMEA
Blu is now able to target the nearest enemy with her bow (at a predetermined angle) instead of foolishly shooting in front of her : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSCkHLfOFF4
There are 5 new NPCs to meet in the game, here's one of them : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7IctmrAyho
Also, I made a complete walkthrough of the new demo (no comments), for you to discover all the new stuff. You can watch it here :
