DEVELOPMENT LOG 04

Welcome to the fourth development log for Boolantics, our roguelike-deckbuilder project.​

This log covers the work and developments that have taken course over the week starting 29th July. We've made good progress this week. Our technical designers have began implementing a save system, fixing bugs and reworking systems and our sound designer has been hard at work creatin experimental SFX.

OVERVIEW

On the technical side our designers have been ​have began implementing a save system, creating custom editors for a number of our game managers as well as fixing bugs with text in the shop and reworking the placement system for the gates.​

Audio development on the SFX has begun with our sound designer creating several experimental SFX options to be iterated upon.​

Visuals are being updated to fit our aim for a Windows 98/99 dark web aesthetic with key decisions on how features are displayed to the player being made.
​
We've also began looking into how we can best use the command text prompts to convey tips, prompts and narrative context to the player.
