Gem Domination 0.1 Devlog #2

Hello everyone! We are back with another devlog (The previous poll can be considered as a devlog on itself). This time we have a proper progress bar for you!

 

As you can see, sprites are the ones usually done faster, followed by locations and finally the scenes, which tend to take more time, especially now that we are going to animate them, and we are starting with the old ones, and the new scenes will be animated from the start. As so, we think that we will show you part of the progress in this devlog, one of the stuff in the progress chart. Since we are usually done with sprites first, we will be showing them to you.

And I know a lot of people love her, so here she is Kiki!

 

Kiki is definitively waifu material, or someone you want to have as a very obedient slave at the very least. Can you guess who's the other one done for next week?

In other aspects of the devlog, let's speak about the mini-game. As for the poll, it seems like most of you just want animations, which is perfectly fine. However, that doesn't mean we will not include a mini-game, but we will change our plans a little bit. To be more precise, the mini-game will be a bit more simple than we originally planned, and it is slightly different as well. You see, our original plans for the mini-game was a Touhou clone where you played as Steven, with relatively shorter stages and a mini-boss or boss at the end depending on who you were fighting.

 

I'm a big Touhou fan. Even though the first draft is not going to happen because of how complex it is, we will implement a "brick breaker" which seems fitting for a game like Steven universe, which will be divided by common stages and boss stages, very similar to the original 5 Touhou games, for those wondering. Of course, this is mostly a WIP since it's still being worked on and we are more focused on the main game stuff, such as scenes, progression (which is inevitably tied to the mini-game), etc.

That's most of it for now. The last announcement is something a lot of people have been asking for. I made some tests in ren'py, and although not perfect, Gem Domination will have an android port by the next release!

Stay tuned, everyone!
