Seven Minute Shadow - devlog 3

😪

Made some solid progress over the last two days. Got player movement working and set up an exit point.

The big hurdle was getting the cutscenes sorted out. I managed to build the first part in 3D which i updated in the previous devlog.

I then finished the 2D cutscene sequence, added dialogue, and built a transition from the 3D scene into the 2D world. Had to do some tweaking to get the animation speeds to line up with the dialogue text pacing.

Also started putting the actual game world together. Built a tilemap and got a basic environment laid out. Added a mailman character, hooked up his sprite animations and got him walking around.

Next up is building a specific cutscene and minigame centered around the mailman.

A note on the art: a lot of the sprites right now are placeholders.

Finding good, free-licensed assets is a pain. But its fine since they are only placeholders anyway. The ones I’m using now are okay for a demo, but I’m planning to buy some better asset packs later to polish it up. Most of em I made, like the post box. Music will also be added way later down the line. 🎶
