Seven Minute Shadow - Devlog 4

Progress

Been busy. I adjusted the mailman cutscene and finally got the core loop feeling like an actual game instead of a bunch of separate pieces.

The minigame

I fixed the heart subtraction system, so messing up now actually costs a life. I also added the proper fail states so the minigame knows when you’ve lost.

I also made a general Level Info scene that can be shown before each minigame. It displays your lives, timer and a short instruction so you know what you’re supposed to do before starting.

Scope

For the first playable version, I’m aiming to finish 2 minigames.

The full idea is 7 minigames, all connected by the story and narration. I want to spend more time on that side as I continue, although I probably make it sound more grand than it actually is.

More to come.
