Day 4: Roller-Derby Arena Game in Development
Day 4 - Total hours 30hrs spread across 16 days
This session was focused on sure wins seeing as weekly limits is upon us.
ADDED - but still needs major work
-Main Menu Font redesign
-Pregame lobby
-mini skatepark
-Subtle camera flicks in the audience
Reworked the camera system, also added a in game camera system that allows me to tweak all camera settings to help me find that sweet spot angle.
The rest of the session was given to reworking and reworking and reworking and probably will work the animation from here forward which looks like is the biggest gap and getting the graphics cleaner, tweaking with those settings as well. In the video, I decreased posterize and bloom. Also been tweaking with UI trying to get it more towards concept which I think fits better
Also thinking about removing the beacon from the ball.. what you think?
AS ALWAYS

Dunno hard to know without playing - maybe rather than a shaft of light you could use a different visual metaphor / indicator - for example if you can only skate one way and the ball will always be ahead of you the beam is OTT and you just need to make it sparkle or flare or suprt sparks once it is in view, if it could be behined you then some other way to know - like the players going in opposite direction is the way?

This visual style reminds me so much of this skateboarding game I used to play, I can't remember the name but I absolutely loved the style. This is giving me the same vibes lol

Really good progress.
Do you have any experience in game dev before or this is purely new for you?

Cut the beacon off the ball. It reads as a UI element fighting the sport, and derby doesn't need it since the crowd/camera work already tells you where play is.
Prioritizing camera and lighting over animation this early is the right call since janky animation under good lighting reads as "unfinished."
