Crescent Moon and movements tweaks - Added dynamic jumping for the player - New animations for the boss for the start of the battle and the second phase - General polish for the boss - The boss goes into rage mode when using gun now youtu.be/svSNEhHLatk #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Was I hinting at something with a previous post? Maybe, haha. #indiegame #gamedev #devlog

Concept art of the Crescent Moon. Initially, he was supposed to be completely stationary like in the prototype from 2018. Arena was also slightly different. #indiegame #gamedev #concept

Boss tweaks. - New animation for The Boss on start of the battle - General polish for the first boss - Camera looks higher on the second boss battle now - New intro for the level 2-E youtu.be/3IDHFvVnBg8 #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Recently I found out that some random site reuploaded my game, which you can play right there. I have nothing to do with it. How fun! The fact that the game was posted on web doesn't mean you can upload it anywhere. There's a ton of random itch io games on this site and it's equally as yucky.

Visual updates. - Added a star that opens the "Sputnitsa Dress Up" itch io page - Screen transitions are smoother now - New art in the gallery - Adjusted color pallets of the background elements youtu.be/0jgxSyJM5_Y #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

First post about Sputnik after Sputnitsa Dress Up was released. - Added all of the story scenes. - Scenes now played at the right moment, but only for the first time. youtu.be/OIZf5cl0crk #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Concept art of The Boss. Fun fact: I couldn't properly implement his attacks back when I started, so his behavior was completely different. #indiegame #gamedev #concept

"Sputnitsa Dress Up" is out! Play it now! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! itch io: gena-sealov.itch.io/sputnitsa-dr... Newgrounds: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/... #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

"Sputnitsa Dress Up" is coming out soon! The game would be available on both Itch io and #Newgrounds! Took me 3 weeks in total. I have nothing more to say, so stay tuned! #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

More general additions! - Added 3 new clothes sets. - Earn stars for picking specific sets of clothing. Once you have them unlocked, click on the star to choose that set! - Added sounds and simple animations for the arrows. youtu.be/1bdAhArpeAY #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

The first look at "Sputnitsa Dress Up" :D Really bare bones for now, but it works perfectly as intended. I wanted to make a dress up game for a long time. Why? Nostalgic, I guess. And making small finished games is good practice. youtu.be/IsrllhPnSlI #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

A drawing of Sputnitsa (non-canon humanization of Sputnik) for a new small project I'm working on. More details about it later! (This project won't affect the development of the main game. Just a small distraction to prevent burning out). #indiegame #gamedev #devlog

A new menu and story scenes! - Main menu got a little overhaul and now includes a "controls" button. - Russian localization is now in progress! - Implemented new reworked story scenes. - Fluff is now properly implemented on the levels. youtu.be/Bj0dPle9FlY #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Finished fluff and performance optimization! - Fluff! It can be used to attack enemies (didn't put it on the levels properly yet). - Recolored sprites for trees and sticks for consistency. - Lots of performance optimization. youtu.be/_lJSzLDRzpM #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Messing around with the flying fluff in the second world (placeholders for now) :D I'm trying to fill the gaps between big updates with smaller, less serious posts. Hope it helps! #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Concept sketches for a sliding rock and fluff, which will return soon! These are meant as an alternative to meteors in the first world, allowing to attack enemies with them. #indiegame #gamedev #concept

Concept sketches of the story scenes for the game. I'm not quite satisfied with the current finished scenes, so I'm looking forward to fully rework them to be drawn on paper. Sharing the outcome later! #indiegame #gamedev #concept

New interactable objects on the levels! - Explosive meteors. They spawn randomly next to the existing meteors and go BOOM on impact. - Bubbles. They contain power-ups and even weapons. - Bullet sprites are now bigger. youtu.be/Tx18L18bd7s #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Boss reworks and more movement changes! - both bosses have been reworked to behave more predictable now - player movement in the second world was changed to be faster and less floaty - new sounds and effects for enemies and bosses youtu.be/eHl1r2nMglk #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3

Intro scene for the first world "Lonely Space". Tried to experiment with backgrounds this time! #indiegame #gamedev #devlog

Concepts of the levels in the second world. They're pretty recognizable even in this state. Some unnecessary elements like the lever with hidden platforms were removed to not overcomplicate the level designs. #indiegame #gamedev #concept

Concept art of the secret boss. The character design is not mine, I just adapted it for the game's artstyle. #indiegame #gamedev

Intro scene for my game! It won't play by itself in-game like shown on GIF. Still need some time to properly implement it. #indiegame #gamedev #devlog

Really early concept art of the shop for the game. It was planned from the start, but was added only recently lol. You can see an antenna and a scroll in the shop, which were planned as weapons, but got repurposed/scrapped in result. #indiegame #gamedev

More shop items and new game update. - added button controls on map and story scenes - a stick was added to the shop - if both weapons are equipped they appear near the player instead of hands(?) - shop items need to be unlocked first youtu.be/HpmPhU4UAJs #indiegame #gamedev #devlog #construct3
