Alas,Alone. Devlog #1

Prototype v.1 :

the project just started :) so exciting!!!

#updatelog

added raycasting render added playermovement added player hands (offhand, mainhand) added aiming for the mainhand added collisions added dash (Magic cast #1) added animations

This is the first prototype of my new game, Alas,Alone (temporary name)… Alas,Alone is heavily inspired by wolfenstein 3d, it also uses a very similar rendering technique: raycast rendering, this is the older, slower brother of a dda raycaster. Because we have really strong machines nowdays, using the faster algorithm barely affects the performance of the game.

The game will be openworld, hopefully full of secrets and dialogues.. this is yet to be decided! as for now - im focusing on polishing the movement, making art for the game and figuring enemies outtttt

talking about art, making art for this game has been really fun until now :3 i basically took photos of my hand holding a 1911 airsoft gun (fake gun) grayscaled it, downscaled it and corrected it.

here is the sprites for hipfiring shooting animation:

the main (special?) mechanic of the game will be the offhand, which will let the player use his special abilities. so far dash,heal and petrify are planned - there may be more in the future, its yet to be decided

this is meant to remain an opensource project, as i dont think i make games of such high quality to the point they are worth selling. when the first alpha release of the game happens, i will publish the code and project for the game :)

if you are curious about the game or just want to chat you can comment anywhere on my itch stuff and we can then either talk on discord or email or on itch or blabla.., you decide :3

thank you for reading, baii<3
