Our “splash” screen art is finally done, and we think it looks awesome. Gabriel and Lais combined their powers and the results are amazing!
The artwork captures our game perfectly. UniKaos is a sporty action game with a bunch of interesting characters, with crazy powerful abilities, playing in 2v2 team matches in strangely shaped arenas. That’s exactly what our splash screen shows. Barda and Turbow are on the green team, Eslan and Brand are on the pink team. Turbow is stunned in the back, Eslan is attacking with his meteor strike skill, while Brand is fading in and out of existence, ketchup straw in mouth, and Barda is hoping to stop them with his crystal abilities. We want our matches to be as insane as possible.
- Thanks to our animator Felipe, we now have all the character animations necessary for our prototype phase.
- With our 4 prototype characters completed and animated, I have now updated the screenshots in the UniKaos section of the website. No more placeholders!
Barda is tilting to the left a bit because only his organic side “breathes”
- We’ve started revamping our arena exteriors: adding our spectator ships, concession stands and broadcast towers. These, combined with our stellar skybox, will help to establish the space theme for season 1. Looking forward to showing these off in the next Dev Log!
- We’ve brainstormed our 4 uni’s skills and hope to implement those in the next few days. I’ve already designed icons for them. Eslan will call in a meteor strike, Brand will make players’ phone screens go dark, while his team’s screens remain fine, Barda will summon a crystal wall, and Turbow will move really fast (yeah, obvious one, I know). These skills may or may not be in the final game.
Stars indicate skill level. Players unlock skill levels by training.
- On the programming side, Nick has finalized the character selection and customization systems using our completed prototype unis. Each of the characters will perform a little animation when you select them too, which we plan on showing soon. They also have their equipped customization items saved, so you won’t misplace that perfect outfit ensemble. All characters are now playable within the match using their bespoke animations.
Eslan is a military frog alien… he stands at attention
See you in two weeks!
