@ntivirus 0.9.1 UPDATE


The 0.9 serie will be focused on the completion and rework of the @dventure mode.

     1. TUTO 1 AND 2:

Comparing to the past tutorial, these 2 levels have got less text, have a more gradual challenge, a more systemic environment and encourage exploration with secret rooms and collectibles.
Tuto 1 is focused on the basic mechanics while tuto 2 is focused on the powers and mechanics related to them.

     2. DIRECTION FEEDBACK:

This update is also focused on testers feedback, and many testers complained that the past tutorial lacked directionnal landmarcks.
So we added this directionnal feedback for the 2 tutos:

And it's also reused later as a mini game to unlock powers:

The design of the glyphe in the front of the direction feedbacks is inspired by a glyph inside the game "Red Rivers" freely available on itch.io.

     3. CHECKPOINTS:

Restarting completly a level is sometime really frustrating. In order to solve that problem and to control more the challenge, we created these checkpoints with a design based on native american totem.

The surrounded glyphs and the pylon's glyph are based by the basic glyph of @ntivirus (viewed in devlog 0.8.1):

     4. LEVEL 0:

This level is the concretization of the tutorial levels. It is focused on 4 skills represented by 4 glyphs.
There are 3 areas connected by a central HUB. Every area has got a switch that the player must activate to go to the next level.

     5. MOVEMENTS FEEDBACK:

For @ntivirus we want the HUD to be the simplest possible. So we added 3 new movements feedback into the @v@t@r itself:
-When the @v@t@r is attacking, it will now escape electricty.
-When the @v@t@r is jumping (and not simply falling) a gas will escape from its bottom and a sound will be played.

In the next version, the player will be able to desactivate the feedbacks in an Option.

     6. LEVEL DESIGN ELEMENTS REWORK:

Many elements has been graphically reworked to enhance their affordance and visibilty.
For exemple, in the video below you can see the rework of the powers:


     7. OPTION "INPUT SETTINGS":

Re mapping the keys of major actions is now possible.
Every changements are visible in the tuto levels.

     8. COLLISION ISSUES FIXED:

We fixed the collision issues the @v@t@r got while touching multiple platforms, sticking or using slowmotion.

The major's update are reviewed. A big thanks to all the testers for their feedbacks.
Feel free to share your remarks on the comment section and if you like our work to like and share it.
Thanks for reading, @+!
