Creating alien plant forms, more humanoid enemies and making it possible for all items to get damaged causing all sorts of problems when you use it.. it’s been a fun week in the world of Space Grunts 2 !

Drawing calls and drawing pixels, this week development of Space Grunts 2 was mostly about drawing in one way or another! Also finding out what makes the classic sci-fi look work!

With this weeks video covering the mostly non-technical stuff, let’s dive a bit deeper into the other changes I made. This includes new camera code, but also new and more moody lighting.

The heat-wave hits hard this week, so I traded my game-development for pixel-pushing and started drawing a bunch of stuff that the game still needs. Luckily there are still many aliens and tilesets to be drawn!

The major focus this week was on some reprogramming of the monster AI, by adding signal-maps to the game, allowing fun toys like signal-bombs to distract or lure aliens. I’ve also plugged in some funky A*-pathfinding mouse-controls and made sure that bomb-explosions now also cause walls to be destroyed.

All in all, a week with small but important changes to Space Grunts 2. Check out the video, and read the tech-blog by clicking!
