In the second episode of this dev log, i documented the process of creating the art style for my 2d platformer game. #indiegame #unity #devlog #art #2dgames
The art and scene you created is incredible! Real top notch work. I would love to see more of your process for layering your scene and your 2d light set up.
The only thing that this makes needs graphic-wise are better player animations. If you do that, this game would look better than Ori and the Blind Forest! Nice work, love the gameplay.
Thanks for the feedback. Really glad you like it. :D Yes, the character does need plenty of improvements and effects. In it's current form it is mostly as a placeholder.
The way the swaying animation shader is done probably uses world position in the calculation. This way bushes at different positions are offset in time, so they don't all play "at the same time". Parallax scripts update the position of your meshes. So the shaders might look like they're sped up, but they're not: when you change the mesh positions you change their "starting time", meaning they'll go to other "frames" in the animation (sine wave). The fix would be to not use the position, but upload (for example) your own "object index" (just a random number from C#) to the shader and use that to change the time offset instead of world position.
Looks amazing! It would be a great idea to make moving parts (eg. Waterfall, windmill etc.) in the background and moving shadows like when you’re standung under a tree shade in the wind. This all would make it feel even more alive I would say. As with the real world there is always a ton of small independent movemements all around and full of detail. This is what the first animated 3D movies lacked and why they felt so empty even though everything was there.
Yes, these things will add a lot indeed. Thank for the feedback 😁 currently I'm working on gameplay and ai, but i definitely intend to add more atmospheric visuals
Love it❤️...... .can you make detaile video on how add lightning, ambiance, and post processing..... Also amount of brightness and saturation on plants based on how far and close it from camera 📸
Perspective makes objects that are closer to the camera look as if they're moving faster than things that are far away. Parallax scripts fake this effect in orthographic view by actually moving those objects in world space. The wind shader likely uses world position for its effect, so moving objects around (which the parallax script does) changes the effect.
artstyle looks really good, but can be time consuming to create.(create lots of assets in same session to get similar look) I would move the camera up so the character is positioned 1/3 from the bottom of the screen, but that is a choice of game design, whatever works for your game. squishy and stretch animation when jumping/in air looks odd, maybe tone down it little bit. Also is that making of videoclip from Ori and blind forest somewhere available?
Thanks for your feedback. The camera indeed needs to be a bit higher. As for the player character, that's still a work in progress, the look, and animations. For the ORI video, unfortunately, the clip is rather short, but you can still check it out: "Ori and the Blind Forest scene construction" You'll find it on TH-cam
@@philip47478 beautiful environment! i agree with Juke, the jump animation needs some work and i think the jump itself looks too floaty. it would probably be good to add more speed to the jump acceleration upwards and more gravity downward so that the character feels like it has more weight.
This backgrounds look amazing. I already try using this spline terrain solutions and its hard to make it look interesting. besides long xp with game assets, I still thing is very difficult to make painted platformer backgrounds like this. so this level looks amazing!
i started watching thease indie game developers bcs i want to be one too, but as i watched the video i thought you have smh like 20k subs but you have only 70... to be honest youre the most underreated thing i ever seen, instant sub
The jumping feels well off (at least in the first clip). I don't understand why every game has to have a double jump, and since when bears cling to walls. Jumping looks like the character is gliding and is kinda too long like the gravity is very low in that, well, forest. The visual improvement is fantastic.
The character does need plenty of improvements, in design as well in animation. Also the double jump is something that can greatly improve platforming sections and make them more fun by offering the player more control😁.
this is a great video Philip! I'm curious - how do you make the enemy parts fly all over the place once you kill them? I would love to create a similar effect in my own game but I'm not sure how to?
It's not that difficult. Basically after the enemy dies, it spawns a particle system which contains some sprites and other particles like blood splatter. Hope this helps :D
Looking awesome! At 5:50 you have a certain light moving around, that gives a spackled effect. Is this a build in feature of Unity, or is it perhaps an alpha mask that provides the effect?
I used a sprite light, which is a simple PNG exported from Photoshop. Then I place it on the same layer with the sorting layer with the rocks. I don't know if it makes sense but i will make another tutorial video next week where I will go in more details on how i built the scene.
The foliage animation speeding up issue happens because in the shader you use the position of a vertex as a factor in how fast the foliage moves, i have no idea why it wouldnt happen with 3d prespective tho

Wooww i will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the solution. I was looking everywhere for it.
The art style you went for fits perfectly, looks pretty good.

Really big improvements, my friend
Thanks for the feedback mate, glad you like it 😁
Really good stuff !!! Excited to see the future of your game ! Makes me more motivated to keep my game dev journey going 👍🏽
Looks beautiful! good job
That was really nice of you mention all those things you tried. Will surely refer your videos for my game.
Love the art style. Keep it up.
Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. ☺
Awesome dev log
art looks amazing!
What an awesome game preview dude, I really love it and your creativity 🎉❤
Absolutely underrated keep going man
Thanks...more dev logs will come soon with more progress.
@@philip47478 I‘m exited
looks really nice cant wait to see the progress
Thanks :D I paused for the moment the environments but i worked more on the character design and movement. You can check that out
@@philip47478 i will
I love the juxtaposition of cozy cute storybook art with gory high-octane movement shooter
Thanks 😊that was the intended design. The lore and story will justify this juxtaposition. I will reveal some of this in the following devlogs
i hope it works out. it looks amazing!
Thanks. Glad you like it. 😁
Love it❤️......
.can you make detaile video on how add lightning, ambiance, and post processing..... Also amount of brightness and saturation on plants based on how far and close it from camera 📸
Sure, it's something i plan to do in the near future😁
The art looks amazing! The controller seems very floaty though, would add a variable jump! 😁👍
This is so beautiful
It's beautiful and and well figured out congrats 👏
Pretty dope progress and art style, I love the colors.
Great job
The swaying vegetation really adds a lot - looks great!
Thanks 😁 Yes, details such as these go a long way to improve a scene.

Well in time, one day maybe i will get to 20k. Thanks a lot, glad you enjoy the dev logs.
@@philip47478 thanks
This is amazing...
good job man, looking forward to see more 👍
Thanks. For sure more will come soon
This is amazing
And the best thing I can say about it is that it looks nothing like other games
Glad you enjoy the style. I tried to create something a bit unique.
Cool!

@@philip47478 That would be awesome if you could touch on it in your next video, thanks!
The game is looking nice ngl 👍

do you need any music for the game? Maybe if not now we should stay in touch!
This game is very Ori-esque
Thanks, Ori was one of the games i looked into for visual inspiration, especially the colour pallet. However, gameplay-wise is kind of different.
how do you drag the platform with collider like thats 1:40 ? iam newbie
Im using Unity's sprite shapes tool. You can find tutorial on how to use it. Then add a "polygon collider 2d" component to your sprite shape.
I like ur backgrounds but not your main character so much
Thanks 😁 I plan to redesign the character
you need GOD RAY
Yo if you want music for your game, let me know
Sure, when I plan to add music, I'll let you know.
