Hello humans, I'm PlayerXT! And You... are humans...

◇ Day 9 of demo 4 production◇

Ok, exactly 22 hours ago (or 22 years ago depending on when I decided to post this), I had finally started rebuilding the levels of the "combustion center" (yes, I'll keep calling it that, don't judge me) while also giving them some improvements. So I've already done the "staircase", now it's time for me to move on to the next part of the level, which I'm going to call...

(Drum rolls)

The Entranceeeeeee!!!!

...

(Creativity is overflowing from me today)

The idea of the "entrance" is simple:

▪︎ Introduce the new mechanics.

▪︎ Introduce the new art style of the area.

▪︎ Give it a good dose of pure "platform gameplay".

In other words, without much fuss, without setting fire to the players' eyes, just a level with platforms to be jumped over. Simple and practical. So, with that out of the way, let's get to work!

(Imagine a super happy montage of me placing block by block in the level)

Ok, a funny detail...

My goal was to remake the original level by just changing the artistic direction and keeping the level design, however, when I started creating the level itself, I felt bored recreating detail by detail until I started, little by little, changing one thing here, another there, and before I knew it... I had already created a completely new level, far from the original idea! It's as if I weren't capable of repeating something without wanting to put my own spin on it. Conclusion? Please, in a few years, don't ask me to remake this game, because I'll probably completely modify it and I'll have fun in the process and you'll be mad at me...

with that said...

it's done!

...

At least 10% of it...

(a minute of silence for those who thought I would finish everything today)

And... that was today's devlog, there's not much to say, after all, when it comes to making the levels of your game you... just make the levels of your game! Of course there are all the details of how the mechanics influence each other, etc., but I prefer to talk more in depth about this after this demo is released, you know, so as not to spoil the surprise...

So...

That's it...

have a good day...

...

Yeah... you can go back to doing what you were doing before.
