@floppy4 thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you like the look back one-handed aim

There’s an interesting thing about that, gameplay wise. When you aim back, you lose some accuracy - specially when moving. Also, Ivy is going to move a little slower when she’s aiming back, so there’s a better balance on the combat situations.

I must add that most of the animations are placeholders. I know that right now Ivy seems to float a little when walking, the jumping is not very good, and the climbing looks a little off. The plan is to have a kickstarter campaign starting in about one month from now (hopefully), and if the campaign goes well, I intend to invest on high end AAA animations, thus making the game look and feel more solid.

Bruno, check the Dev Grant program if you have some time. Your game worth it , in my opinion .

Hey Rudse, thanks for the suggestion. I actually applied for the Dev Grants program last week, and now I’m waiting

Hi Bruno!

The game is looking . Keep up the good work!
I know you said you used a material trick on the emissive map for the embryo appear to be inside the egg, but could you explain your setup a little more in-depth?
I’m trying to achieve something like that in my game and it is really trick!

Thanks!

Hi everyone, it’s been a while. I have great news about this project. Here’s a quick video explaining what happened, and what’s the game’s current state.

It looks really good, art, animation and effects are but it looks way too similar to a already free game on steam called alien swarm. (Alien Swarm on Steam), the previous layout seemed allot more unique to me but meh what do I know

Ghiest and joe, thanks for commenting

Yes, Alien Swarm is a good top down shooter, but it’s very limited content wise. There are many games of the genre that are serving as inspiration for Nebula. If you like top down shooters with aliens and stuff, be sure to check out Shadowgrounds, it’s also on steam and the gameplay is great. Cheers!
