Greetings, Prospective Painters! It's time for another Antipaint development update. Here's what I've been working on. [h2]Camera Zoom[/h2] Just after posting the previous development update, TheDane from [url=https://discord.com/invite/arDf4m7sA7]our discord server[/url] suggested a neat little feature - the ability to zoom out to see the whole painting. So I implemented it. Cool! [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//39212421/7ae58dc12f353a786661e77502478e38d869f9a3.gif[/img] [h2]Boss Fights[/h2] Antipaint needed a big baddie battle. So I began experimenting with a boss design. I want the final game to feature several different bosses, all with their own unique quirks. This one is a bit simple, he charges at you, then turns around and does it again. If you hit it enough, it will start spawning minions and moving faster. Simple, but effective.

With this [strike]groundbreaking[/strike] design it becomes a bit easier to paint something you want as you can guide these little fellas to where you want them to be. Or you can just splat them.

It allows me to create very different and neat-looking paintings. It also adds some complexity into the game as it's a bit harder to spot the enemies as there are several moving lines on screen that do not contain enemies. Neat!

[url=https://ninjakyat.itch.io/antipaint]You can check it out here[/url]. Please hop on the [url=https://discord.com/invite/arDf4m7sA7]discord server[/url] afterwards and share your thoughts! [h2]Other Things[/h2] I've also been spending some time on refining and optimizing the UI and getting things to work with a controller. These tasks aren't as fun or glamorous, but you've got to do them. Apart from that I've also tweaked some animations, added some neat little camera bobbing, changed up a few sprites and fixed various issues. It's been a productive month and things are moving along nicely. [h2]Wishlist Antipaint[/h2] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1418390/Antipaint/
