Hello there!

As this week nearly concludes, we are roughly a week away from finishing the Alpha build of our Metroidvania game PRESS REKORD. Despite the team feeling a bit tired from the strain of lockdown in Ireland (COVID-19) and getting back into the swing of working after our break, we are making good progress...

This week we have:

• Completed the new UI Artwork
• Begun implementing the UI Artwork and getting it working with the UI system
• Tweaked the general Combat and Rat Enemy systems and fixed the Dash Ability bug
• Found an appropriate Environment Art Style to commit to for overall consistency 
• Begun drawing the Tilemaps and the Character Dialogue Sprites
• Finished the temporary Map Art (for the Alpha - will be tweaked in the future)
• The Audio elements have started undergoing editing

Below is a mock-up image of the new UI Pause Menu artwork against a screenshot from the Vertical Slice Build combat area and an image of Kat (for the purposes of correlating Kat's colour details and the UI's colours, etc.)

Check in next week to see how our Alpha build looks! Thank you for giving this blog a look and if you wish you can look at our previous one here: Vertical Slice Feedback and Moving Towards Alpha Phase

Have a great weekend y'all...
