Keep it Beating » Devlog
Notes and decisions based on playtesting and beta
- Keep certain arrow directions to certain lanes to make it more clear what to hit
- Player moving while attacking is confusing and people think they have to meet with arrows
- Either make that the actual mechanic or restrict movement during attacking phase
- Playtesting the above to see which is better
- Updated graphics with new beat indicator, arrow images, damage effects, healthbar
- Add indicators during attacking phase to telegraph which attack is coming since it was hard to see before
- Updated tutorial to be more interactive and slow
- Fixed bugs
- Add animations and updated graphics for the judgement line
- Updated animations to make them snappier and easier to tell the beat from again
- Fixed joystick sensitivity
- Removed some penalties for moving/attacking when nothing was happening, making user reluctant to try things
Must Complete
- New levels/enemy behaviour
- Level progression meter
- Make cutscenes
- Have adjustable beat threshold
- Make player contrast more
- New art for judgement line
