DevBlog Post #1 (Press Start!) -- October 18, 2017

Hello Internets,

Here’s the first DevBlog for Raygun Gadabout!

What is Raygun Gadabout?

Freely explore the galaxy, discover strange new worlds. Discover relics and loot to upgrade your abilities. Battle with fearsome aliens and galactic villains in this epic space adventure inspired by classic Metroidvanias.

Where You At?

Work started on the game in July 2016.

I have a background in animation and art, but started out with zero coding experience.

The game is at a state where the main systems are in place, though often not very pretty and somewhat buggy (controls, inventory, equipment, world map, some enemies, some bosses, cut-scene system, a few levels in different stages of completion). The game is still very Alpha.

What Next?

In future posts i will showcase things I’m working on. Talk about my experience learning C# and Unity. Goals and design ideas behind the game. Art and games and whatever else might pop up.

I thank you for following along on this adventure with me and hope it might prove interesting and/or helpful.

Cheers,

Marcel
