In this devlog, I've completely overhauled the graphics in my indie game.
- I've added rule-tiling, allowing tiles to connect or slope (enter different states) depending on where they are, to make everything look way more organic.
- I've also updated the parallax background, as well as changed to using a parallax camera, instead of coding my own script to create a 'fake' parallax effect.
- I've also added camera lookahead, so the camera is offsetted slightly ahead of the player, helping them see what is most important, and influencing them to explore more, something important in the metroidvania genre.
Graphics are massively important in any game - it's the selling point! So it's been important to get it right!
Scorp is a combat, dungeon-crawler-style metroidvania focused on fighting in an arid desert following a story of oppression.
It is made by Jarvis Crompton (MrCrompz) in the Unity 2D game engine and C# programming. I've been working on the project for about 3 years now.

The next devlog will be about a level/structure editor. See you then!
