- Instead of having just a single level, your species can now earn experience in different skills! These grant bonuses like permanent stat increases. Reaching new stages will also unlock more skills. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- #ElysianEclipse V 0.5.4 is here! This version is available to test for aquatic tier or higher supporters and will become completely free once the next version drops. Patchnotes for all 0.5.x updates: www.elysian-eclipse.com#/wiki/V_0.5_... Supporter Download: ko-fi.com/post/Version...
- More info and the FREE Version 0.5.3 are available here: www.elysian-eclipse.com#/earlyaccess
- Blorb Station constructed. Space Duck deployed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jDz... #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- Blorb has been sent to the new space stage prototype. Here he will construct a space station, the Blorb Station™, which will serve as hub for testing space stage mechanics. Wish him luck, as he ventures where no Blorb has gone before! #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- Some more progress on the plant editor. You can now create twisted tree trunks. The "cap" of this plant is a work in progress version of one of the first fungus parts. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- The material selector is here! It lets you change the material of the individual regions of hut and plant parts. It even lets you change the leaf shape of foliage. Here, I used it to create a bamboo hut. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- I made several improvements to mount and camera controls: - The mount will now try to land by itself, when you jump off while being in the air. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- Elysian Eclipse now has new fonts! The text is now more stylized and rounded, especially for headings. Small caps have been removed completely to make everything more consistent. Here is a before and after of the archive. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- Mounts now have their own ability hotbars! While riding the crabfish, you can let it perform a spin dash, just like in aquatic stage. Its health and energy are shown too while riding. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- Happy New Year! So, this is it. The first year ever, I'm not employed anymore and can fully focus on Seven Ducks Studios. 👀 #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- The sub-part system has been added to more parts. You can now for example place windows on both layers of this roof and they will be automatically rotated correctly. Previously only the top layer was clickable and you couldn't attach parts to it at all. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- While I've been busy with space stage, @roseae.bsky.social has been experimenting with some more leaf types. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- The #Spore subreddit recently got taken over by a malicious actor, and I compiled a summary of the drama and started working on a new, alternative subreddit. www.reddit.com/r/SporeGame/...
- Categories for vehicles and starships have been added in preparation for the second space stage prototype. There won't be an editor yet though, since you'll fly a premade ship. Development will start directly after christmas. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- #ElysianEclipse is back on Reddit! www.reddit.com/r/ElysianEcl...
- #ElysianEclipse V 0.5.3 is here! This version is available to test for aquatic tier or higher supporters and will become completely free once the next version drops. Patchnotes for all 0.5.x updates: www.elysian-eclipse.com#/wiki/V_0.5_... Supporter Download: ko-fi.com/post/Version...
- The part selection is still small, but the plant editor is slowly coming together. I plan to release a new version this weekend. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- The first plant from the art contest, the "Needle Rock", designed by EquippedHats has been added to the game! All of its parts will be available in the plant editor. Try giving it a hug. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame #Art #ConceptArt
- Tried to make some different types of foliage and ended up with hanging leaves, similar to weeping willows. This is just a quick test, the final part will have a prettier texture. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- The sub-part system has been implemented! It basically allows a part to have multiple "attachment points" that have control over the snapping and rotation of all parts placed on them. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- It is now clear what part categories the plant editor will have: Stems, Branches, Foliage, Flowers, Fruits, Fungi, Corals, and Minerals. The tentacle thingies here are the first coral part. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- I'm working on adding proper branches to the plant editor. This tree here is also using the new rocks as decoration. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- I feel like the only thing people took away from my last post was "pooping creatures".
- Not sure if this is a good idea, but you can now vote for things on the #ElysianEclipse roadmap, if you have a Trello / Atlassian account. It also lists very important features like pooping and getting drunk, lol. trello.com/b/3GntuYDl
- Elysian Mesh can now generate rounded cubes! The first part to make use of that, will be the clay block. It can be used to create both natural and artificial structures. #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
- I somehow implemented fishing before fishing rods... www.youtube.com/watch?v=obcD... #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
