This week we’ve continued working on the Temple of Seasons. It will be one of the most graphically heavy areas of the game since both enemies and scenery will have three different variations, so our grahpic duo have wasted no time getting started!
Below is one of the early rooms of the temple in all of its autumny glory.
If you missed it a few weeks ago, Vilya have started up a workblog that goes a lot more indepth about the graphical assets she’s making, like the room seen above. Be sure to check it out!
Fred have spent the week finishing up all of the animations for the Summer varation of the Knight enemies we showed off a while ago. The Summer Knight will work as a base for both the Fall and Winter versions. Besides different weapons, each enemy will have their own set of unique moves they will have access to if the area is set to their season.
Above is the Summer Knights special move, a high damaging single target attack with Guard Crush (instantly destroys your shield if not perfect guarded) and a huge knockback.
Besides fancy special attack, the knights will be the first enemy in the game that uses shields. The enemy shields will work similar to player shields in terms that they have their own HP and can break if taking too much damage.
@Illanyss i guess it’s easier for them to make, since the spinning circle is just copied. If the hammer would be behind him in the first position, they had to change the circle.

Hippy0815: Oh, they’re not copied ;D They are all a little different from each other.
The animations look awesome ^_^
What an idyllic place! Looks geat, really looking forward to the temple of seasons. Gonna show them knights that my slime hammer is way better than their rustic one.
@Fred I see, I see… Well, just noticing the details, nothing else xD
This is great, I love their constant movement as they bob up and down. This temple is starting to remind me of Click Clock Wood from Banjo kazooie. :P
This game’s gonna be gooooooooooood!!
On the high damaging single target attack, the knight facing us is spinning his hammer in front of himself, rather than behind like the all the others. IS this a mistake or intentional?
