@CryptVoice This is all 3d floors

@Batandy_ You use sector portal?

So far this map has been really hard to design, turns out nailing that cruise ship vibe is harder than it looks. #goldensouls

No shame on them of course, and I get that not everybody uses Twitter, it’s just funny reading all the “the project is not dead!” while I’m thinking “bro, I’ve been working on this every day since forever”

I think it’s pretty funny how there’s plenty of people who only wait for YouTube updates and don’t keep up with my dev logs here, so they basically think that I rise from the grave every time I upload a YouTube video (and this new video was the first upload since almost a year)

3)had to rework the type of obstacle that would get disabled for you to access the "reward" since the existing bars wouldn't work with 3d floors, that meant going all the way back to the code for both the switch and the failsafe and adapting it

When people wonder why this project is taking so long, I just spent two hours refining a single time trial switch because 1) it would conflict with an existing timetrial in the level so there'd need to be a failsafe to avoid starting both at once 2) handle the reset on level exit

I just published a video preview of the newest Golden Souls 3 level, Classy Cruise. #goldensouls Video in reply below (testing to see if the algorithm likes it better this way)

Demons? On my cruise? I want a refund! #goldensouls

Time for a dive bomb. #goldensouls

@Terry_Dactyll It's more of a "feel" kinda thing, i have to "feel" the level i'm making otherwise it will lead nowhere

@Batandy_ What about it aren't you sure about? The theme?

I've been working on a new map which is giving me quite the headache, don't feel comfortable publishing pics yet cause i'm not sure about it and might axe it completely for a plan B map, more to come.

@D4N5T3P Prime 3 is not as good as 1 and 2 but it's more cohesive and generally more interesting than 4 despite starting the "linear Prime" design

@Batandy_ Was prime 3 any good? I tried playing it after 1 and 2 but it also felt much more linear and hand holdy

Finished Metroid Prime 4 earlier and I don't think I wanna play it again, unfortunately it's incredibly linear and the backtracking feels artificial, the desert area is just a gimmick duct taped together, and there's a lot of sections that just did not hit that Prime feeling.

@N1ch0l2s Hey, nope, they use sound effects from The Wind Waker from what I recall, specifically the flaming skull enemy

@Batandy_ Are these little fire guys voiced by the guy who voices Square in the Adventures of Square? Their voice sounds eerily familiar. I'd be surprised if they weren't, especially since this is the level with the Adventures of Square secret.

What you see here is the first draft of the final area of the game, I decided to shake things up visually by setting it in a "Central Park" style environment. #goldensouls

Nothing's better than a relaxing walk in the park. #goldensouls

As of today, area 2 is complete and I can start working on area 3 and the subsequent final levels. I still can't determine when the project will be completed, but 1.0 approaches and it's closer than ever, so I hope you will have the patience to wait just a bit more! #goldensouls

I don’t think I ever asked this question but, if you’re reading this and you’re looking forward to Golden Souls 3, what is it that you’re most excited for specifically? Like, what features/weapons/maps, anything goes? Let me know!

Work on the boss level has been completed, I'm currently further refining area 2 and tying up some loose ends, it shouldn't take more than a week, after that I'm onto starting the work on Area 3 and the final set of levels, a Roadmap update is coming soon :) #goldensouls3

@PPyromanic53906 Yes, same name from the second iteration 👌

@Batandy_ Wonderful work. Is this gun the successor to the "sniper rifle" weapons from the prior two games?

Don't just walk in haunted castles uninvited. #goldensouls
