Weekly Dev Update #74
Week of July 18, 2022
This week at Mutant, let’s get you caught up on how our summer has been: Busy and hot. We’ve had multiple moves for I think everyone on the team this year, so it’s been a little stop and go.
But! We’re feeling inspired. We all took the time this week to watch Sea Beast on Netflix and it was a fun monster adventure. Always exciting when we get a new kaiju movie. I was actually already feeling spoiled for how many movies this last year have ended with a surprise "kaiju" fight, Turning Red being the most surprising.
Anyways, we each came away from Sea Beast with different ideas for our little project so we had a few meetings this week about it. If you haven’t watched it yet, I recommend it.
THE BIG ONE
Here’s a few images of our kaiju in progress. He’s needed a lot of special attention and detailing to be able to do the boss fight we’ve got cooking, so Sarah is updating his model and adjusting some details.
KAIJU USED TAIL WHIP, IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Oh, did I mention a boss fight? Guess I should show you something about that then, eh? How about a quick tease from some of our earlier work on him. We’re testing his moves with a test-dummy kaiju at the moment because our big boy is still in progress. Zach has been nailing the scale and movement so I'm stoked to show you more in the coming weeks.
This is just one of his attacks we’re testing and implementing: a massive tail slam! I would recommend: dodging.
The monster fight is also the culmination of our mechanics so we are finalizing a lot of tools (which I'll show you more of next week) and polishing our movement even more.
We've got plenty more to showcase with this behemoth and we're planning on having a test fight for him soon... I'm not saying you should join our Discord in case there's a playtest buuuuuuut... (you should join our Discord anyways!)
