METAL SUITS, new planets Ladren, and new game mode

Hi all! I’m already writing my 16th development journal. Over the past two months, externally, we have won an award at the 2nd GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest hosted by Bandai Namco and sponsored by SUPERCELL. Internally, we have been focusing hard on developing the game ahead of its release this year.

Although it is a side-scrolling action game, some airplane shooting game modes had to be included, so an airplane shooting game is also being produced and the final balance is being adjusted.

So far, we have introduced you to 7 planets. Today I would like to introduce you to the eighth planet, called Ladren.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[h2]1. Ladren[/h2] 1) Planet Description




Planet Ladren is a planet entirely covered in ice. It’s a barren planet like the previous planet Burniny.

Fortunately, light can penetrate the ice, and the residents live near the river that runs through the ice caves.

It’s an icy planet, but it’s also rumored that the reason it’s so warm underneath isn’t because of the light that reaches into the ice caves, but because there’s a huge, unknown energy source underground. Perhaps that’s why Golida took over this place.




2) Objects added to the planet Ladren

(1) Energy Ice Blocks

A block of ice in various shapes, but explodes on impact. They explode with a loud bang but don’t do any damage nearby.





(2) Mystery Ice Chunks

These are chunks of ice that are formed by clusters of ice, presumably influenced by the terrain. Sometimes breaking them will reveal items, but other times they will reveal enemies frozen in the ice.





(3) Aerial Blocks

Aerial blocks placed by Golida will descend to the ground when their weight is detected. If no weight is detected, they will return to their original position, so make good use of them.





(4) Toxic Organisms

An organism that drops itself to spread poison when a creature comes near it and is only found on Radren.





(5) Wall Moving Saw Grinder

You’ve seen sawtooth wheels spinning on blocks before, but this time they’re sawtooths that travel along a defined path on a wall.






(6) Laser Trap

A device that shoots lasers up and down every certain amount of time. Keep an eye on the timing and move.






[h2]2. Space Flight Shooting Mode[/h2]

Chapter 8 adds a scenario in which Kevin flies an airship into space and battles enemy fighters and big spaceships.





.

When you acquire a power-up kit, your ship can be enhanced five times.

Users can also get HP recovery, shields, and special skill items. We’re still working on this, so we’ll have more details when we’re done.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s it for today’s devlog. I’ll be back in the next devlog to show you the last planet and more things we are developing.

Thank you for reading the game dev journal until the end, and if you are interested in our project, please add and follow us through Steam.

METAL SUITS, new planets Noazm and Burniny

Hello, how are you all doing? It's been a while! It's been three months since I last posted a METAL SUITS development journal at the end of October 2023.

I know it's late, as January is already coming to an end, but I hope you all have a happy new year and that everything you want to do this year is going well!

Our METAL SUITS project is developing well and smoothly without any major issues. In order to ensure stable development and fast maintenance in the future, we have been refining the METAL SUITS project code from November to January, and it was completed without any major issues. And apart from refactoring, we are working hard to create new content.

Today we'd like to tell you about the new planets Noazm and Burniny.

------------------------------------------------
[h2]1. Noazm[/h2]
1) Planet Description


Noazm is a planet made up entirely of jungles and rivers, and among the giant trees that make up the jungles, there are ancient structures believed to have been built in ancient times, as well as various ancient devices that have never been seen before. What is Golida up to in a place like this?




2) Objects added to the planet Noazm
(1) Zipline
When users ride a zipline, users can go down quickly, and when users jump, users can also go to the other side of the zipline.







(2) Pressing switches and rising rocks
Pressable switch will work when pressed from up, left, and right. Users can use the switches to perform various gimmicks.




(3) Unfolding ladder
An unfolding ladder is a ladder that extends when triggered by a switch or when certain conditions are met. If you see a ladder like this on your screen, even if you can't climb it, keep an eye on your surroundings.




(4) Magic Stone Bridge
A magical stone bridge that unfolds when triggered by a switch or when certain conditions are met. Users can move the cursor down on the bridge to go under it. It's still in development, so there's a bit of a bounce to it, but it will be cleaned up.




3) New enemies added to the planet Noazm
(1) Poison River and Piranha
The rivers on the planet Noazm are toxic and kill you if you touch them. And that's where the Noazm piranhas live, which are resistant to the toxic substance. If you're wearing a suit, you'll take damage, and if you're not wearing a suit, you'll die instantly if you touch them, so you have to be careful.




(2) Golida Javelin
The first enemy to appear in Noazm is the Golida Javelin. Unlike the original Golida, this one throws spears. If you encounter it alone, it's easy to dodge as its spear flies in a parabola instead of a straight line, but if it's attacking with other Golidas, it can be difficult to avoid.




(3) Golida Vine
A wooden Golida mutant. Its wooden body makes it vulnerable to fire. It attacks with vine spikes through the ground, so jump when it gets into an attack stance!





[h2]2. Burniny[/h2]
1) Planet Description




Burniny is a planet of red deserts, scorching hot and barren. The inhabitants of Burniny live in underground bases to escape the scorching heat. After the Golida invasion, they docked a large warship here.




2) Objects added to the Burniny planet

In the case of Planet Burniny, the main battle is to infiltrate the inside of Golida's large battle ship and annihilate the enemy rather than planet exploration and combat.

(1) Rising Metal Box
It has a switch or a metal box that rises or falls when a condition is met. 6 It has the same function as the rising boulder from region Noazm, but we've changed the design so that it can be used inside the Golida people's airship.




(2) Mineral magma
There is magma created by melting a mineral that the Golida tribe uses as an energy source and kills instantly upon contact. It was designed to turn on/off for safety, as even the Golida tribes would die if touched. You can turn it on or off by achieving certain conditions or operating a switch.




3) Enemies added to the planet Burniny

(1) Golida Tri-Pod Sniper
It's one of the Tri-Pod attack machines. It targets the enemy and fires quick bullets one at a time.




(2) Golida Tri-Pod Spider
When it spots an enemy with one of the Tri-Pod attack machines. It jumps in and performs a melee attack. As it is a mechanical robot or melee attack machine, its stamina is higher than that of other Tri-Pod machines.

That's it for today's devlog. I'll be back in the next devlog to show you what's been developed further or what's currently in development.

The next post will be about the newly added planets and new game modes.
