game programmer, immersive tech developer, multimedia professional
I have inevitably fallen behind with these posts. I wanted to smash out a quick week 3 devlog a few days ago—just for the sake of keeping the streak going—but I’ve been busy. The whole team has. And with good reason! I’ll get the biggest news out of the way:
We have a functional pre-alpha build!
Week two of Parasite was about refining player movement, polishing off a prototype level, implementing an active ragdoll, and packing more assets into our lovely backgrounds. For the final week of our prototype production, we were focused on making a pitch video. This involved the deployment of quite a bit of smoke and the installation of a few mirrors, but mostly we were able to use actual gameplay footage, which was gratifying.
