Pearlus2 Breakdown. Siren's 3rd Hscene sneak peek. (Patreon)

Heyo everyone! This week was focusing on the enemy setup of Pearlus 2. Everything is set up until the last boss, save a couple events I would like to have.

I'll start with a couple small things I did before getting into the level.

First I implemented Rooster's alternate outfit, and alternate hair.

Combinable with the jacket.

Separated into 2 pieces

And finally Rooster with some greasy ass/wet hair.

Another thing I did, was add a few more components into the new input system. While not done yet, we are a couple steps closer to making gamepad more viable.

Now.. onto the level.

What you see at the head of the post, is the first interaction of the level.. with familiar enemies.. after that you are attacked by the worm enemies scuttling on the top of the ocean.

The missiles are fired quite close, so engaging these enemies can be risky.

After a couple other small exchanges you will see the large ships from Pearlus reappear. It's likely at this point you will notice the water becoming red.

 Upon reaching the end of the line, you will dip down and submerge in the juice. (Saturation and intensity may still be adjusted.. the important part is that the scripts are there, and functional. :P)

These clams will launch toxins that you will need to avoid.

The ships are a little more aggressive down here.

When destroying the large ships, they will sink. Avoid being under then when they do, as you can take damage during their crash.

There will be a large clam for you to go through, but you will likely need to boost your way through before it clamps down on you.

Shortly after this you will see Nova's water ships fleeing from the seaweed thicket

Upon entering it you will see some things must have gone wrong, and are faced with a graveyard of sorts.

With that, the level is ready for the boss. There may be a few neat events to add to the feel of the level which will be added later. We'll tackle that a bit later though.

Now what's on the menu for next week? Well... Siren's 3rd Hscene. I will be breaking it up and animating it. Here is a first look at it.

With that, I'll wrap up this report! Thank again everyone for the support, and I'll catch you next week with some motion!
