patreon devlog update 34: chaos is a ladder (Patreon)

still stuck on chapter 2 >_>  you think you finished all the animations, but more and more keep popping up as the story gets fleshed out and details are being added. This week i worked on a lot of tiny animations to make the game feel more alive and plesant to watch.

so, there is a ladder puzzle in this chapter, and of course we didn't have a ladder climbing animation, so that had to be done. But this is good, it'll be useful for other situations for sure:

aand up they go. ( sorry about the weird colors, it's the gif compression)

next i had to animate a couple of moments towards the end of the level. Zap and andy have succesfully tricked dab into opening the door to sid's dream vault, and the dream demon has to free himself from the grabby lock mechanism:

in sid's dream vault , sid finally discovers dab has locked away his dreams and aspirations, condemning him to a life of apathy. Needless to say Sid isn't exactly happy of the situation. Dab tries to distract his friend, but the truth is exposed and no amount of gaslighting is going to work now.

this is of course moments before sid true dream self manifests in all his buff glory 

as i already show in this old animation:

anyways, that's all i could work on for this week, more to come! now that al and rick are back into business i'm sure we'll be able to finish the demo soon enough!
