This month we have been busy working away on our UI more specifically the Main Menu and the process of creating a room / joining and some minor tweaks here and there as we keep polishing the game as we go.
As a little sneak peak into the process here is our working main menu with a video at the bottom to show the flow we have been working on it should be noted that we are designing the game around full controller support personally we prefer the gamepad when playing and it just feels more natural and fun with others when playing on a gamepad you will however still be able to use a keyboard for the hardcore PC fans out there, all the images shown are using an Xbox Controller
When you launch the game you are welcomed by a giant sign with which you can use to get to either Local or Online play in this short slideshow we are going to go through the process of making a online game.
The world then spins around literally till you get to the sign post and in this case we chose to create a game here you can simply select how many slots / players you want open, it should be noted that regardless of how many slots you have open you are still able to launch the level with less players for example if you wanted to have 8 players but only 4 joined you could still start the game without having to go through the process again.
Once you have created your room we go to the character select screen this is where you choose your skin and the your colour which will be seen on the skin itself in game and in the portrait, after this screen you can see it beneath you are able to choose the level and start the game.
Our local menu is mostly the same but players are choosing their skins and colours at the same time and really only the first panel changes which you will notice is in a different place but also has 4 slots of people to join, much like online play this isnt a strict number of players you can start the game with 2 no problem.
For a small clip of it in action you can see it all here:

Aswell as all of this we have some new skins to show next month!
If you made it this far thankyou for bearing with us we hope you are just as excited to play it as we are to show it to everyone and play with everyone!
