#thelegallydistinct was started shortly after my pacman revenge retrospective and is meant to be a reimagining of it.

I generally try to include everything I liked about the original while fixing up the bad game design a bit to make it more fun.

Okay so here are some ennemies for the lava factory level of #thelegallydistinct

They are simple, but should fit into the level which will have a bigger focus on environnemental hazards like sawblades, flame geysers and conveyer belts.

One more Update on the new boss for #thelegallydistinct

This one adds a few more tweaks, such as better communicating that regular attacks only push the boss and dont damage it, but also incorporate phase 2 with the conveyer belt

Pretty much done with the art for planet creeve (at least the exterior segments), through im a bit dry when it comes to designing the ennemies.

I need some creative robot designs to fit the whole lava and sawblade asthetic of the area.

yet another Update on the new boss for #thelegallydistinct

the sprites and attacks are now mostly done. Just need to do some tweaks and balancing.

Its currently easy to trick yourself into a loop of safe but innefectual attacks.

Update on the new boss for #thelegallydistinct

Went and closed-off the arena, replacing the lava pits with giant sawblades.

Much of the sprites and attacks are missing so fight still got lots of work to do.

Did a tiny bit of work in #thelegallydistinct

Much of the ideas with the projects are to reimagine ideas from my silly old games so I've started on the boss of stage 6, which will adapts the meta-pacman fight from legend.

Another update for #thelegallydistinct

Ive been reworking the first boss a bit. I was getting a bit bored when fighting him since you kind of just spammed the one move. So this should be more dynamic.

Here's more progress on #thelegallydistinct

I've been reworking the intro of stage 2 to be much safer so learning to use the whip jump isnt a life or death situation.

Doing more work on #thelegallydistinct

Okay i' ve been thinking about some of the criticism, and i decided to make the game a tad more lenient by having the last heal before a boss also give an extra life.

I' ve been receiving some criticism on #thelegallydistinct where the rope jump was said to be pretty unintuitive to use.

It' s a bit tricky to fix as you are meant to be able to jump and drop easily but i' ve been changing it so that jumping uses a double press instead of the up key.

Almost done with Mumfair fight, only got the ending to do.

His second phase trigger at 40% health rather than 60 like other bosses since he becomes so much harder to hit with the clones.

I' m done with stage 5 on #thelegallydistinct so now im seeing what i can do to improve the credit museum.

I wanted something a bit more dynamic than just a scroll at the end of the game, but this still need a lot of work.

This one isn't new but it's a cool fight. This game overall serves as a nice opportunity to test out new mechanics since i dont have to provide as much art or logic to it.

I added some backup dancers to Minty Mike fight. I think they do a good job of keeping things engaging during the gaps in his moveset and synergise well with phase 2

And here some more progress. It feels a lot more dynamic and fair now since ive added the new arena and several options to deal with the energy balls (such as reflecting or destroying them)

Here my current progress on the secret boss.

im not really feeling it yet to be honest. It does all i intended but something about it just doesn't feel very fun. I'll have to try some stuff.

Been pondering a bit over what id want from the secret bosses and i came up with a concept for the first that would be a combination of these two fights from revenge.

The boss didn't quite feel right to me on replay so i adjusted the fight to be more engaging.

Started mapping stage 4 of my silly side-game. This first section mostly introduces the enemies and hazards, so it's not too difficult.

I thought the level needed at least one more platforming based hazards so i made those hands that sink in the lava when stepped on

You can "crowdsurf" on them if you dont stop
