We’re putting the final touches of the new boss. I’d love to hear your opinions about the visuals of it: We tried to design a really different boss and it was a lot of trouble to make it work properly. I’m looking forward to see some of you becoming dragon food! -Ed BEHEMUTT

- Game Design Time! - Solving the Backtracking - 30 July 2017
There was a backtracking problem on Mana Spark. This happened when you had explored an area on the game to find a lever, and then to reach the exit you had to go all the way back to where you were before, in a long boring walk. Other games that also have this problem usually solve it by allowing the player to teleport somehow, like on Enter the Gungeon or Dead Cells. But it seemed to be a cheap trick to me. I didn’t want to introduce random teleports on Mana Spark. So this is the solution I came with: A new Mini Map. Yeah, that’s the solution. Before our mini map looked like this: The rooms of the floor were only revealed once you’d visited them. Everything was hidden. Why? I didn’t had an answer. Because everybody does it like that? The player had no idea where the rooms were, so he couldn’t plan a good route. That’s what was causing backtracking at first! So here’s how the new mini ma…
