Imported from my medium article that I wrote since December 13 2015 which means last year and Orbiz got top 100 indie games via IndieDB. Now It’s a new year and I think too late to celebrate right now but from my deepest heart I want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! and I’m back on writing class.

I’ve played many games to looking for an inspiration and having fun like Tomb Raider, Bioshock, and Resident Evil Series
(hey, I got it from humble bundle LOL) last month and this month too. But of course, we’re also thinking about how to make Orbiz better and can be played together with friend
, girlfriend, or even boyfriend on a saturday night party club. One of my inspiration is cinematic scene.

1. Cinematic Scene

I’ve already think how can I implemented that for an indie game and not looks like AAA game. Because we planned to make it rogue like and everything should be modular. So I insert a camera inside every spawner object and also make it zoomed out camera animated after the spawner destroyed. It happens for every spawner and like just copy-paste the object. Below is the screenshot (but I’ll GIF it later).

And this is the first devlog about how I build Orbiz because we just update the new feature,
obviously the mighty select character so wow. The older version you can’t choose another character, for example when you play as a player 1 you just plas as Ash, player 2 as Ray, player 3 as Max, and player 4 as Leo. But now, you can use whatever you want between that four character (unfortunately you can’t use same character with other player).

1. Character Select

Just press left or right arrow keys if you play using keyboard or press LB or RB if play with xbox controller which is awesome controller for PC gamer fellows (no, it isn’t an ads).

Technically on unity 3d, I just use PlayerPrefs for the absolute weapon of saving data from the first (select character scene) to the second scene.
