Got some sad news. I heard from Tom Fulp that Felix Wiesner (Wiesi), the guy behind Miami Shark, Ultimate Crab Battle and other Flash games, has passed away.
That sucks. I really enjoyed getting the Newgrounds medals in the shark games back in the day. Wish I got to know him better.
Go play his games on Newgrounds!
(some of them are featured on this site as well)
Here’s an example of a small Hidden Cats & Dogs level.
Each biome starts with something like this, introduces a few new interactions, and then the next levels gradually increase up to 5x in size.
Got the interiors of buildings to light up nicely. Next step is to program some light switches so that turning off the lights can reveal ghosts or something.
Playing around with an extra strong night-time effect, but I think the contrast is too low for some devices/people, so I’ll maybe make this a secret option.
As it’s spooky season, I’m working on night time effects for Hidden Cats & Dogs. I think the lighting looks pretty cool, while still being clear enough to not obstruct your vision. I still need to detect and light up any object inside a building though – as everyone is currently sitting in the dark at home.
Anyway, please wishlist the game on Steam!
