Hello! 

Today I'm releasing two videos of the upcoming update for Big Fish. In this update I'll be including some better animations for the tail, a few tweaked gameplay mechanics to make the game more fun, added GUI elements to the pause screen and an ENTIRELY NEW AREA!!! 

The first video shows the final stages of the Chameleon development. The chameleon can be hurt if the player is the same color. So water shots and even getting eating while the same color will hurt this new giant creature. It will turn invisible and move to a random spot in the room between phases. After defeating it, the Tadpole will gain a new ability! A tongue that can grapple enemies and objects. Now the Tadpole can swing to new areas! 

The second video shows me creating the new Rainforest. I wanted to have plenty of obstacle and hiding holes for the Tadpole. I also added some new enemy types in the game that can now be found here. After having to swim and climb in this new multi layered area, the tadpole will be able to swing up through the ceiling and into the next area. Platforming will also be a big focus in the level design and I intend on the player having more abilities by this point, even though the entrance is relatively close to the  early parts of the game. I generally design my games to allow for the order of things to be broken. After getting the dash, you can realistically get any other ability in any order.  Because of this, I've added a new GUI element to the pause screen showing the icons of items acquired and not yet acquired.

See you next time!
