Super quick fixes:

• Spring-sprint was locked if you didn't make them on the first try. Now you can retry it.
  
• Summer music wasn't playing; it was playing the autumn theme again. Now it plays fine.

Hello, hello Indiedev, Indiegame and Mushroom lovers! 🤠

Today, we’ll be discussing the evolution of *Mycelium Heaven*'s logo and key art.
So, first things first. Behold, the first Itch thumbnail:

Outstanding, I know. Just keep in mind that this was made for a game jam, and I was working solo. I left the capsule and title for the very last minute. In the Unreal Editor, the game was titled *Juego Setas* ("Mushroom Game") and *No hay mal que por bien no venga* ("There's always a silver lining") on the Notion page.
I even used this rough version of the logo to pitch the game for a while, but thankfully, that didn’t last long. My dad came to the rescue.

One evening at my grandparents' house, we came up with a new logo. My dad sketched it, and I colored it. So, big thanks to my dad (Raúlo Cáceres)[raulocaceres.es] for his time and to my mom for being there to capture the moment.

This was the main capsule for a while. But then I joined Dojo System! And they helped me a lot with some polishing deteails, like changing thar logo for a new one.

Now that’s a pretty cool-looking video game title, if you ask me. And you know what would be even cooler? An illustration!

And this super awesome cover art has been made by

I think this new look fits the game perfectly. Spooky, fun, intriguing, and full of mushrooms!
See you in the next one!👋

MYCELIUM HEAVEN DEVLOG #2 - PROGRAMMING

Hey there, Indie Game lovers, strategy game fans, and mushroom enthusiasts! 🌱

Today, I’m here to talk a bit about the programming in Mycelium Heaven.

Just a disclaimer: programming isn’t exactly my passion. I code because the game needs to do stuff. Maybe that's why I ended up making the game in:

In general, there isn’t much to comment on; most of the logic load is on the main character and the tiles, which have functions the character can call.

I should mention I didn’t put much thought into class structure or anything because the game started from a jam. I had more coffee in my veins than hours of sleep. Thankfully, I had a lightbulb moment and decided to use inheritance for the tiles, because systems ended up in the final game that, honestly, I wouldn’t implement the same way now. But I think that’s part of the beauty of watching projects evolve—you learn what’s scalable and what’s not.

I’ll end with this special shout-out to a comment I left during a desperate moment trying to fix a bug:

I think I mentioned it was a bad move to do a get all of class and then cast, but hey, the bug got fixed.

See you in the next one! 👋

Hiii!

Today we are going to talk about Mycelium Heaven’s art.


I knew I wanted to make the style 3D and low poly so I could produce the assets in a reasonable amount of time with a distinct look. I really like heavily textured, stylized 3D games, so I took inspiration from "Shelter".

I don’t usually work with sketches, and since this game was made for a Jam, to see what I wanted to do first I just opened Blender, made some cute low poly models, and then jumped to Substance Painter to give them the final look. After a bit of trial and error, I arrived at some textures that I liked. Then I just made the rest of the assets to match the look.

One thing that I was aming for is that a frame from my game needed to be distinct enough to be recognisble. I like it when you see a screenshot and you can inmediately say “hey, that’s from that game”.


My asset-making pipeline is basically this:

First, I look for references. Sometimes they go on a Notion page; most of the time, they are a few tabs open in my browser.

Then I make a little drawing in a notebook (a very optional step).

After that, I make a 3D version of it in Blender, trying to stick to the level of low-poly that I have established.

A very important step here is to vertex paint the different parts of the model so I can apply different colors and patterns more easily later.

Finally I go to Substance Painter and give it some life. I use the vertex color as a color ID map to create masks and apply color more easily.

Here is where I usually experiment the most and try different looks. Most of what I do is based on basic colors and patterns, so iterating is quite fast.

And when it’s done, the model and the texture (yes, the entire game is made only with base colors, I really like the plastic look) goes to Unreal, and it’s ready to go.

I hope you enjoyed my little rambling about game art!

See you in the next one 😉
