Every time Juda collects one of these glowing polygons, he gets a new ability!

For this update I had a little help from cool people on the internet. The material for the glowing light was created by following two tutorials on youtube:

Erode tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaElxD9dDlI

Gradient tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN9un3Wf5Xo

The animation was created in blender. As for the blue spinning particles, these were created in cascade in UE4, by using an orbit module with upward velocity and drag (so it spreads them out vertically). I probably could have used a cylinder location to make this work but I couldn't get it looking how I desired. From there, when Juda hits the material, (on collision begin overlap), I have created a dynamic material instance so the blue particles have downward acceleration (fall down to the ground) and the material erodes. Then, I add another burst particle with cone velocity to make the cool sphere particle effect.

For the glowing eyes, that was simply using a material on the eyes that blends between an emissive material and the normal black one. Then I just lerp the blend value between them to change them smoothly!

If you are interested in this game's development, we would love to have you follow us on twitter or discord. Thanks for reading!

If you like top down RPG's, puzzles, making decisions that vastly change a story, or you simply want to feel not very special, have we got a game for you!

This is the new wallride ability that we have added to Reky Studio's current game-in-development, JUDA. If you want to see more cool updates like this, head on over to our discord or follow us on twitter.

Just a new effect to the landboard to make it feel a little more lively and stylized. Let us know what you think!

I have been hard at work with Juda still and making fantastic progress. I would estimate that I am about 60% done with all of the character abilities. From there, it's just a matter of creating the world and the story! Woof, game design is quite a large beast!

Our goal was to make something simple, with a focus on the game's environment. Hopefully you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Lot's of creatures can run, or glide, but Juda is a creature who stands alone. How many other animals do you know that can take off their wing and use it as a snowboard? :D
