Mission 2 boss level 3 is now done. The mission boss is Daddy robot, with a final fight between Dan and Daddy driver Lou.

This is a big milestone for Shadow Gangs.

I'll start now implementing mission 3 level 1, the caves. I already designed the level, and as always, it will different looking and playing from all the previous levels.
Each level will have a distinctive feel about it.

This level will also see the Kunoichi Suri for the first time.

The Cave level art should be finished very soon, I hope. What i've seen so far of it is beautiful.

​Stay tuned!

I just finished the setting of the canyons level, and overall structure.
I wanted to show a video of it, even if it still missing a lot of things, but it gives an idea how the level will play.

If you have any remarks after seeing the video, please let me know.

I will be now starting the Daddy boss level, and after it will be the cave level.

Still working on the canyons level.
Every level will have something special about it, and I am trying to keep the action exciting as the player progress in the level.

I also take a look at different games, to see level design ideas, level structure etc...These give me inspiration.

For example one game I really liked is this one, great graphics, and just looks good:

Level design is one of the most difficult and time consuming things, and I come to notice more the great level design Shinobi arcade game had.

Action situations, enemy placements, enemy choices etc... a lot of things need to be tuned up and carefully designed to have an exiciting game.

Shadow Gangs is taking the same path.

Above is the Canyons level, still WIP.
