BlokhedJelli -Bella and Pause Menu Update [DevLog]#3

Let me start this week's devlog with an apology for missing last week's.  I had some issues with my PC and couldn't even access most of the stuff I did, so there wasn't anything I could post.

Now with that out of the way, let's get to this week's (and last week's) updates!

The total amounts of collectibles for each world are now reflected in the World Totals section of the pause menu.  But it was looking a bit boring so I gave the world titles and jelli collectibles drop-down animations.  There are also animated arrows that indicate scrolling directions!

As for Bella, I fleshed out her character story a bit and gave her a bit of dialogue, "Whew, I'm a bit parched.  I could sure use a drink, but I'm tired of water.  Got something a bit more refreshing?"  I wonder what that could be🤔

On top of that, she also has a sprite, animations,  AND sound effects🎵

I began with a basic shape

Then after I was happy with the silhouette, I went on to animate it and, after what felt like forever, I finished it

I locked the alpha and painted the details once the animation looked the way I wanted it to

With the flower details and animation finished, it was time to add the leaves!

Like before, I went from a solid shape to the animation, locked the alpha, then added the details.

And last but not least, I've finalized Bella's animation with a nice note effect to give it that 🌟wow🌟 factor!

Thanks for reading😊
