Game
It's a Cube
3 years ago

A few days ago I released version 1.2 and then 1.2.1 to fix a bug in 1.2. See the article below or changelog.txt included in the download for more details.


Version 1.2 adds a texture to the walls and fixes a bug where the floor would never turn blue. Version 1.2.1 fixes a bug in 1.2 where the Development Environment text (which I have in case I forget to disable dev commands when making a build) would reappear after returning to the menu from the game over screen.

I DID end up making the body and elytra both 1 cycle/s and the wings 6 cycles/s. I'm working on a video of the animation itself playing in the Unity editor so you guys can see it properly. I think it turned out well!

I've been working on some proper visual art for the beetle shell when it's equipped! I've also gone ahead and drawn a break animation for it. All I need to do now is actually set all of this up in Unity which I'll probably do on Tuesday.

Today I added a glimmer effect on the ground that plays when you score! I think it looks really nice and I wanted to share!

I've been working on the sprite for the beetle shell power-up drop! I'm thinking when you collect this one, it will kind of poof away similarly to the enemies when they're defeated and play an "equip" sound.

I added push notifications that appear when you reach a new milestone! These milestones correspond to the Game Jolt trophies for It's a Cube.

I'm working on adding in-game achievements for It's a Cube that correspond to the Game Jolt trophies. I also plan to make versions of the in-game art for these to use as trophy icons for the game's page on Game Jolt eventually.

Okay so fast forward ~2 and a half hours of work and I've gotten an effect to play when the shield breaks! There is a sound effect too but for some reason it sometimes doesn't play... Need to figure THAT out now... v0.2.1 is on the way today!

I updated the algorithm that handles the timer gradually decreasing as the game progresses! Before, it would decrease by 1 second when the player scored certain amounts, but now it gradually decreases according to a multiplier each round.

Many Improvements to the main menu, and I added a floor texture and improved the level behind the cube!

My next project! It's still in the early stages of development, but I have a tech demo available for download.
