Next up
Slow progress is better than no progress, eh?
I added two new enemies (fish & hat), chests and life containers. And pause screen. Plus a lot of bug fixes you cannot see in the gif.
Note that this is still the test area.
Now you can buy items. I might add a confirmation box that asks if you really want to buy that item. Maybe.
Drawing those propellers took surprising amount of time, but hey, now you know how the palace can be flying!
Next thing to add: gamepad support?
I'm just posting this to show that, yes, I'm making some progress (not much, but little). I have mostly fixed some bugs and other things that aren't "giffable". I might be able to finish this thing before the next year.
Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").
I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!
Version 1.0.0 released
This is the main (stable) release.
New things:
- Map (it shows the map of the whole area, but only the solid tiles, not items or anything)
- Blood shards that you need to collect to craft a blood gem
- Better graphics for the title
- ...and some minor things?
Time portals implemented. And that one enemy that is certainly not stolen from Super Mario!
Who would have guessed, making a puzzle game with metroidvania-like progression for MS-DOS with CGA graphics didn't really work, but if you want to try it, see here: https://github.com/jani-nykanen/the-curse-of-cga (see "Releases"; requires DOSBox)
I still had fun, though.
Savepoints added. The game uses localStorage for saving, no cloud stuff. The title screen is a placeholder, will have some fancy background later.
I added that "respawn" function to make sure the player won't get stuck...
