I now have working Vertical Gates! Also reworked the build code so that the Wall parts are automatically built either side of the Gates, saves me having to work it out each time.

Mob locks work! Activating the Beacon locks the gate and spawns mobs, killing them all grants a reward and unlocks it letting you out again!

WOOP!

Another month down, and another chunk of game done! I hope you're all doing well and having a great new year so far!

I don't feel like I got as much done as last month (weird since that was holidays XD) but I'm happy with my progress!

Adding a key system for Gates and stuff (on top of the existing Button system which is now over-rided by keys) I can also have other conditions like a specific number of enemies need to be killed before they open.

Need to fix the collision detection.

some goblin pixel art

Updating water, added some stuff to make things more visually pleasing. I think I need the tint back or maybe to try different blending. Kinda want to try a displacement map again instead of the directional movement? Need to find that again. (laptop gif)

#GJAsks I thought it would have been Tennis for the Atari 400 which my dad had, but I can't find evidence of the cartridge, so I'm gonna say Joust which I still have from back then!
