Devlog 1


Yo yo

I don't think I've ever done one of these so apologizes for how rusty this'll turn out.

I'm just here to share a ton of progress ! whoopee do


THE "OFFICE"

screen_recording_2026-03-24_71936_pm.gif

You guys have seen a lot of the office but currently it's a wip, mechanics have been coded in.

All versions of OJWB (excluding the scrapped EB) have had the only entrance to the office, so that is a big focus of the gameplay, the door.

You saw earlier but the door has stability, 100 to be exact. Every door close gets rid of 2 door stability (which may or may not be tweaked to accommodate gameplay and difficulty better), and the health shows through the face on the door, which has 10 different faces, ranging from 100 to 0 health. This is to prevent excessive spam of the door, and also to make every close of the door more deliberate and calculated.

The door will also automatically open after 15 seconds.

The light will have a purpose but that purpose is still undetermined for the time being.


CHARACTERS (and their mechanics)

So far, 3 characters have been coded, Cube (originally Square), Triangle and Scorpion.

Cube you close the door on, and Scorpion you don't. Failing at either of these results in your death.

Triangle has a more complex and unique gimmick that I won't fully talk about, but he cannot kill you. He will however, WRECK your door stability if you're not paying attention, so be careful !

No one's sprites are finalized as of now, and those 3 are the only ones who have been properly coded.

Others are being worked on though ! don't worry

SCRAPPED STUFF SO FAR

Scorpion originally was WAY more complicated.
If you closed the door on her, she wouldn't actually kill you, and instead initiated a small quiz. If you messed up one question, she would kill you.
She would also get rid of 6 door stability as penalty of closing the door, but that was scrapped too.

All mechanics here are scrapped in favor of a more digestible and balanced character.

There is another mechanic that was scrapped but there is a full possibility I bring it back, so it won't be mentioned as of now.


That's it for now. These won't consistently be posted but a ton of progress will be made in between devlogs !
Also there's a game page ! not complete at all but it's there !

I haven't felt like I've made enough progress for a second devlog, but progress is being made for sure

2 more people are left to be coded and then the gameplay should be pretty much done
