#Devruary Sidetracking between different projects at once!

I had this bad habit for a very long time, I'd be working on a game and then weeks later I'd be working on another game at the same time, and then leave the other game abandoned and so on.


Back when I was making games on Scratch & Turbowarp, I'd start a new project, go all on it and then weeks later start another project, move that motivation to that project while I gradually stopped caring for that previous project, and then weeks later start another project, do the same... it kept me always working on stuff that wouldn't even see the light of day, I started so many project but it's like I only ended up at least releasing 5-6 of them (and on a beta/alpha state!) to the public, and then never working on those unfinished projects again.

When I moved to the GB Studio engine, I still felt that urge of sidetracking and starting another GB studio project, I ended up starting 1 extra project but thankfully I kept working on Koppy and didn't go further on that new project.

Now I made myself a rule that I won't start a new game project until at least the final Demo of Koppy is finished! That's how I fought this bad dev habit. (Although I still do some sidetracking in other stuff)

Experimenting with something!

Instead of just jumping above enemies and killing them instantly, you simply get above them and you get to pick how you want to use them (jump or jump higher basically)

I will take a while working in this idea though...

Remaking the first level! (Tile set not final)

Some of the feedback I got previously pointed out that the current level design felt too boring/empty, so now I'll remake the existing levels and change some aspects of the overall level design of the game.

Development flow is at max speed! I'm confident that I'm finally getting closer at properly finishing working on the Demo!

- Remaking the 1st level (W.I.P)

- Repurposed medals to be the end goal for levels

- End level screen (W.I.P)

- And more! Read

Peaches!

Preview of the new 1st level: Now in vertical! (W.I.P)

If I put every single "1st level" I made into the game now then I'd have a full set of levels already

Also did some changes to the jump mechanic and did a bunch of optimization.

Even more Uzi doodles! :3

Medals... Stars... All over the place!

Added star collectibles! You can collect 3 of them in each level. (Also updated many screens to include stats on your medals and stars.)

Wanted to try adding a small feature, it ended up turning into a death battle against bugs that kept getting more bugged after every fix (it was like cutting hydra heads)

The game also crashed a few times... but it's stable now!

The MANY changes I did

- Perfect System

Decorated the level + extended it just a tiny bit. Also added more bird enemies to balance with the many mice enemies in the level

Still going to make more changes to the level (all of those checkerboard tiles at the start might not be visually appealing)
