Engine almost completely rewritten


No changes to the gameplay in this version either. Instead:

  • Rewrote and optimised the game data loader, which was excruciatingly slow.

  • Replaced the ancient and now unsupported version of the Mozilla Spidermonkey Javascript engine with Sami Vaarala’s excellent Duktape. It is actually supported on MSVC6. This means JS32.DLL is now no longer needed.

  • Removed the dependency on the Intel JPEG library (no JPEGs in this game anyway). This means IJL15.DLL is now no longer needed.

  • Lots of fixes to the game engine, even though TrekWars didn’t actually run into any issues.

Just a few more animations to draw. Getting pretty close to the definitive look of the game.

Updated version of a Royal Midnight Snack

The jam has started, let the development begin! And what better way to begin than at the beginning? The title screen has been made and the devlog is up here on GameJolt!

Completed my 2021 Adventure Jam entry with the ridiculously long title: "The misadventures of Jeffrey Jetsam. Shouldn't that be flotsam? No, trust me on this one." - a small, simple and free point and click adventure

Saving and loading added to Escape from DIMANSION

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
