finally some devlog


i'll call it mini-showcase, its too bad to be a devlog

-Dungeon generation-

ill be slowly removing all the credits! first being the dungeon generation

you can't call it a game if you steal code!

ill fix the trees later, cuz its taking too much memory + y sort dont even work

-Characters-

remember when i said that "this month ill be making more original and cool characters"? well i lied because i made more 2 but they look bad

well, the cat magician (Nyeko) got a design update because the old design was ODDLY familiar to MagiCat

but i was thinking... what if all characters came from medias... MAYBE... like the cat magician would come from a anime, that weird yellow cat would come from a Undertale parody or something

also i was thinking of a character from a tower defense game

-Jumping-

a jump mechanic has been added! the AI can also jump, but they are kinda dumb

NOTE: when i say AI, i don't mean ChatGPT or anything like that. the "AI" is a pathfinder, with the ability to jump and run towards you (please don't hate me)

-Music, sound effects and such-

literally ALL the instruments used will be a edited version of SGM Soundfont. why? idk how soundfont copyright works, plus i like making something custom
maybe with some exceptions, like a amp guitar, rock drums...
also i think i uploaded a new song for the game

-Lore/Story-

it does have a sort of story... and idk how i would show it in-game, but basically:

  • you died while sleeping, that's why:
    - its all day time
    - you can't have a game over, or die again

  • as said before, characters would come from medias

  • you are not the main character!!! its like that you are an spirit and you control the bunny monster

  • there will be some "void places", places of a forgotten memory
    for this one, i was thinking that you could actually recover/remember these places, maybe by playing a specific game, watching something, eating something...

  • didn't i tell that the entire world is your dream? ops

  • star = bad
    - if you kill someone, they turn into a star
    - and so, if you kill a lot of monsters (aka, the middle to the end of a genocide run), the night would come!!
    - i think this is my most original idea that i got

  • so there is a character that i REALLY want to make it a human
    - its the one that has white eyes, orange hood, eevee-like ears...
    - the plan is that this character hides himself/herself from the monsters, idk why, ill be thinking about that
    - at one point they would reveal, only if you choose him/her as partner

-Languages-

as you may know, i am brazilian, and i REALLY want to make the game have a support for both english and portuguese

BUT problem is... portuguese loves a word to have both male and female forms
this include: monster, bunny/rabbit, big eared, human, friend, buddy, partner...
(in portuguese, bunny and rabbit are the same thing, we just remove that bunny is young and rabbit is adult)

so i came with THE solution:
what if half of the monsters call you in male form, and the other half call you in female form

G O O D

this would be exclusive to brazil's portuguese language

i'm not gonna call Leporidae just to hide the gender
neither gonna make "As you can see, he(she) is the only and bla bla bla."

impressive, ins't it?

first one - early 2024 second one - mid 2024 third one - now, 2025

that took long enough

new character, huh..?

uh huh random japanese characters??

i decided to put these in because yes also i love cave story

(i dont know how to make logos, specially on how to make that snes vibes logo)

edit: i dont know japanese, thats probably the closest to dreamerluster

i've took a break at coding dreamerluster so i can make the "ocs" art

go check it out: https://www.deviantart.com/tartarsse1/gallery/95430653/dreamerlu…

oh, and fun fact the way that i coded the new battle system, 5 enemies can be battled at once

no worries, you can run from an encounter, right?

ok, which style? (naming from top left to top right, bottom left to bottom right) 1 - normal 2 - no bezier curve 3 - no outline 4 - a children draw 5 - n64-like model 6 - 2d sprite

i fixed her! edit: yes its still bad, but its good enough for me

new logo yay hopefully not update again (yes ik i made a logo a week ago, but i saw another logo and decided to make something like that)

something that i wanted to show

my art skill "evolution"

if i ever said that i finished the battle engine, it was a completely lie

missing: - spare, game over, effects (e.g froze, burning, poisoned), enemy animations, more attacks, weapon animations, abilities(?), jump(too hard)

im doomed
