New features: shop, doors, more items and a working save system.

I just tell you that programming menus is pain. The game code has so much spaghetti I could start a restaurant.

But(t) it works, and that's the main thing!

I added 12 more enemies. I recorded a video only to test Game Jolt's new video upload feature!

(Just kidding, I recorded a video because LICECap stopped working properly through Wine on Linux...)

Night is coming.

Note that "night" is just used to reveal some objects that are required to collect to enter the final area, it's not a distinct game area.

More about it later.

Who would have guessed, making a puzzle game with metroidvania-like progression for MS-DOS with CGA graphics didn't really work, but if you want to try it, see here: https://github.com/jani-nykanen/the-curse-of-cga (see "Releases"; requires DOSBox)

I still had fun, though.

Here's what I have done this far. The map is a test map and will be replaced once I have finished programming all the main features.

Stuff

Devlog is coming once I draw the logo and create the game page.

The working title is "A Memory of Owls". I'll start a devlog if this project survives that long.

I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!

#metroidvania #pixelart #gamedev

I started working on the actual game map (the map you have seen in the gifs and videos was a test map), and here's the progress this far. About 50% done.

Version 1.0.0 released

This is the main (stable) release.
