Game
A Palace for Fools

6 years ago

I'm just posting this to show that, yes, I'm making some progress (not much, but little). I have mostly fixed some bugs and other things that aren't "giffable". I might be able to finish this thing before the next year.

Now you can buy items. I might add a confirmation box that asks if you really want to buy that item. Maybe.

Drawing those propellers took surprising amount of time, but hey, now you know how the palace can be flying!

Next thing to add: gamepad support?

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

This happens if I put every 15 different enemies to the same room. At least no one of them is skipping through walls like they used to... There won't be more than 3-4 enemies max per room in the final version, though, this is pure testing.

Some funky hand-drawn animation. And I really mean hand-drawn animation: I drew the frames on a paper with a pencil and then scanned the result and created the gif.

I still don't have too much time to work on this project, but I'm still going to (try to) finish it by Christmas.

I added a new type of portal that will send the player to the final area of the game.

Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").

I implemented simple dialogue boxes. Since the resolution is so small (160x144), the dialogue will be short & compact. And yes, it will be skippable.

(I know, not much a progress, but I'm pretty busy writing my master's thesis right now)

New things:

- Map (it shows the map of the whole area, but only the solid tiles, not items or anything)

- Blood shards that you need to collect to craft a blood gem

- Better graphics for the title

- ...and some minor things?

Savepoints added. The game uses localStorage for saving, no cloud stuff. The title screen is a placeholder, will have some fancy background later.

I added that "respawn" function to make sure the player won't get stuck...

Time portals implemented. And that one enemy that is certainly not stolen from Super Mario!
