It's a Cube
3 years ago

I've released an update for It's a Cube! This version mostly adds API support, but I also cleaned a lot of the code and made a few other technical improvements.


Changes since previous version (see changelog.txt for more information):

- Added Game Jolt trophies and scoreboard support

- Technical improvements

Very unfinished but the backdrop image, as it is in this video, is already leagues better than what I had last weekend! I'm going to work on it incrementally over the coming weeks as I work on implementing the stages idea I talked about before!

I've worked out a process for drawing bushes that I'm using for the backdrop! First I draw the branches, then "paint" where the bush texture will be, copy it's alpha to a new layer in white, then draw it's shadows in a layer over the bush layer.

I'm working on a main menu now! I think it's coming along quite nicely so far. Oh and I've also improved the model for the cube as well.

AAH! SPIDERS!

Many Improvements to the main menu, and I added a floor texture and improved the level behind the cube!

You see I was GONNA get to work on the procedural enemy wave generation algorithm but then I remembered I still haven't drawn a defeat animation for the spider so now I'm working on that instead. 🤣

Doing it in layers starting with the web as usual.

My next project! It's still in the early stages of development, but I have a tech demo available for download.

I updated the algorithm that handles the timer gradually decreasing as the game progresses! Before, it would decrease by 1 second when the player scored certain amounts, but now it gradually decreases according to a multiplier each round.

I'm working on an update for It's a Cube! I've implmemented Game Jolt's API and added 4 trophies and score saving.

Today I added a glimmer effect on the ground that plays when you score! I think it looks really nice and I wanted to share!
