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.

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

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.

Sometimes I start a project but I lose motivation to finish it. This is one of these projects. The source code is available on Github, though, and there you can also play the prototype:

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.

I almost forgot to implement death. Well, here it is.

Here's some #art. You don't have to thank me.

This is what I did today (picture from Tiled). It still needs to be tested, though. My deadline is next Monday, so two days should be enough time to finish this. There are a few bugs to be fixed, but they are not necessary.

Some new enemies: snake, chicken, pink thing and bat. Also, the missing attack "sword poking," is now implemented.

I have added more things to the test map. I have every item needed in the game implemented (including pink sword & arrows shown in the gif), so now I added the chamber where the breakfast is hidden. Collecting it will turn the world to a "dark" version.
