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?
Next up
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!
Slow progress is better than no progress, eh?
I added two new enemies (fish & hat), chests and life containers. And pause screen. Plus a lot of bug fixes you cannot see in the gif.
Note that this is still the test area.
E P I C You might think that since I have final boss done, the game is always finished? Well, yes and no, I still haven't started doing the actual game maps, I have only test areas...
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)
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.
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.
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:
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...
(don't let the video "thumbnail" confuse you, this is a new video!)
Hey cool, video uploading is up (heh) and running again!
I added intro sequence and intro map to the game. The story is going to be a bit more minimal than I originally planned.
Stuff
Devlog is coming once I draw the logo and create the game page.
