ROCKET LAUNCHER!

This is the last power-up I'm making for the "First Playable" version! It shoots exploding rockets at random directions, at a fixed time interval!


I initially had coded this missile as following the closest zombie but figured it was too powerful, and this made the power-up too hard to balance. So now this power-up fires the rockets at random angles.

Here's the rocket inside Construct:

(The smoke looks kinda weird because it's not supposed to remain still in the air haha)

The time at which it shoots the missiles is every 8s for the first tier of this power, I made the game shoot them at a higher frequency for the gif only.

This missile explodes in contact with a zombie and uses the same explosion object as the grenade.

In case you folks are curious about this sort of thing, here are all the events I used to program this missile:

That's it! So long everyone!

DEAD DRIFT UPDATE!

I'm still working on the missions, and it's been harder than I anticipated. However, I was able to make missions work (even if the UI is a little janky)!

NEW UI PLANNING!

Since the beginning of this project, I've done its UI in a somewhat haphazard way. Now it's time to get some things right, so I'm planning to fix some things about its user interface.

Everybody talking about the Super Mario movie and here I am thinking how cool it would be if they made a movie out of THIS game...

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?

QUICK UPDATE on the MISSIONS SYSTEM!

Sharing the pixel art I did for a personal project I never got to make. The player would control an enchanted chest that had to investigate the disappearance of its wizard master!

What do you think? Would this had looked cool?
