Next up
I added some treasure chests, NPCs, message boxes, menus and the title screen. They kind of work (health chests work, but all the treasure chests will give you a dummy item...)
Here's what I have done this far. The map is a test map and will be replaced once I have finished programming all the main features.
Here's some #art. You don't have to thank me.
Stuff
Devlog is coming once I draw the logo and create the game page.
The working title is "A Memory of Owls". I'll start a devlog if this project survives that long.
I started working on the actual game map (the map you have seen in the gifs and videos was a test map), and here's the progress this far. About 50% done.
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:
(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.
I added 12 more enemies. I recorded a video only to test Game Jolt's new video upload feature!
(Just kidding, I recorded a video because LICECap stopped working properly through Wine on Linux...)
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.
