Game
It's a Cube
2 years ago

This is a double-changelog listing all major changes since version 1.2.1 because I didn't post a changelog article for version 1.3 and released 1.4 on November 3rd. I have no excuse for this, I'll just directly say it. I'm sorry.


What's changed since 1.2.1 (see Changelog.txt in either or both downloads for more details):

- Added a point light that changes color with the ground.

- Modified the ground materials to be a bit easier to look at

- Added a tutorial page that's accessible from the main menu

- Other technical improvements as always

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

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

I'm working on adding in-game achievements for It's a Cube that correspond to the Game Jolt trophies. I also plan to make versions of the in-game art for these to use as trophy icons for the game's page on Game Jolt eventually.

OKAY, here's it ACTUALLY finished! Quite happy with how this turned out, actually! I've drawn this sprite in 3 layers, the wings, the elytra, and the body, which will make animating this thing a lot easier when I get onto doing that.

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.

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.

Finally working on the sprite for the beetle enemy!!! I need to get off my computer and do some stuff right now but I thought the idea of posting a headless (I haven't done the head yet) beetle screenshot was hilarious so I'm doing that first lmao.

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!

I added an animation and sound effect when the player collects the heal-up drop. In the lore, this flower is going to be Hensen's favorite food which is why the sound effect is a crunch like he's bitten into something.

I have two things to show off!!! Firstly, the hints system is now (in enough of a sense for the beta build-out at least) functional, and, secondly, I tweaked the honey-bullet sounds a bit to try to make attacking the enemies more satisfying.
