It's a Cube

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

The beetle shell is now fully VISUALLY implemented! Next thing on my list is a unique sound for Hensen equipping it.

I wrote a modular language system! I can now add new entries with definitions in as many languages as I please and all from the inspector window in the Unity editor! This allows me to potentially have Hensen Hopper translated to other languages easily!

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!

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

This is a much larger (in terms of resolution) video than I've shared here before!!!

This is a full round of Hensen Hopper in it's current state! I mainly recorded this to showcase the new wave difficulty curve algorithm I've been working on!

I'm working on adding full controller support to It's a Cube! I'm also taking the time to update the art for the in-game tutorial page, I'm planning to add a tab for controller too. In the meantime, how does the keyboard tutorial look?

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.

Okay, so I've gotten the functionality for the beetle shell render over the player working! (using the first 3 frames from the beetle shell collect animation as placeholder sprites, these ARE NOT the final sprites)

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.

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