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

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've been working on some proper visual art for the beetle shell when it's equipped! I've also gone ahead and drawn a break animation for it. All I need to do now is actually set all of this up in Unity which I'll probably do on Tuesday.

I've decided to have the statistics behind the quests in Hensen Hopper be handled as actions reported to the quest manager rather than try to write variables into a whole bunch of scripts solely for quests.

I added push notifications that appear when you reach a new milestone! These milestones correspond to the Game Jolt trophies for It's a Cube.

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'm working on a main menu now! I think it's coming along quite nicely so far. Oh and I've also improved the model for the cube as well.

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!

I've updated the UI and HUD in It's a Cube! I think the HUD especially looks a lot nicer now, and I'm especially proud of that, but I've also made changes to the main menu. I've also finished the statistics screen I was working on last weekend.

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!

Oh yeah, also, I updated that algorithm for dash handling I shared yesterday so I can set the dash duration via the inspector window!
