Here's some #art. You don't have to thank me.
Savepoints added. The game uses localStorage for saving, no cloud stuff. The title screen is a placeholder, will have some fancy background later.
I added that "respawn" function to make sure the player won't get stuck...
I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!
I still don't have too much time to work on this project, but I'm still going to (try to) finish it by Christmas.
I added a new type of portal that will send the player to the final area of the game.
Now you can buy items. I might add a confirmation box that asks if you really want to buy that item. Maybe.
Drawing those propellers took surprising amount of time, but hey, now you know how the palace can be flying!
Next thing to add: gamepad support?
I implemented simple dialogue boxes. Since the resolution is so small (160x144), the dialogue will be short & compact. And yes, it will be skippable.
(I know, not much a progress, but I'm pretty busy writing my master's thesis right now)
This happens if I put every 15 different enemies to the same room. At least no one of them is skipping through walls like they used to... There won't be more than 3-4 enemies max per room in the final version, though, this is pure testing.
E P I C You might think that since I have final boss done, the game is always finished? Well, yes and no, I still haven't started doing the actual game maps, I have only test areas...
Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").
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.
