Devlogs in Koppy

CAVE LEVEL!

Watch out for spiders... And your step!

Done decorating the cave (with also some slight changes in general), I also changed some of the colours (Koppy's palette now varying from each level, etc.)

This new update might be out soon.

1st level almost done!

Coded a new enemy system: they appear in 10 different places, but in reality there's only 4 of them! (It's not clones, that might be impossible on Gameboy unfortunally)

Preview of the 1st level's final tiles (W.I.P)

I made some changes to the tileset itself too (and might make more).

Preview of the new 1st level: Now in vertical! (W.I.P)

If I put every single "1st level" I made into the game now then I'd have a full set of levels already

Also did some changes to the jump mechanic and did a bunch of optimization.

VERTICAL LEVEL!

Here you have to go up instead to the sides to complete the level (the jump mechanics work much better in this level format!)

This might or might not replace the existing horizontal (normal) levels.

Medals... Stars... All over the place!

Added star collectibles! You can collect 3 of them in each level. (Also updated many screens to include stats on your medals and stars.)

Decorated the level + extended it just a tiny bit. Also added more bird enemies to balance with the many mice enemies in the level

Still going to make more changes to the level (all of those checkerboard tiles at the start might not be visually appealing)

Development flow is at max speed! I'm confident that I'm finally getting closer at properly finishing working on the Demo!

- Remaking the 1st level (W.I.P)

- Repurposed medals to be the end goal for levels

- End level screen (W.I.P)

- And more! Read

Remaking the first level! (Tile set not final)

Some of the feedback I got previously pointed out that the current level design felt too boring/empty, so now I'll remake the existing levels and change some aspects of the overall level design of the game.

Wanted to try adding a small feature, it ended up turning into a death battle against bugs that kept getting more bugged after every fix (it was like cutting hydra heads)

The game also crashed a few times... but it's stable now!
