Absolution

Oh also I literally just added a dynamic camera to my game (you know, the thing where the camera kinda follows the mouse, like in Enter the Gungeon, for example). It looks really cool. I'll have to add the amount of dynamicness as an option

Apart from adding a main menu and updating the in-game menu, I haven't really done much on the game in two months. I've had so many ideas but I need to work more on the game engine. Also I need sprites and I can't draw.

Oh yeah, also I'm making the switch from keyboard-only to mouse+keyboard controls. I like having just keyboard, but mouse controls allow for so much more gameplay stuff that I felt like I had to change it.

I also made a small main menu. It took about ten minutes to make and I will make it look better in the future. Hoping to make it look like the Half-Life 2 main menu, with scenes from the game overlaid with low opacity.

Hey look, it's been almost two months!

The only thing I really have to say is that my code is really bad. Like, almost YandereDev level bad. Only difference is I actually use switch cases.

That concludes my bimonthly update on development. If anyone knows people that can make good pixel art, or good resources for learning pixel art, or if you have an idea for the game, I'm all ears.

See you in another two months, gamers :D

I hope I can actually make this a good game. My lack of programming and art skills mean I may not be able to bring all my ideas to fruition, but I will certainly try my best.

I had the idea that certain accessories could be combined into "Souls", which can be all crafted together into a super-mega-ultra accessory with the effects of every other accessory in the game. Sort of like the Soul of Eternity from Terraria 👀

I have a great idea for items in Absolution: having to craft them at different places, unlocking more recipes as you go. Items would be unlocked forever through finding them or making them. Accessories and armour would be craftable.

There will be a lot of different songs in the game. My estimate is at least 20 different unique tracks, ranging from electronic to rock to orchestral. This is the one thing I actually am confident in my abilities for.
