1.1.0 Update - New menu screen designs + some changes


Waiting for long? Well, wait no more because Brick Breaker X: Deluxe just got a very special update, just pretend that this is an early Christmas gift or something.

What’s up with the update?

A small number of changes, but one of them is the best that you’re ever seen. And the one shown below is the one.

Menu redesign

Well, I always think the previous menu background design is quite too weird at the moment, so I decided to do a slight redesign of the menu backgrounds. Now, it looks very similar to the background in the loading screen, replacing the weird RPG-looking backgrounds from Adventure Mode stages.

But they also looking very digital and futuristic, how about you guys?

This BG change also applies to the Records, Options and Get Online! screens. 👌

(And if you’re a Smash Bros. fan like myself, the menu animations will remind you of your Melee and Brawl memories 😉 and also Kirby Air Ride)

Main menu redesign

Among the menus, the main menu got the most special redesign! Now, the buttons in the main menu will fade from the top each time you enter it! The buttons are also look more organized comparing to the original arrangement.

Revamped help screen

You may know how hard can you use the help screen using the scroll wheel, don’t you? Well, good news, those problems should be gone, for now.

Now you don’t need to spam-roll your mouse wheel anymore, because the help screen is now separated into slides, very accessible on both control methods (dunno about Xbox analog stick yet but it should work too, I guess)

Got enough Orbs to unlock everything? Then no more for you!
Well, you need Orbs to unlock game modes, right? But what if you still collect Orbs when you already have all modes unlocked? Pretty useless since you can’t even use your extra Orbs in the Shop!

With that, the game will no longer spit Orbs from broken bricks once you collected all 40 Orbs as you play. (But I forgot to put a 40-limit to the Orb counter so if you already did it then oh well…)

Some small animation changes…

Well, you may see that the paddle now appears in a white glow as the game starts. It’s a very pleasing work for me, but it can be better, I hope.

That’s all, I guess

I hope you guys enjoy this update, but if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to tell me through the comments.

Next up

Working on the Town Square, and so far, it's going places (literally)

There's more I have to add, including NPCs and more buildings

Update on the Town Square: Added 2 unique NPCs (aka those are not Dropples, but I did add 3 more Dropple NPCs), Trevor the Slitherkin 🐍 and Bonnie the Abeilline ("abeille", bee in French + feline) 🐝

And again, I forgot to share the last clip I shared elsewhere

Map capsules that include the complete map data are hidden around one of the sectors of each location (the map was still unfinished as of the recording of the video)

And second, Yurelumis or ghosts that glow in the dark

They can help the player navigate dark areas like caves, which is where they'll appear

Smitty 2 Emerald Plains Demo (0.2.0) is now here! This update includes but not limited to a new opening cutscene, a reworked audio engine and improved gameplay experience.

2 posts today because I can't stop forgetting about posting stuff on this platform

First, the most recent one, readable signs and change in atmosphere when one sector away from the boss

Added a tileset, with only the road tiles for now I also added more NPCs, and trees

Unique NPCs now have dialogue icons!

Brick Breaker X: Deluxe is coming in June 19th!

Whew, after more than 2 weeks, I'm finally back to this project (taking a bit of break)

Anyway, this will the be last from the Town Square that I'll share, because I want to start working on Penumbra Forest next
