Alive Again 0.2.0 (still not playable)


I just released version 0.2.0 of Alive Again. While this release is still not playable, it should give a slightly better feel for what’s to come.

Highlights:

  • codebase updated to Love 0.9.2

  • a map (and collisions)

  • the map is larger than the screen, so while the player moves around, it scrolls as needed (man, was this a complicated thing to write or what!)

  • a text console, which follows the game events

  • a map implementation as text (this is internal code stuff, but this means it will be easier for me to make maps)

You can get the new version from GameJolt, or from the game’s project site on Launchpad. You will need the Love engine installed in order to run it (as per the instructions on the game page).

Fun stats: the code is now 14,3 kB, and the game takes ~60MB of RAM while running.

Now I need to go a little back to drafting, so I know what I should put into 0.3.0. As history showed, I’m no good with deadlines, so I won’t give any ETA for the next version, I just hope I’ll manage to make it faster than this one. Just stay tuned ;-).

Runestones: from concept to in-game model🗿

Protege el conocimiento, salva la historia. Guardian of Lore es un platformer 2D en el que debes luchar para mantener viva la memoria de la mitología latinoamericana. El juego llegará a Steam el 18 de mayo: https://steam.pm/app/1211740 #ScreenshotSaturday

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

Very ambitious construction going on in Planet Zoo on Plays today. We're tryin'. LIVE: www.twitch.tv/dreamhackplays

Made my first ever animation.

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!
