FINALLY....We have the 2nd chapter in this game's development.
And the Award Goes To....
I added a credits screen for when you run out of your 9 lives! I won't post any shots here so you all can see it yourselves.
But it's a little level itself that you can view people who's work is featured and a cat to represent them
Sleepy Kitties
Following a credit screen, a main menu was inevitable with this update.
I wanted it to feel "Final Fantasy" in a sense, plus I figured sprinkling in a little lore would be nice too. Since you're just a cat sleeping in their box (well technically there's no sleeping animation yet).
I also added in a little options menu that has volume, window style; and input remapping! I'm not sure what you're going to remap the buttons to for a general platformer; but you can!
I also added in a market where you can unlock and equip new cats and costumes! Costumes will eventually have impact on gameplay. And there'll be more, there's only one currently. I spent more time getting this ready then making art.
I might commission a good artist to do the artwork; currently the budget of $0 is the issue. I'll have to see if I can work out a deal with someone that's good for us both.
Go in with a SPLASH!
Yeah I added in a splash screen, I want to make my splash screen memorable eventually. But for now it just works.
New Level Blocks; New Ways to Die!
I've added a total of 10 level blocks that can generate. I have plans to make these more unique even with a low count of them.
But with these new level blocks I also added in some new ways to get around; and new ways to die.
These couches give you some bounce!
These toy blocks can change color with a few options and they....kill you!
There's also these new fancy coins! You'll use these to unlock new cats and costumes.
There's a chunk of new stuff! And it'll always be expanding from here on.
New Look for Death
The life bells now also have a new look!
They were a little too 1:1 with the Super Mario 3D World cat bell. But I still kept the eyes since I like the whimsicalness they give.
Chapter 3 Leak?!
With all this in the game what am I aiming for the next update?
A new area! A variation system! AND MORE POLISH!
This will take a few but I already have a timeline for it. If I hit each deadline for everything in the task list this update should be up for you all next Wednesday!
