Ok, I know I said things would be slow in the game summary, but I didn’t expect things to take THIS LONG to get basics done. Character movement is basically complete, there is a semi complete dash capability, attacking will be easy enough to figure out, but I’m waiting until I add enemies for that, and the first room is basically done. I’m going to be adding movement in wall and floor sprites at some point, it just takes a long time for me to make a sprite, so I’m waiting on that until at least one out of ten ‘areas’ is complete.
Now on to the more in-game related news.
GAMEPAD WILL BE SUPPORTED!!! WOO HOO!!! The code is already done.
Anyway… there will be ten areas not including the hub. equally split between parkour, puzzle, and bosses, with the last one being a grueling mix of all three. I’ll upload the music for the cave systems once I finish this update.
Secondly, this game will not be an entirely horror title. It will be made to be stressful, but I’m not entirely focusing on scaring people here. That being said, there will be a two layered world. One more peaceful version, and one that’s pretty malicious when it comes to enemies… and occurrences. Due to that fact, I’m going to be a little mean, and make sure every area has places where newly learned abilities create new paths through both worlds, leading to treasures and bonus battles. That means tons of achievements too, if I can do that.
Lastly, I want to place a warning. This game is made as a canon story for something I’m currently writing. In fact, it’s back story for a character in a series on Wattpad. I don’t really know how many people would be interested, but I’ll slip in a link below to it, and the parent novel it came from, because they’re all pretty interwoven.
That leads to one other fact, If at all possible, there will be eight games in this series, one for each character that needs a starting point. This is a pet project, so I’m writing text versions for each when they are finished.
Thanks for listening to me rant like a madman!
