Current Status and Future Development


Hey everyone!

I’ve just finished up the base of my menu system and I’m now working on the necessary tweaks to make the platforming mechanics feel better. Unfortunately, school started back up last week and I won’t be able to work on this as often, but I’m still going to sit down and work for at least 8 hours a week which should be plenty of time to keep my head on straight for my breaks when I can work on it more often again.

With that being said, I’ve just added a dash to speed up the gameplay a bit since I noticed the end of rounds got a little repetitive with the players having a hard time hitting each other and a speed boost should handle some of that. I also added a powerup which can raise or lower the “cook time” of the bombs which also helps with that same issue since the bombs explode almost immediately when you get down to the minimum.

Next on the list is working a bit more on the wall jumping and regular jumping. Currently, you can just hold the jump button which is fun, but it just doesn’t feel natural. You can also keep jumping forever when you’re on a wall which basically makes you unbeatable so I need to add some sort of cooldown after the player hits the ceiling so this isn’t abused.

For those who are interested, I’ve created about 20 private keys for this current build and I’d be happy to give you one if you reach out!

Thanks as always,
<3 @t0tallyKy1e

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

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)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
