Uggg, that thing woke me up way too early. Give me a minute to regain my wites. actual typo
…
So today is the last day, and I have 14h 03m to finish a laundry list of stuff.
I gotta finish the levels,
implement some kind of corruption/powerup system, with (?) special effects,
create the ending,
create the beginning,
maybe(?) add GJ times/achievements,
add main menu/options menu,
(!) get scary sounds,
and finish this post.
Good grief, why was I gone all day yesterday again?
Bluh. Okay, one down.

Level is nearly done!
I had a BOSD, so I got outside, ate some cheese, and pet a cat. Luckily lost little work. I’ve forced it into my muscle memory that I save my game before I run it, every single time. Can be very bad if I just screwed it up and I don’t have enough backups, but it helped me this time.
I added some more screenshots to the imgur album and removed the big size map. Too helpful. Expect more devlog updates as I start adding new content instead of just building levels. I did, however, make the heart of Madusa turn static green when it teleports.
I realize now that Madusa’s like slenderman but with more tentacles. And eldrich abomination style. And passing through walls and being made of shadows.
I shall call it Madusa. And I shall retcon this into everything.

Yeah!!!!!!!! ::::D
Level building is finished, the ending is finished, all I need to do is corruption and sounds and menus and options. 8h, 14m to go. Weee.

Unexpectedly on the road again. I’ve temporarily booted into Ubuntu to give you this status update. So far, the corruption system is slowly coming along, but I’ve made the glitching much better.
BUT THE TIME!
AHHH

It’s almost like we’ve gone back to the beginning. I’ve temporarily stripped down the game to allow for perfection of the corruption system.

This is just not going. I feel like I’m about to need to rip the whole thing up and start anew. I can’t take it much longer.
Why won’t this peg fit in my round hole? I know it’s not square!

FinallY! It seems to be working - all I need to do to finish the corruption system is graphical effects and maybe a bit more…

day 3, 17:15 EST

Still. Not. Working.
Why won’t these tentacles work? You’re just sin and cosine, so shape up!
Seriously. Time’s atickin’, and this is just dragging on and on.
Around now, I get stressed out and mildly angry at my lines of code. Then I try to calm myself down, it’s only a game, but then I realize that it’s actually a game about games, and that’s mildly funny. Then I start laughing until I notice THREE HOURS LEFT :| and I freak out and wonder why I’m laughing, so I’m not sure whether I should be laughing or stressing or maybe crying?
Then I derp out. @__@
Around then I dove in the pool and here I am. Ha ha har.

EDIT: aaand now my computer is freezing up. Joy.

Praise the Lord, I got fixed what I had broken! And with no more than 27 minutes to spare.
Main menu done, a lot of other stuff done which I can’t say - I don’t have time. Sounds… soon. Maybe.
