Hello again people

Well, if you noticed, I've been working on the new animations for the game. If you remember the game is supposed to be a tribute to the 16 bit platforms on the Genesis/Mega Drive and SNES, so I kinda don't need a lot of animations. I guess I just want more expressive more animations, I guess.

Well anyway, I'm done with Draco's animations, so I can work on the enemies that need it. Then I'll work on additional things and FINALLY update the demo, hopefully before the end of 2024. That is if the holidays don't distract me.

Also, yes I'm aware the controls are not the best. And again sorry for not adding the gamepad controls at the beginning (remember, I had control stick issues on the menus). A friend of mind mentioned giving players the ability to map the controls their way.

Here's the thing. I was thinking about adding that, but someone made me feel bad about my game earlier this year, so I decided to discard that. But I'm thinking about listening to my friend than some random user. So mapping controls is coming. BUT, that's way to advanced for me, so it WON'T be part of this update. I'll add that when I work on the game.

Lastly, the update will feature the game controller support, but only for Xbox controllers and the left stick won't be supported, so you have use the control pad, but I'll update that sooner though, once I figure out the menu issue.

All righty that's all. See you guys around and have a good Thanksgiving this week.

Krush (2nd boss of the game), has a slightly new design, making more gorilla like. Krush is a Rhinorilla monster after all.

I thought I should share of some enemy designs for the next level, Monster Cavern. Don't worry only 2 enemies will be in the game. And I'm still deciding

Man, I have BUNCH of monster designs for the next level, but it's been tough for me to make a decision. Thankfully the last two should be my final choice

Level Changes

#draco #dragon #cartoon #indie #update

My thoughts on the Switch 2:

Well, I think it's a nice upgrade of the 1st Switch, and the games are pretty cool too, especially Mario Kart World.

Not happy about the game prices though. Probably gonna just get the console 1st.

Captain Jawfin and his Pirate Crew:

Fishlip, Crook, HippoBlasto, and Tuskular.

The enemies and boss of Pirate Hideout.

I FINALLY decided on the enemies for Monster Cavern

SnotFire, the one -eyed monster, has a bad cold and will sneeze fire.

RockSmash, a rock like monster, will try to smash you and is very durable

Never get up close to Krush, but Draco doesn't seem too worried though.

Draco likes to fool around with his enemies, especially Krush, no matter how dangerous the monster is.
