What's up guys, this is the first devcast about Minimalist Hell. Sooo, let's talk about the next update and what I've done until this exact moment.

First, WASD keys. Some people asked me to add WASD keys support because the game only supports arrow keys. So, it's done. In the next update, you'll be able to use WASD keys to move your character.

Original Soundtracks: Well, the music from Minimalist Hell 0.3.0 is that YouTube free copyright music from Audionautix. It isn't bad, but a few days before the 0.3.0 update, I was watching some videos and, in the middle of a video, I heard the music that I've chosen for my game and, I thought: "Nope, that's not cool, I need an original soundtrack to my game." So I asked in Gamejolt if someone could help me with music, and a few days later, I saw E_r_A_s_E's post asking if someone needed help in-game music. I quickly replied to him, and now we're working together. Also, the new OST that will enter in 0.4.0 is awesome, E_r_A_s_E is very good at making music, and you can check the music on this channel.

New Sprites: The reason that Minimalist Hell is minimalist is that I suck at drawing, and I thought, "anyone can draw good-looking geometrical shapes, right?" I was wrong, I was really wrong, my Shield Boss design was horrible, so I asked in Gamejolt if someone could help me in making sprites, and BloodEagleGames answered me, and now we're working together. Also, the sprites that he made are awesome. He is superb at drawing.

Shield attack: In Minimalist Hell lore (yes, Minimalist Hell does have lore), the Shield boss does have an attack he can create shockwaves by hitting his shield onto the ground, but in 0.3.0, I forgot this detail, and I made his attack be just chasing and smashing you. Now in 0.4.0, this boss battle will be way different, now he'll create shockwaves and will be slower with his shield, and when you break his shield, he becomes faster and will chase and smash you.

Lore: Since we've talked about lore, let's shatter some boss info in-game, in 0.4.0, when you defeat a boss, you'll see an info screen about the bosses. In future updates, I pretend to insert the full lore in the game, but not now.

Hidden Bosses: In 0.3.0, we have hidden battles, but is freaking hard to find out how to access them, I mean, you need to press s, t, r keys together and type DEV in capital letters. Why I did this, just why? That's why in 0.4.0 I changed it, now you just need to go to the credits menu and click on the names.

Mute button: The music in 0.4.0 will be truly awesome, but I understand if you want to listen to your own playlist or don't want to listen to music at all. That's why I added the mute option in-game.

That's what I added in-game so far to the 0.4.0 update, I still have a lot to do, like a whole new level and a new hidden battle, and this takes a lot of time to do. The release date for Minimalist Hell 0.4.0 is January 25, 2021. That's it for this devlog, hope you've liked, stay safe, and drink water.
