Misc news + sneak peek + new short game (already finished).

[read article]

Changes:

Reworked grass swaying a bit, it is now less in sync and more erratic.

Added a light for the player when charging a beam.

Slightly increased screen transition speed.

Adjusted misc menu elements.

Fixed 1 bug / issue.

------------------------------------------

So as mentioned before, I recently joined a game jam: https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam-2020

So not much got done on Zordak since I spent all my time on the jam game.

I'll be returning to Zordak soon.

------------------------------------------

So let's talk a bit about the jam game instead:

Y.A.W - You Are Weaponized.

Here is a link to the final product after ~78 hours of work:
https://apapappa.itch.io/yaw

(only available on Itch for now as the game jam was held there)

So the premise of the jam was a limit of 64x64 resolution and I ended up making a sort of old school Doom / Quake hybrid.

Overall, it turned out better than expected, in fact, so well that I'm strongly considering replacing my side project with this.

Download + more info in the link above and feel free to leave any feedback over there if games like these interest you.

------------------------------------------

And in other news, I have now launched a Patreon, so here's some more information for anyone interested in that:

The main purpose of this is so the people who want to support me and my games, can do just that.

All funds will go to improving my life and as such improving the quality of my games.

There will likely be no real benefits for becoming a patron, mostly because I don't really want to gate off any content and as such keep this entirely optional.

I may, however, add some tiny benefits in the future, like for example: "adding a name of your choice to the credits of the game I'm currently working on" which is a benefit right now.

So feel free to take a look at my Patreon page and do with that as you wish, any and all support is greatly appreciated as this is pretty much my only form of income at this moment.

The censored thing on the left in the first image is also a sneak peek of the new Zordak player suit so be sure to head over to Patreon and check that out. ;)
