Game
SCP: The Cycle
5 years ago

Hey there. As I said in my devlog as well, I'm having a little trouble with the cutscene. Currently, it's a couple screens of text, but I'm unsure if this is interesting enough for the player. Should I make a more animated cutscene, or leave it as it is?

Today has been a pretty productive day: i've converted some old sprites (locker, desk, rubbish bin) into the new style. I've also implemented Pathfinding AI for NPC's. It still needs some polish, but it works. I've also been polishing and bugfixing a bit.

A friend of mine wanted to make art for my game. His first task consisted of drawing the sprites for the Mobile Task Force units: Cadet (blue), Lieutenant(red) and Commander(purple). I think he's done an amazing job and I'm happy to have him on the team.

I've made a new dialogue box as part of the cutscene overhaul. This makes it clearer by showing the name and face of the person talking.

Good progress today on porting the game. I've imported all the sprites, sound effects and music and I've implemented player movement, doors/walls and the basics of the save/load system. I've also made a new main menu.

I've been working on the options menu for SCP-914. Each option will affect the way an item is processed.

- Rough: destroys an item

- Coarse: downgrades an item

- 1:1 - doesn't change anything

- Fine: upgrades an item

- Very Fine: random upgrade/downgrade

The most boring part about the art overhaul is finally complete. Let me tell you, it's pain to manually move the sprite 1 pixel each frame from almost 100 frames. Luckily this is all done and I can move on to the rest of the sprites.

I've implemented a simple text cutscene at the start of the first chapter, more cutscenes will follow when I implement more of the storyline.

Added new floor textures for a black carpet, used in offices, and white tiles used in laboratories.

A little teaser for the Hawley Device. The Hawley device, which is based on SCP-507, allows the user to travel to alternate dimensions. This function will have to be used to solve puzzles in the game. More info in the next devlog
