Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").

I started working on the actual game map (the map you have seen in the gifs and videos was a test map), and here's the progress this far. About 50% done.

Sometimes I start a project but I lose motivation to finish it. This is one of these projects. The source code is available on Github, though, and there you can also play the prototype:

(don't let the video "thumbnail" confuse you, this is a new video!)

Hey cool, video uploading is up (heh) and running again!

I added intro sequence and intro map to the game. The story is going to be a bit more minimal than I originally planned.

Now with some enemies!

Don't ask. I needed a merchant character, so I just started drawing something without any idea what would it be. The shop itself is not implemented yet, though.

Night is coming.

Note that "night" is just used to reveal some objects that are required to collect to enter the final area, it's not a distinct game area.

More about it later.

New features: shop, doors, more items and a working save system.

I just tell you that programming menus is pain. The game code has so much spaghetti I could start a restaurant.

But(t) it works, and that's the main thing!

Who would have guessed, making a puzzle game with metroidvania-like progression for MS-DOS with CGA graphics didn't really work, but if you want to try it, see here: https://github.com/jani-nykanen/the-curse-of-cga (see "Releases"; requires DOSBox)

I still had fun, though.

Here's some #art. You don't have to thank me.
