I'm taking a small break from the development of this project. I have some real-life (what's that)... let's say "responsibilities" that take a lot of my time. I'll be back to this project later this month or on December.
Next up
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.
Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").
I still don't have too much time to work on this project, but I'm still going to (try to) finish it by Christmas.
I added a new type of portal that will send the player to the final area of the game.
Version 1.0.0 released
This is the main (stable) release.
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.
Some funky hand-drawn animation. And I really mean hand-drawn animation: I drew the frames on a paper with a pencil and then scanned the result and created the gif.
And back to development hell/heaven! Next thing to add: items to the shop, obviously.
(EDIT: and maybe edit those chains, they look a little silly)
New things:
- Map (it shows the map of the whole area, but only the solid tiles, not items or anything)
- Blood shards that you need to collect to craft a blood gem
- Better graphics for the title
- ...and some minor things?
Stuff
Devlog is coming once I draw the logo and create the game page.
I'm just posting this to show that, yes, I'm making some progress (not much, but little). I have mostly fixed some bugs and other things that aren't "giffable". I might be able to finish this thing before the next year.
