Next up
Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").
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.
I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!
I added 12 more enemies. I recorded a video only to test Game Jolt's new video upload feature!
(Just kidding, I recorded a video because LICECap stopped working properly through Wine on Linux...)
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!
Now with some enemies!
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:
I added some treasure chests, NPCs, message boxes, menus and the title screen. They kind of work (health chests work, but all the treasure chests will give you a dummy item...)
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.
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.
