Game
A Palace for Fools

5 years ago

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.

E P I C You might think that since I have final boss done, the game is always finished? Well, yes and no, I still haven't started doing the actual game maps, I have only test areas...

Now you can buy items. I might add a confirmation box that asks if you really want to buy that item. Maybe.

Drawing those propellers took surprising amount of time, but hey, now you know how the palace can be flying!

Next thing to add: gamepad support?

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.

Savepoints added. The game uses localStorage for saving, no cloud stuff. The title screen is a placeholder, will have some fancy background later.

I added that "respawn" function to make sure the player won't get stuck...

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?

This happens if I put every 15 different enemies to the same room. At least no one of them is skipping through walls like they used to... There won't be more than 3-4 enemies max per room in the final version, though, this is pure testing.

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

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)

Time portals implemented. And that one enemy that is certainly not stolen from Super Mario!

Version 1.0.0 released

This is the main (stable) release.
