Game
It's a Cube



2 years ago

I've updated the UI and HUD in It's a Cube! I think the HUD especially looks a lot nicer now, and I'm especially proud of that, but I've also made changes to the main menu. I've also finished the statistics screen I was working on last weekend.


The updated UI can be seen in version 1.5.0:

Changelog:

All versions:

- Overhauled the UI and HUD

- Added player statistics screen showing your high-score and milestones reached (accessable from the main menu)

- Added in-game milestones corresponding with the trophies on the Game Jolt version

- Many technical changes/improvements as always

Game Jolt version only:

- If you reach a new high-score while not signed in, your score in the leaderboard will be updated when you next sign in. This also has the unintentional effect of automatically setting a players high-score in the leaderboard if they switch from the Itch version to the Game Jolt version.

I don't know how well you can see it in this video, but I've coded a dashing mechanic for Hensen Hopper! I plan to have dashing consume a "dash charge," a kind of ammo you can get as you play in the form of enemy drops.

I'm working on an update for It's a Cube! I've implmemented Game Jolt's API and added 4 trophies and score saving.

I updated the algorithm that handles the timer gradually decreasing as the game progresses! Before, it would decrease by 1 second when the player scored certain amounts, but now it gradually decreases according to a multiplier each round.

Psssst. Clyde Slicker here. I've taken control of the Game Jolt account.

Some War Thunder starter pack keys came into my possession. 👀 Comment on this post and I'll give one to ya. Learn more (including how to redeem the codes if you get one) 🔽

I have two things to show off!!! Firstly, the hints system is now (in enough of a sense for the beta build-out at least) functional, and, secondly, I tweaked the honey-bullet sounds a bit to try to make attacking the enemies more satisfying.

Today I added a glimmer effect on the ground that plays when you score! I think it looks really nice and I wanted to share!

I drew a concept sketch of the beetle enemy based on a real-world species called the grapevine beetle. This enemy will NOT fire bullets at the player but instead moves back and forth in front of other enemies blocking your bullets from hitting them.

It's kinda incredible how much simply changing the text font(s) will, by itself, complete the aesthetic of a game, especially in the menus.

I love TextMesh Pro so much!
