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.

Many Improvements to the main menu, and I added a floor texture and improved the level behind the cube!

I've gotten the defeat animation for the enemies in this game working! Next thing I need is a good sound to complete the effect. I quite like this animation as-is but I'll probably tweak it post-beta. The first beta should be out by new years day!

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.

The new heal-up drop in Hensen Hopper. May not be a cameo of something in one of my earlier games like I may or may not have directly stated I was going to make it in a post I made the other day.

I'm working on adding full controller support to It's a Cube! I'm also taking the time to update the art for the in-game tutorial page, I'm planning to add a tab for controller too. In the meantime, how does the keyboard tutorial look?

My next project! It's still in the early stages of development, but I have a tech demo available for download.

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!
