I mentioned some time ago that I'd upgraded the shading on the beetle enemy's character art. Finally got around to putting together a before-after shot of that upgrade! This time, I made gifs for both!

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

Here's a short video showing off the improved gameplay loop and "stage complete" screen. The updated artwork for Hensen and his gun and the honey bullets can also be seen.

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

Alright, I've been thinking... I wanna do a fly-off-screen when you complete a stage in Hensen Hopper (classic shmup stuff) and I COULD just hardcode it into the character controller script but I came up with a more nuanced solution.

I added push notifications that appear when you reach a new milestone! These milestones correspond to the Game Jolt trophies for It's a Cube.

IT'S WORKING! As far as I can tell, the player's score, high score, and difficulty are now all saved to and loaded from a Json file on the application's persistent data directory (which is in the user's program files directory on their computer)!

I'm working on a main menu now! I think it's coming along quite nicely so far. Oh and I've also improved the model for the cube as well.

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.

I DID, in fact, get around to re-shading the art for the spider enemy by the way! The character sprites in Hensen feel a lot crisper as a whole now!
