Game
Hensen Hopper
24 days ago

Just got back from work! Wanna make this quick. I ended up applying polymorphism, again. I turned the backdrop script I had into an abstract class and made UI and sprite-based adaptations of that. I'll explain in more detail after work tomorrow!

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.

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 have created a functional settings menu! I definitely want to spend some more time on the artwork for it but for now I'm satisfied. Everything seems to be working as it should.

Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 18: @Otis_Le_PoOtis is the Creator of Bondee’s Barnyard and posts updates about their dev journey and their work on the sequel!) Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!

Very small change, but I added a darker-green border to the edge where the grass meets the dirt. I think this gives a bit more definition to the transition between the two zones.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Something else?

Tell us in the comments!

Been working on the visuals for the settings menu! I had the idea at the last minute to have the volume slider knobs each be different colored flowers which I think looks really cool. I left some space below them for extra options I may add in later.

I added an animation and sound effect when the player collects the heal-up drop. In the lore, this flower is going to be Hensen's favorite food which is why the sound effect is a crunch like he's bitten into something.

@Miles_Games is a Jolter to Watch! They post great game dev updates about the holiday-themed platformer TEAM SLAY-BELLS! Follow them before the quest ends on December 24 and you'll get Coins!

Working on getting the itch page for Hensen Hopper set up which means creating a separate cover image for the game on itch (different aspect ratio there). I want to publish that with first beta build of the game so I DO need to get a move on with it.
