I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!

#metroidvania #pixelart #gamedev

Some new enemies: snake, chicken, pink thing and bat. Also, the missing attack "sword poking," is now implemented.

Some funky hand-drawn animation. And I really mean hand-drawn animation: I drew the frames on a paper with a pencil and then scanned the result and created the gif.

I have added more things to the test map. I have every item needed in the game implemented (including pink sword & arrows shown in the gif), so now I added the chamber where the breakfast is hidden. Collecting it will turn the world to a "dark" version.

The final boss...? Now I just ave to add the ending, then I can finally starting working on the actual game map. I don't want to do the final battle & ending last, so I decided to implement them now. I also added audio, but more about it later (maybe).

Elephant hunt. Combat is still work-in-progress, some details and one attack is still missing.

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

(don't let the video "thumbnail" confuse you, this is a new video!)

Hey cool, video uploading is up (heh) and running again!

I added intro sequence and intro map to the game. The story is going to be a bit more minimal than I originally planned.

Night is coming.

Note that "night" is just used to reveal some objects that are required to collect to enter the final area, it's not a distinct game area.

More about it later.

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.
