Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").

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.

A very bare-bones shop that, however, mimic shops seen in some NES & GBC games. The prices are temporary. Speed boots not implemented yet. If you can afford something, you'll buy it by touching it, and if not, then you can walk over it with no effects.

Stuff

Devlog is coming once I draw the logo and create the game page.

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

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!

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.

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.

(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.

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