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

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.

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

Savepoints added. The game uses localStorage for saving, no cloud stuff. The title screen is a placeholder, will have some fancy background later.

I added that "respawn" function to make sure the player won't get stuck...

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.

Stuff

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

E P I C You might think that since I have final boss done, the game is always finished? Well, yes and no, I still haven't started doing the actual game maps, I have only test areas...

I'm just posting this to show that, yes, I'm making some progress (not much, but little). I have mostly fixed some bugs and other things that aren't "giffable". I might be able to finish this thing before the next year.

The working title is "A Memory of Owls". I'll start a devlog if this project survives that long.

Slow progress is better than no progress, eh?

I added two new enemies (fish & hat), chests and life containers. And pause screen. Plus a lot of bug fixes you cannot see in the gif.

Note that this is still the test area.
