Now you can buy items. I might add a confirmation box that asks if you really want to buy that item. Maybe.
Drawing those propellers took surprising amount of time, but hey, now you know how the palace can be flying!
Next thing to add: gamepad support?
Next up
Version 1.0.0 released
This is the main (stable) release.
Sometimes I start a project but I lose motivation to finish it. This is one of these projects. The source code is available on Github, though, and there you can also play the prototype:
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.
I still don't have too much time to work on this project, but I'm still going to (try to) finish it by Christmas.
I added a new type of portal that will send the player to the final area of the game.
Time portals implemented. And that one enemy that is certainly not stolen from Super Mario!
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.
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 implemented simple dialogue boxes. Since the resolution is so small (160x144), the dialogue will be short & compact. And yes, it will be skippable.
(I know, not much a progress, but I'm pretty busy writing my master's thesis right now)
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.
