Fixing bugs and spicing the game up.

#draco #dragon #indie #wip #update


Hi everybody, hope you're all doing well.

So as you can see I got another update for the game, I'm gonna try my best to do this weekly if I can. Anyways, I got the hit working pretty cool and if you look carefully you can see the hit effect Draco makes whenever he hits an enemy. Also Draco gets hit if he runs into an enemy or an enemy attacks him like with Brute (that green monster)

Now, I do have problem that I'm trying to sort out. The problem: enemies don't get knockback like Draco whenever he gets hit, the only time that happens when they're not moving, like when the Brute prepares to attack he stops moving and when Draco hits him he gets knocked back. The method I'm using is gonna take adjustments for this to work, I know it's possible, just I gotta keep playing with the code. Other than that, I kinda like everyone looks when they get hit, it's pretty cartoony, exactly what I'm aiming for :D

Anyways, it's starting to look more like game well gameplay wise, I gotta add background and the actual tileset I wanna use for levels, not just those red blocks I've been using and yes those are tiles. And I gotta adjust the sprites a little bit to, I know some are a little blurry, I'll fix that.

And with that that'll be it for the this update. One more thing, if things keep going well, I MIGHT get the 1st level done this summer and I'll release that as demo as planned so you guys can try it out. That is assuming life doesn't get in way, and if I don't get distracted with video games lol.

All righty see you in the next update take care everyone and watch out for the summer heat :)

Normally I don't do this, but today is World Bear Day, and I do have a bear character. Bugsy Bear, Draco's best friend and goofy sidekick.

Man, I have BUNCH of monster designs for the next level, but it's been tough for me to make a decision. Thankfully the last two should be my final choice

Krush (2nd boss of the game), has a slightly new design, making more gorilla like. Krush is a Rhinorilla monster after all.

I'm thinking about changing name of the game to: Draco Dragon. It sounds more original to me and easier to identify. What do you guys think?

Captain Jawfin and his Pirate Crew:

Fishlip, Crook, HippoBlasto, and Tuskular.

The enemies and boss of Pirate Hideout.

I thought I should share of some enemy designs for the next level, Monster Cavern. Don't worry only 2 enemies will be in the game. And I'm still deciding

I FINALLY decided on the enemies for Monster Cavern

SnotFire, the one -eyed monster, has a bad cold and will sneeze fire.

RockSmash, a rock like monster, will try to smash you and is very durable

Never get up close to Krush, but Draco doesn't seem too worried though.
