Saving and loading added to Escape from DIMANSION

Okay, it's 2.5 years late, as Escape from DIMANSION was my entry for AdvJam 2019, but I've finally implemented saving and loading in it.

One of the main reasons I hadn't done so before was that I wanted to include a thumbnail and my homegrown engine didn't support the required features for that.

It was actually quite a lot of work to get it right because I'm using DirectX 8 and the stuff I needed is a lot easier in DirectX 9 and later. I chose the hard way and retained DX8 compatibility. The game should even still run on Windows 98 or better, possibly even Windows 95, with DirectX 8 installed.

Just a few more animations to draw. Getting pretty close to the definitive look of the game.

Small but serious bug fixed - game now runs through WINE

@shdon5

The jam has started, let the development begin! And what better way to begin than at the beginning? The title screen has been made and the devlog is up here on GameJolt!

@shdon4

Work in progress

First work-in-progress screenshots

@shdon5

All right, stick a fork in it! It's done!

Completed my 2021 Adventure Jam entry with the ridiculously long title: "The misadventures of Jeffrey Jetsam. Shouldn't that be flotsam? No, trust me on this one." - a small, simple and free point and click adventure
