Small features.


I decided it was time to work on optimising my code a bit. So I went through and did just that.

On top of that, I’ve added a accurate FPS counter that give you:
Lowest fps
Average fps
Highest fps

I’ve also added a spawn cap per round, for example:

Say there’s 16 enemies and 4 spawners, each spawn 4 enemies, what my system does is caps the spawn rate to 2, so now it spawns 2 for every 4, once the player has killed the 8 enemies that have spawned, the spawners will spit out the 8 that are left to end the round at a total of 16.

Every time you open a door and link the new spawners, my system takes that in to account and adjusts the variables needed! Best part about it is that I got a huge boost in my frames! And the Player won’t get crowded by 100 zombies at a time!

Now obviously that’s just an example, there’s going to be more than 2 at a time (16 from each to be exact, possibly 8 depending).

Again, on top of all that, I’ve fixed a lot of bugs, I had to go all out Sherlock on one of them - Reloading and purchasing a perk whilst not having enough takes 500 points and gives you full ammo.

Thanks to my tester Mrr7782 for spotting that. Right now I’ve got 2 testers all with different specs.

We’re on on Windows so I’ll have to wait to test on Mac. If you have Mac and would like to test please drop a comment and I’ll send you a message!

A quick screenshot. Just released the build to my testers, it’s has a name because it’s special, “The Graphics Patch”. Now, I really need to model those perk machines…

A heads up. I might be silent but I will still be working on the game, I can promise that. Here’s a snippet of code, I only noticed what it read after I wrote it.

Huge update coming soon. For now, take a look at our Christmas icon!

"Thanks guys for endless hours of fun." 👍

Another house i made long time ago.

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
