The first beta version is coming next weekend (or tomorrow). I just played the game through and it works, but it still has a few bugs.
The beta will be public, and the main goal is to make the game stable enough for the, eh, "stable" release.
Next up
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.
Here's what I have done this far. The map is a test map and will be replaced once I have finished programming all the main features.
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.
Now with some enemies!
Don't ask. I needed a merchant character, so I just started drawing something without any idea what would it be. The shop itself is not implemented yet, though.
I added 12 more enemies. I recorded a video only to test Game Jolt's new video upload feature!
(Just kidding, I recorded a video because LICECap stopped working properly through Wine on Linux...)
(don't let the video "thumbnail" confuse you, this is a new video!)
Hey cool, video uploading is up (heh) and running again!
I added intro sequence and intro map to the game. The story is going to be a bit more minimal than I originally planned.
Stuff
I added some treasure chests, NPCs, message boxes, menus and the title screen. They kind of work (health chests work, but all the treasure chests will give you a dummy item...)
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:
