Game
Breakfast for Doctor Dankworth

6 years ago

This is what I did today (picture from Tiled). It still needs to be tested, though.

My deadline is next Monday, so two days should be enough time to finish this. There are a few bugs to be fixed, but they are not necessary.

New things: - Item drops - Two new enemies (wraith & bee) - A crystal ball that will turn these pink floor tiles on - The test map is now looping, and so will be the main map, too - A test item that can be obtained

Here's some #art. You don't have to thank me.

The final boss...? Now I just ave to add the ending, then I can finally starting working on the actual game map. I don't want to do the final battle & ending last, so I decided to implement them now. I also added audio, but more about it later (maybe).

A very bare-bones shop that, however, mimic shops seen in some NES & GBC games. The prices are temporary. Speed boots not implemented yet. If you can afford something, you'll buy it by touching it, and if not, then you can walk over it with no effects.

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.

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:

https://github.com/jani-nykanen/unnamed-dungeon-crawler

The working title is "A Memory of Owls". I'll start a devlog if this project survives that long.

I have added more things to the test map. I have every item needed in the game implemented (including pink sword & arrows shown in the gif), so now I added the chamber where the breakfast is hidden. Collecting it will turn the world to a "dark" version.

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.

Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").
