Update '17


Hi all, apologies for no updates for like forever, I’m not very good at letting people know what’s going on.
I’m working on H (which is be changed to EnHanced) again, I’ll tell you the condensed version of what’s been going on:

-I made H in two years, submitted it to Steam Green-light and GameJolt.
-I work on my current games, Blessed be the Damned and Decay for 2 years.
-H gets accepted by Steam Green-light after 2 years being on it out of nowhere, this gives me motivation to work on it with fixes and adding things.
-The engine I use is one of the worst things ever made so it falls short and kills my motivation.
-A year or two later GameJolt contacts me asking if I’d like to put H up for sale as they are monetising now, this again gives me motivation to work on H/EnHanced more
-Present day, I’ve fixed saving, (it was totally borked last time which was a main reason I stopped last time) and am updating the colours to make them tighter and more vivid.

I’m hoping to get EnHanced all good ‘soon enough’ and put it on here/update this H’s game slot to be for a nominal fee.
I’m not confident enough in it to want to submit it to Steam (as it’s been Green-lite) but I’m being told it’d be a good idea…

I’m in two minds about it because Steam users have a certain expectations about games on Steam and my short, indie 8-bit style platform shooter with a slightly dodgy engine may not be that well received… that and I’m unsure of GameJolt’s conditions with all this (which I probably should have looked up).
On the other hand, EnHanced may get me a lil bit of following so more people will see Blessed be the Damned when it’s finished and also Bad Rats, The Path and The Graveyard are on there so do I have that much to lose? :V

Attached is a screenshot of a newer tile set as well as H and the HUD being updated very slightly to have more colour synergy (thank you ColorWizard!)

A big thank you to anyone who has had and/or still has any interested in H/EnHanced and thanks for reading!
