Weekly Update #1

This week has been targeted on doing a number of the 2-D sprites for the sport. I’ve been engaged on the animations for the principle character in addition to his projectile assault. Also throughout the week, I’ve created the map for the primary space of the sport, the Main Room.

The participant can entry the map by merely pausing the sport. The map covers the entire display screen in order that it is simpler to learn. The blue squares are the rooms within the space whereas the pink sq. is the room the participant is presently in. The participant can have entry to the entire map whereas in that map’s space. The “S” on the map represents save factors and the cranium exhibits the place the boss is or was if the participant already beat it. The circles present Upgrades that the participant hasn’t bought but. There are 4 totally different sorts of Upgrades.

This Upgrade is the HP Upgrade and can improve the participant’s Max HP by 10 when obtained. There are 40 of those in whole.

This Upgrade is the Super HP Upgrade and can improve the participant’s Max HP by 50 when obtained. There are 10 of those in whole.

Now when you’ll excuse me, there is a mattress with my title on it .

Weekly Update #3 & #4

First off, sorry that there was no replace for week #3. Real life + Snow Storms + Home of the Nerds Game Jam (Which was a great expertise, I’d advocate doing a Game Jam your self) + Just laziness = Slow improvement and sluggish updates.

With that stated, right here is the gameplay video I promised (sorry for the standard of the video):

In different information, I lastly selected the title for my sport. It’s referred to as:

In the final 2 weeks, I’ve tweaked with the controls and began engaged on the degrees.
I additionally made a typical enemy the participant will run into:

He will both look left or proper (relying on the participant’s location) then he’ll cost up his shot and hearth.

Also accomplished are the sprites for the primary boss, a wall dragon:

He will come out of the wall, cost his shot whereas aiming on the participant, then he fires and goes into the wall. Since you don’t have any approach of attacking but, it’s a must to survive till the boss calms down and stops attacking you. This boss offers you the vitality ball assault once you “beat” it.

 
Hope you may forgive me for the delay however stuff occur, you realize?

Weekly Update #7

More rooms had been made.
More code was scripted.
And textures had been made:

The texture of Breakable Rocks.

The texture of the platform the participant makes (center is see-through).

Also made was a brand new enemy:

While cute in appears, this little man can change into a risk. If the participant is touching this man, then the participant will begin shedding well being. Range is the safer possibility for this enemy however the enemy has 4 HP, which suggests one punch will destroy it (when you plan the punch proper).

Weekly Update #8

This week I labored on extra enemies and their sprites. I solely have one new enemy to indicate, the Clock Cannon ghost:

The physique of the Clock Cannon.

The arm of the Clock Cannon.

How the Clock Cannon works is that the arm will goal in a path, relying on the time it is on, after which hearth a fireball. After that, it can go to the subsequent time and repeat. For instance, the arm will goal up at 12 then hearth a fireball then goal up and sightly proper at 1 then hearth one other fireball then goal sightly up and proper at 2.

“Hey Mr. Weakfoggy, why is there a clock enemy in your sport?”

Enemies on this sport are ghost which have change into offended and remodeled right into a type of their selection. When the participant destroys an enemy, he’s actually calming the ghost down and when the participant touches the spirit that pops out of the enemy, the spirit is therapeutic the participant somewhat then going away. So the ghosts who change into the Clock Cannon enemies thought “Hey, you realize what I needed to be for years? A clock that may shoot fireballs.” (I imply that is what I need to be after I develop up).

Wow, as much as the tenth replace already! The time certain flew by rapidly. Anyways, extra sprites:

I spotted that I forgot to make a portal sprite for the principle character’s teleport means, so right here it’s:

Next is extra sprites for the Plant Boss. The Plant Boss has two fist, one on both sides of the display screen. So this is the sprite of the fist:

And this is the sprite of the vines that the fist are hooked up to:

Also within the combat, when the Plant’s face is uncovered, it can shoot pollen out:

Depending on how powerful the combat is, there may additionally be spiky oranges that develop then fall and damage the participant:

Next is the fourth boss of the sport. Since each different boss within the sport is massive, I needed a boss that was about the identical dimension as Nate and so this boss is an oven that jumps, prices, shoots meals, and makes use of his portal to teleport himself and his meals:

These are the meals that the boss can shoot. They’re not rotating, they face upward however then flip when coming down:

My progress on the sport might change into slower any further (life stuff) however I’ll attempt to proceed engaged on the sport as greatest as I can. Until subsequent time, have a fantastic day/evening!
