by the way, if you like to playtest my game, this version is now public https://www.patreon.com/posts/mx-little-moo-10-57350656

Gameplay wise it's nearly the same as the current version (though no high scores are saved)

Give it a try if you like!

Today's work:
Miniaturizing the tileset from yesterday and adding to it. Stuff is now 8x8 and I made a complete game mockup to see how colors work and also do some spacing work, etc
Not 100% sure how to progress from here, as I can do several things. We'll see
#gamedev #pixelart

So, done some prototyping. Good thing I have older games, I can just adapt to new concepts (sometimes).
This is Amoozed, but I use a copy of it for prototyping.
I picked that game, because it's a sort of maze solver game and mazes are the base for this new game.

Difference is though, I don't want dead ends. So I played around with what I can do.

Looks like, simply removing dead ends (connect them to the maze) is pretty effective actually.
Here are some examples
#gamedev #pixelart #pico8

So, work of two days together.
A lot was added, that won't fit here...
Highlights:
- UI and related things
- super attack, with drawback
- death sequence

I was thinking of adding another enemy, but it's enough and also today is my b-day
#gamedev

because file too large again, here the YouTube video

Another day, more progress.
Enemy drop items (pickup is wonky though, need to decide how to solve that)
Also you can charge up shots now, which do more damage. But you are less agile while charging.
You can also hold charge infinitely

#gamedev

YT video because file too large (900kB too large...)

Another day, more progress. Also I didn't ate while working on this for 5h, whoops....

Anyway, stuff to mention:
- mines won't be the only enemies, there will be more
- other means of interactions will be added
- more to explore and what those nodes mean!
#gamedev

So, did a bunch of work today, you can (somewhat) see here.
Mostly rooms have types now, also enemies. The mechanic for enemies don't work yet.
The filled room, is the boss arena. There is a healing spot planned before (think Moonlighter)

Think of them as a way to locate the boss chamber, but also to get some healing.

The nodes, you see in the middle of a room, will have special purposes

Other enemy types and battle mechanics will follow soon
#gamedev

So, some update again. I changed a bunch in the meantime!
Movement is now smoother and allows for more action.
Doors are removed and replaced with beams.
Not sure about combat, but I have some plans!

Beams are supposed to lock you into rooms.

#GameDev

Little bit more update. Didn't get much done today, but I think it's significant.

This time with sound!
Melee attacks will damage everything one tile next to the facing direction. Likely doing a lot of damage, for the risk of being close.

Also reduced movement speed
#gamedev

Little bit of an update to the current game, I'm working on.

Movement is in, you can travel between rooms. Still lots of work left to do, but it's a good start

#GameDev

Did the forbidden draws.

Little bit of concept for the next game I wanna make. Currently it's just "Alex game"

This is a sketch of the laboratory area. I like it quite a bit already.

Also took inspiration from Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit), as it's going to the same console. (Sega Master System)

#PixelArt #RetroGaming #GameDev

OK, spent two hours on this and gonna say it's enough for today (didn't plan to do anything at all, so it's a win!)

Made level select for Moo game. She's happy for whatever level you pick!

What stuff means, I explain eventually.
It's also a little rough, but that I'm going to smooth out, once I put it in game.

#PixelArt #GameDev

So, worked roughly 40 minutes today. (Not including trying to compose a song and not getting far...)

Anyway, did some animations instead and a level complete screen.
