Had a text issue where the boxes weren't drawing the right size. Turns out I was setting the sizes in the wrong order. Fixed now.

I am so not an artist but the thing with doing a solo project is you gotta figure the art part out. Here's my attempt at PcJr compatible industrial fans

Another one for the night - added sound effects for these cannons.

#gamedev #indiedev #promosky

What's new in version 0.5.1:

- Keys hover and sparkle
- "Rising Doors" check if you have the required number of gems
- Figured out which room contains the "ending" and now the game has a (rudimentary) end point

Finally got some time to work on this and added two new hazards: cannons and "spikeys." Little clips here show cannon fire without and with shield, and spikey collision on the side vs. from the top.

Struggling to find time to do any work but I found about 30 minutes to throw in some more environment gfx and level geometry

Tightened up a lot of the rooms I've already made and did some work on the newer areas. Lots of new sprites to draw today.

Man real life is getting in the way right now and I'm having a hard time remembering what I want to do with this game, but at least I've added some stuff - enemy behavior respects platforms and gravity now and there are some more platform types.

Now items you collect display the appropriate icons. Kind of embarrassed how long it took me to get that to work at all. Also added some more sound effects! Enjoy

Oh man finally figured out how to save and load all game progress woooooo

Plus some other minor changes. Starting to feel like a real game.

Finally got some saving and loading working in this game - currently only for the UI/options. Also the game now tracks your total gems collected here.

Quick update as I didn't have a ton of time today. Now the game tracks which gems you've collected (all of them will be unique).

A few new things today. Options menu now has an audio level feature. Also made "shields" which protect you from one hit (except for OHKO floors). Fixed an issue with save/load feature and made sure the game remembers which shield you have.

Okay added my first enemy type - hopefully it goes quicker after this. Basically it's a goomba by any other name. Also added a couple sound effects but I don't really like what I did with the jump and land sfx. Will change them asap.

A lot of work done today, but the big thing is the game now tracks which doors you have already opened, so when you re-enter the room they stay open!

ayy made doors. They don't open unless you stand nearby with the right key. The game remembers keys just fine but doesn't yet remember if you've already opened a door (I'll do that later). At least you can reopen easily.
