Alpha 0.00.8 Released
Lex's GameA downloadable game for Windows and macOS
FINALLY got a new update out! It's been almost exactly a month.
CHANGES:
The important stuff.
- Redid Lex's physics! Please let me know how they feel.
- Redid the keyboard controls! They are now included in the floating instructions. Please also let me know how these feel.
- There are also many other optional keys on the keyboard which also work, including the mouse buttons. I will eventually put in a cheatsheet so that people can choose which style fits them best.
- Added ledges and made climbing up onto them much faster and easier.
- Changed the health bar to show Lex's face as he reacts to different levels of HP loss.
- Fixed the issue of picked up keys counting twice.
- Made the keys easier to grab.
- Started placeholders for alternate routes for when I introduce the other three playable characters.
KNOWN ISSUES:
Please don't hurt me over these.
- The pause menu is broken. You can pause and un-pause, but the menu is unresponsive. I don't know why yet.
- The loading screen doesn't fade in or out like it should. Be aware that you may not be able to press buttons when you first see them after a loading screen.
- I have absolutely no way to test the Mac version. If you have a Mac and run into problems with the Mac build, please let me know.
- The enemies you're supposed to dive-attack on can be punched.
- Dive-attacking an enemy gets you hurt even when you defeat them (I haven't figured out why yet).
NEXT STEPS:
To be done in the future starting soon(?).
- Start adding the actual story to the game.
- Add the new characters (unlockables).
- Update animations, UI, graphics, etc.
