Devlogs

Continuing development (also my first devlog)

Dash 'em
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

After wasting couple months not having any measurable progress with my game, I am continuing the development and am also starting this devlog! Depending on what I've seen on the internet, I came to the conclusion that writing devlogs would probably help me keep my progress going. 

Bug I fixed:

After pressing restart ([Space] or [Enter]), the level would restart but player could still move during the red screen phase. It was a really easy fix and I don't even get why I made that mistake in the first place. Level select screen couldn't hold more than 64 levels, so implementing new level select screen fixed it.

New Features:

Bugs to be fixed:

  • Lag spike when player makes the first move in the level.

In the next update, I want to add keyboard control to the ui and more intuitive tutorial levels. right now most of the levels are super hard and I need to work on that as well. The reason for that is that I am pre-generating levels with c++ script, and the script can make hard levels easily but it really struggles with easy one so I need to make a better script or make the levels on my own. Both options are feasible but I am lazy and love procedural generation (even if it's not realtime and the generated levels come prebaked (for now at least)). I also want to make the game vertical for android (and potentially ios).
