Okay so, unfortunately i couldn't manage to meet the deadline for GMTK 2020 :( and then got busy with some life stuff, welp there's always next time i guess :p then again i still have something is store for what assets and bits of code i could make during that, but that will be for later.
Having some more time now, it's about time i update Displazer that still need some work to reach completion even though gameplay wise the game is more or less done, oh and i also FINALLY thought of taking new screenshots for the itch page, cause i still somehow had those from the jam build :)
Now for the update itself, most of it is a brand new transition system between screens, i didn't want to simply re use the messy transitions from my previous project so i experimented a bit and managed to make a cleaner better system to have nice swipe or fade transitions between screens, so not much directly visible change but took quite some time to get to a working state.
Second is the item capsules, i felt the game looked a bit static in some aspects so i made a little animation for all of them, however i had to rework this quite a bit cause the first iteration caused performance issues, from playtesting this should be ok for now.
So that is that for this update, first on the schedule next would be to have another music track done, since there's still a repeat track for 2 levels out of 4. Then before working towards a bit more level i'd like to take a bit of time to experiment on some small features which i feel would be cool to make it complete, nothing big though to avoid the dreaded feature creep, plus i'm still very much a beginer dev ^^'
Sorry for the long lack of updates, and this long post, hope you'll enjoy the update, cheers :)
Without further due here's the changelog for recap :
