Devlogs

My first devlog

A browser game made in HTML5

So as the title says this is my first devlog.  But before I go into what i'm currently working on, i'm going to give some background information. I'm a one-man developer,  I am using corona sdk, my target platform is mobile ( just google play store at the moment). I have published one game on the google play store already. 

That's enough about me. Time to get onto the game.

I have been working on this game for little over a month. While I don't know what type of game it actually fits under, i'm going with: 2d, arena based, minion fighting, boss beating, last as long as you can platformer. 

I haven't come up with a name yet, I'm just calling it my knight game.

You play as a knight that has to fight hoards of monsters and bosses. The controls are simple: You have two buttons for moving, a button for attacking, and a button for jumping.

The goal is to last for as many waves as you can. The waves are set up with two counters. The first one (the "0" in the gif above) is the boss counter. It keeps track of how many bosses you have defeated. It never ends, unlike the second counter (the "1" in the gif) which keeps track of the waves of enemies you have fought. Each enemy wave has multiple enemies in which you have to defeat. The enemy counter goes up to five, then it goes back to 1. After defeating all the enemies in the fifth wave a boss spawns. After defeating the boss it restarts: five waves, a boss, five waves, a boss, etc. It goes on till you die. 

I do plan on adding a bit more to spice things up, like a shop. Where you can buy health potions, damage increasing potions, and such. 

So far I have 3 different minions, and one boss. My plan is to have at least 3 bosses and 3 minions for release, and keep adding bosses and minions in future updates.

These are the minions I have so far,

The Slime.

It travels back and forth across the screen.

The Archer .

This one will shoot you from a distance.

And lastly the Skeleton. 

The skeleton will charge into you, attacking as it goes.

And here's the only boss I have finished: 

The Evil Wizard.

    I am currently going to work on the next boss.
