Blinky the Cleaner Bot 0.5.2

Blinky Chapter 1 - The Cleaner Bot
A downloadable game for Windows

Newness: 

  • Voicelines added for most of the machines and the charging station. All done by myself or the wife.
  • All items have had their flavor text redone.
  • The code to advance to more days have been added, making it so that you can now reach day 10.
  • Most upgrades can now be obtained in the game. Talk to the other electronics and see if you can't nab yourself a few!
  • All dialogue is now in place, but not yet spell checked!
  • New upgrade screen has been added to the charge station.
  • Added the "My First Game Jam" logo to the beginning of the game.
  • Added the ending and credits to the game, including one additional art piece for Blinky.
  • Becca will now move around the house. Keep away from her or you will loose charge hiding from her.
  • Most of the gameplay loop seems to be working, I would call this a finished game from a gameplay standpoint. Now for testing and fixing!
  • One new, mostly empty room added that has it's use in the story of the game.
  • Made a counter that will show you how many turns you used to complete the game at the end! Beat that score!


0.5.1:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented progress from day 2 onwards.


0.5.2:

  • Looking at Becca popped an error. Should now be fixed.
  • Back to starting at day 1 as you should. Sorry.


Further plans:

  • Possibly make some better art for Blinky, although I have kind of grown to love my own crap-tastic drawing. I think Blinky will remain my original crap-tastic drawing!
  • Add art for Becca whenever the two of you end up in the same room.
  • Bug and spelling corrections.
  • Balancing the gameplay. I know the routes and upgrades, and therefore can simply finish each day, but players may find it more frustrating. Feedback is very welcome!
  • Make art for your machine friends.


What have I been up to since yesterday? A lot of writing and coding. Recording and editing the voice lines with the wife and making sure the upgrades work as wanted. New artwork has been made for Blinky, and the ending for the game has been added.
