CHEAT CODES
>EN<
I grew up with old gaming consoles like NES and PSX. And games for those consoles was full of cheat codes. Not only for the status bust but for everything you can think of. And I want to recreate those good old days by adding tons of useless but fun cheat codes. There will be some useful cheat too, of course Here is how the cheat codes will work in Code: Evolved. The player can activate cheat code box at any moment while playing the game and then can type in any cheat they want. How can the players discover cheat codes? By exploring the stages. The more % of the map is discovered, the more cheat codes will be shown in the list in the inventory menu. Not all cheat codes will be shown in the game. There will be few cheat codes that players must discover on their own. For now, I added 47 cheat codes in the game and here are few of them: Big / small head mode, White owl / Black wolf, Evil semidori, Pot mode (pots will appear at every stage and you can break them and exchange them for blood and exp on the save crystal) , Midori faces (every Midori will have a weird face), and so much more... Of course, if you want to see some cheat codes please let me know
>SR<
Secam se dobrih starih vremena kada su postojale sifre na igricama koje su bile beskorisne, ali su bile zabavne da se koriste (NES i PSX igrice su bile najpoznatije po tom pitanju). Iz tog razloga resio sam da dodam sifre u Code: Evolved igrici. Postojace sifre za jacanje statistika ali uglavnom ce se sifre svoditi na promene izgleda glavnog lika i protivnika, dodavanje predmeta po krugovima i tako dalje... Na kom principu ce se koristiti sifre? Igrac ce u bilo kom trenutku tokom igre moci da aktivira CHEAT BOX gde ce moci da ukuca i aktivira odredjenu sifru. Kako ce igrac znati sta treba da ukuca? U inventaru glavnog lika nalazice se spisak sifri koje igrac moze da aktivira. Sto igrac bude otkrivao vise % mape to ce spisak sa siframa biti veci. Neke dodatne sifre nece biti prikazane u listi i igrac ce morati sam da ih otkrije. Za sada planiram da ubacim 47 sifre a evo i neke od njih: Velike / male glave mod, Bela sova / crni vuk, Zli Semidoriji, Cupovi (u krugovima ce se pojaviti cupovi koje igrac moze da razbije i kasnije njima kupuje odredjene bonuse na kristalu za memorisanje igre), Midori faces (svi protivnici ce miati cudne face), itd... Naravno ukoliko zelite da dodate neku sifru mozete mi reci u komentarima
How far in development is Code: Evolved? Check out (and follow) Trello table on http://mmmgamesindie.blogspot.rs/
Making Code: Evolved is a long process. This is by far the biggest game I worked on. It's a big road ahead of me and I wish to thank you for your support so far and to thank you for your patience. In the meantime here is a Code: Evolved trailer 3 - small cinematic trailer made for #screenshotsaturday

#CodeEvolved They are back from White Wolf 1! SPFM (skeleton propeller fish midories) :) http://mmmgamesindie.blogspot.rs/
I'm working on a USER MANUAL (on English and Serbian) for Code: Evolved today :) https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/
New button added on official Code: Evolved and White Wolf page! MIDORI ENCYCLOPEDIA There you can find all you didn't know about Midories. For example: Did you know that Midories from White Wolf and Code: Evolved are not the same type of Midories? https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/p/midori-list.html
Code: Evolved - White Wolf 2 seatback
I finally had a chance to test Code: Evolved on few computers other than mine. The result was not great. While the game works fine on almost all computers, the game revealed extreme lags on Windows 10 system. Luckily I foud the reason for this, but the bad news are that fixing this issue will take few days.
I would also like to use this opportunity to share this problem (and how I fixed it) with anyone who made games in Game Maker and it has the same issue with Windows 10.
Code: Evolved is made in Game Maker 8 (an old program I know but for now that is all I can afford). The problem is in a frame rate setup in the rooms (room speed). I set frame rate in every room to be 100. That way game looks more fluid. And this system works on Windows XP, 7, and 8 (the game is not tested on Windows Vista). Windows 10, however, has a problem in synchronization with Game Maker 8. If the room speed is not set on 30 or 60, Windows 10 will create extream lags.
The solution? I need to set room speed in every room on 60. This creates another problem. Now the game looks like it's running in slow motion. So I need to speed up every animation, every bullet speed, every hit detection cooldown, every effect in the game. And the game is already half done so there are tons of objects and effects. I am not angry about this too much because it's mostly my fault. I should have tested the game on every Windows in the beginnings of the development.
What this all means for Code: Evolved development? A few days of the setback... and hopefully (if everything else stays fine) that will be it. After that, I will continue work on the last stage for Neo Semidori Wolf and in a month or two, the Wolf side of the story is going to be complete.
I want to thank you all for your patience and to thank you for following Code: Evolved development. I am working hard on this game with a ton of love and hopefully, the game will not disappoint.
Also, I hope that my experience will help someone with the same issue. And I will try to upgrade myself soon with Game Maker Studio 2 so I can avoid future problems :) And I'm sorry that this news was more focused on the development problems instead of showing a new stuff in the game.
See you all soon with more news and in the meantime check out a 40 min. demo (3 wolf stages and 1 owl stage) on:
Official page: https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/
After 3 days of major bug fixing, I finally see the light at the end of that tunnel. Hopefully, this is going to be the last day of work on Code: Evolved Windows 10 bug. What was the major problem with the game on Windows 10? I already wrote on this subject. So you can read all about that on http://www.indiedb.com/games/code-evolved/news/cod...
While all this was happening I was contacted by voice actor Marsuves Black http://www.indiedb.com/members/marsuves576
He wanted to voice characters in Code: Evolved game. Thus Dreamwalkers voice is born :)
The game is in English and Serbian but for now, I can only afford voice on English. Also, Dreamwalker will have voice only in intro sequences. If you like what you see and hear you can help me adding Serbian voice over. How? By buying a bundle with 4 of my games on https://itch.io/s/6549/code-evolved-voice-over Any financial support is welcome. Thank you in advance! :)
Starting tomorrow I will be back on track and hopefully, in 2 months I will have Neo Semidori Wolf side of the game done. See you all soon with more news and thank you for the patience :)

#screenshotsaturday
It's time to talk about influences on White Wolf world. There are three major influences. And all 3 are games from PSX.
First influence is an obvious one... Final Fantasy 7. The whole concept of life energy is based on life stream in FF7. But consequences and the way that life energy works in White Wolf is much more different than in FF7.
Secund influence is Tomb Raider games. The way that the world and stages are designed. White Wolf and Code: Evolved are Metroidvania type of games but the player doesn't explore one big world. Instead, every stage has his own key items, beginning, and ends. And every time you enter the stage key items will be reset. This way the backtracking is much shorter (the same purpose teleport have in big world Metroidvanias but I think this is a much better way). Also, when you get to the end of a Metroidvania game everything is open and you don't have much more things to do. Whit this system every time when you enter the stage you can explore it again.
The third influence is the best RPG ever created (in my opinion). Parasite Eve. I love the stories that explore the dark side of biology. And Parasite Eve is a master of that. It's a perfect blend of fantasy and sci-fi. This game didn't directly influence on White Wolf world but it inspired me to make dark fantasy sci-fi Metroidvanias in general.
So, that are 3 big influences :)
As for the Code: Evolved current progress, I am working on a boss fight in stage 7 and on stage 7 in general so, see you all soon with more news :)
Code: Evolved digital art by Andrija Drenovakovic.
The first half of the game is almost done (Neo Semidori wolf side of the story. So, let's talk about gameplay. Code: Evolved in his core is a Metroidvania type of the game with very dark fantasy/sci-fi story. But there are a few things that separate it from a usual Metroidvania games.
TWO PLAYABLE CHARACTERS - Game will have two playable characters. Neo Semidori Wolf and Neo Semidori Owl. But every character will be game for himself. Wolf and Owl will have their own set of weapons, stages, and story. Thay doesn't even exist at the same time. But which story is the first in Code: Evolved timeline? That... I can't tell you :) Also, the player will be rewarded with a bonus after credit scene if he beat the game with both characters.
PLAYER WILL PURCHASE UPGREADS AND ABILITIES WITH EXP - Exp in the games is nothing new. You kill enemies and you gain experience points. But, in Code: Evolved you won't be leveling up. Instead, EXP will act as currency that you can spend in your inventory by buying new special attacks or upgrading your stats.
CHAPTERS / STAGE DESIGN - Altho Code: Evolved is a Metroidvania game player will not explore the whole world at once. The World is divided into chapters and every chapter has his own key items (that will be reset every time you play that chapter again). This way player will not find himself in a situation where he needs to do a massive backtracking to progress. And also he can explore a stage again even he found and unlocked everything in it (since key items are reset).
CHEAT CODES - This is a reward for every player that explore stages thoroughly. The more % of the map you unlock, the more cheat codes you will unlock. Not all of them will be useful of course but most of them will be just for fun (no head, no body, pot mod, evil face, big head, enemies scream...) I loved tons of fun cheat codes in old PSX games and I thought it would be nice to include something like that (as a reward for persistent players) in the game.
KNOWLEDGE - If you wish to find out more about Code: Evolved the world you can find white crystals that will expand your knowledge and you will be able to find out more about Midori, Semidori, Life energy, Dreamwalker and much more by entering into inventory.
TWO BONUS STAGES FOR EACH CHARACTER - Speaking of white crystals, if you collect them all you will unlock a bonus stage. But if you manage to kill all 5 side bosses you will unlock a second bonus stage where you will fight most difficult boss in the game and as a reward, you will get one of the most powerful weapons :)
Beyond all this, there are also some standard features like map function, joystick support, joystick mapping, 2 languages (English and Serbian), 5 save slots ... I am working hard on this game and hopefully, it won't disappoint. In the meantime, you can check out DEMO and tell me what you think. Every feedback is welcome :)
Code: Evolved game story is told from the perspective of two main characters. Neo Semidori Wolf and Neo Semidori Owl. Each of this characters will have their own stages and weapons. And today I finished making the last stage for Neo Semidori Wolf and started working on final boss stage. This means that the half of the game is done... right? Not really. Each character has his own 10 stages open for exploration. But only eight stages are the story stages. This means that I still need to make two bonus stages for players who have discovered all the secrets in the game. On the other hand, I already finished the first stage for Neo Semidori Owl when I made Code: Evolved DEMO. So the game is very close to being 50% done.
This looks like the game is going to be in a development for one more year. But that is not the case. Every major thing for the game (enemies, weapons, story...) is already completely done for both characters. That means that I only need to make stages and boss fights for Neo Semidori Owl. Hopefully, the game is going to be done by the end of the year, or at the beginning of the next one.
You can check out trello table and find out exactly how far in the development the game is and what still needs to be done https://trello.com/b/Dm1ACF4e/... :)
In the mean time check out Code: Evolved DEMO (3 wolf stages and 1 owl stage) and tell me what you think and see you all soon with more news. http://mmmgamesindie.blogspot....
Just one last thing. This is my first commercial game (and hopefully my first game on Steam) But don't worry. It will be a very affordable indie price.
I just finished Code: Evolved final stage! Now comes the hard part. Making of the last intro :)
Here is a list of things for this game that are done and that still needs to be done:
You can also check out trello table and see how far in development Code: Evolved is :)
Neo Semidori Wolf last cut scene is almost done! Very emotional scene. Not only for the Wolf and the Dreamwalker, but for me too. I worked on Wolf side of the story for almost a year and now it's time to say goodbye to the Wolf and to start work on Owl side of the story.
Owl side of the story will be done much faster. Why? Because it's a side story. So, there are no big cut scenes. All I need to do is to make 8 stages. And after that 4 bonus stages (2 for each character). So in total game should be released by the end of the year or very early next year :)
Until then try out Code: Evolved DEMO and tell me what you think. Every feedback is welcome :)
Today I finished drawing and animating all sprites and designing all frames (on paper) for the last Code: Evolved cut-scene (none of which I can show you because of the spoilers) :) Now all I need to do is to put all that togeather in the game and the ending for the Wolf side of the story should be done by the end of the week :)
Code: Evolved Wolf side of the story is finally done! And I started working on first (out of two) bonus stages for the wolf. And after that only 9 more stages for Owl side of the story remain to be done. But while I tested Wolf story I found out that there is a massive lag on Windows 10 (again). So after one whole day of work, I finally found underline problem. I still don't know why only Windows 10 had difficulties properly loading the game but... it doesn't matter. Everything works fine now! :)
This was a good thing because I found out that White Wolf 1 game has the same problem on Windows 10. So I will fix and upgrade White Wolf 1 (smoother controls, better animation on wolf, lower hp on some enemies...) and I will upload new version by the end of the next week :)
Code: Evolved Big upgrade changes!
The first round of game testing (full Wolf side of the story) is done. And I got tons of useful feedback! But one of them stands out the most. There was too much grinding in the game. This is especially problematic because Code: Evolved is a Metroidvania type of game. So grinding for EXP really does not mesh well with exploration nature of the game. For that purpose, I redesign EXP system.
First, there is no more EXP. You can now upgrade your skills and status with EP (evo points). A system for upgrading your character is the same. But enemies won't give you EXP anymore. Now You'll have to find EVO orbs in stages. There are 19 Evo orbs and some of them will give you 1500 EP, some of them 3000 EP. This way player can upgrade the character in which order he wants, but the exploration core of the game will be preserved.. :)
So, what are the future plans for Code: Evolved? well... this is a big change. I will make stage 2 for Owl side of the story and I will upload DEMO v3. This demo will contain 2 Owl stages, 3 Wolf stages, and the new Evo orb system. This demo will fix small things too. Like better jumping, some enemy changes and so on... This is also going to be the last demo for Code: Evolved. So I hope you will like this new system and see you all soon with more Code: Evolved news. :)
Small #CodeEvolved update.
I’m currently working on an Owl stage 3 which is the most complex stage in Code: Evolved game so far. But in the meantime, I’m making plans on paper for 2 Wolf / Owl bonus stages.
Bonus stages are now known as Subconscious 1 and Subconscious 2 and it will contain the only real Midori in the whole game. Alter ego Midori. This is going to be the most powerful boss fight in the game and his look and attacks will be different depending on who is fighting him (Owl or Wolf). But the rewards are going to be great! :)
Code: Evolved Owl stage 3 is done. But there are few things that need additional attention. So I'll polish stage 3 a few more days. And after that 5 more Owl stages, 2 bonus Owl / Wolf stages and Owl final stage needs to be done. It sounds like a lot of work... and it is... but every major aspect of the game is already done. All I need to do is to make remaining stages that are already fully planned and done on paper. So the game should definitely be done by the end of the year :)
Also, I'm currently working on my first project in Game Maker Studio 2. Beyond Retrieval :) This game is fantasy dark Metroidvania that is set in the afterlife. The player will be able to control 3 angels (one at the time, but the player is going to be able to switch control between them at any time). The afterlife and our world are in the greatest danger so far. 12 Creators of both worlds can restore the balance between them only with the help from the angels! The game is still in a very early stage of development and Code: Evolved is still the main priority.
You can try one hour-long Code: Evolved demo on https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/2017/02/code-evolved-white-wolf-2.html :)
Today I started work on Wolf bonus stage 1 - SUBCONSCIOUSNESS 1
I cannot show you screenshots from any bonus stage because... spoilers. Plus it would be unfair toward the players who collected everything and unlock this stages as a reward for doing so. But, I can show you one of the Owl boss fights I'm working on. Demon Midori :)
New #CodeEvolved Midori type - Ark Midori. Stand too long above him and he will stab you!
More about Midori enemies find out in Midori Encyclopedia on https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/p/midori-list.html
Code: Evolved should be done and released by the end of the year. But, there is one more application that is going to be released at the same time. WHITE WOLF COLLECTION :)
This application will contain White Wolf 1 and Code: Evolved games, as well as tons of bonus content for fans of White Wolf universe! This application is still work in progress. In the meantime here are a few screenshots :)
#CodeEvolved - Owl Stage 4 is done! And at the same time, I finished work on the final stage. Neo Semidori Owl will find himself in the same place as Neo Semidori Wolf. But he will have his own bosses and challenges.
On the screenshots, you can see Summoner Midori boss. This Midori will summon different creatures to attack you. But the special thing about the summoned creatures is that every creature is the boss from my first game done in #GameMaker 8 - All in Vain. This is appropriate since the Code: Evolved is going to be the last game I made in Game Maker 8. So, the circle is closed nicely :D
Code: Evolved and White Wolf Collection is going to be released by the end of this year. In the meantime, you can check out Code: Evolved one hour long demo :)
White Wolf Collection will, besides White Wolf and Code: Evolved game, contain a Demo from a canceled RPG game called Project: Tabula Rasa and short cartoon called Dream Sequence. :) Here is a full list of the White Wolf Collection content:
- White Wolf 1 full game
- White Wolf 1 user manual.pdf
- White Wolf 1 sketches and concept art.pdf
