Version 0.3.4 Development Log
It's been a while! A lot has being going on outside of my game development the last 2 weeks but I've been back at it the last few days and moving down the seemingly never ending list of things I want to add to this game. Below is a full list of things added and things changed.
- Player has an air jump now. This means a player can drop off a surface and then jump mid air.
- Flying enemies now target the player and move towards them within a certain range.
- (Speeds of flying enemies may vary)
- Ground enemies can spawn on surfaces and patrol back and forth but will not follow player.
- Equippable items no longer appear in the dungeons but can drop from Chests.
- Some chests require keys (see gifs below). The higher the amount of keys required the better the reward.
- Added chest open effect.
- Spikes that are constantly falling from top will increase in speed as you venture further down.
- Depths no longer read as "1-1", "1-2", "2-1" etc but just as 1,2,3,4 and so on.
- Diamonds that come from broken boxes attract quickly towards player. May apply this to coins too but at a shorter range.
- Exploding Boxes explode faster.
- Game now logs and saves statistics (Deaths, coins collected, artifacts, wins etc)
- Menu has a Stats page.
- Stats can be reset.
- Added Settings page with Fullscreen toggle. Sound settings and more have yet to be implemented.
- New level theme "The Mines" added.
- New sprites added for The Mines.
- New enemies added.
- UI and camera changes colour upon entering Depths 4, 5 and 6.
