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. :)

Making winter stage on a summer day! Code: Evolved Owl stage 2 now in development :)

Here it is... one of the strangest Code: Evolved boss fights. This guy will run away from you a few times. But don't worry. He will sill be in the stage somewhere :) 

A new type of doors in Code: Evolved! Kill side bosses and receive dream keys to unlock new (optional) paths trough the stages :)

Code: Evolved Neo Semidori Owl stage 2 is more than a 50% done! So the new (and final) Code Evolved DEMO will be done and uploaded by the end of the next week. :) This new demo will contain new gameplay changes (removal of EXP grinding and introduction of EVO orbs), more polished gameplay, and will have 3 wolf stages and 2 owl stages.

Also, White Wolf 1 will be updated (smoother controls, better wolf animation, more balanced enemies...) and uploaded by the end of the month!

So, all in all, this is going to be a month full of White Wolf universe content :)

Now that the Code: Evolved demo v3 and White Wolf 1 updated version are done and uploaded I can continue work on Code: Evolved Owl stage 3. And here it is. First stage 3 screenshot :)

One of the more complex Code: Evolved puzzles... do you like cooking?  :)

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 (out of 10) is almost done! And after that, I'm starting to work on Wolf bonus stages 1 and 2 :)

Two Code: Evolved characters - two destinies!

Currently, I'm working on a boss fight and after that Owl stage 3 is done and I can move on the Wolf bonus stage 1 - Subconsciousness 1  :) 

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 :)

I'm currently working on Wolf bonus stage 1. But after that, I will stop working on any new stage and I will be focusing on boss fights (which should last about 2 months). This way I will be able to simply make stages without the need to play them to the end just so I can test boss fight of that stage :) Here are the boss fights that still needs to be done:

- Wolf bonus boss fights 1 and 2
- Owl bonus boss fights 1 and 2
- 4 main Owl boss fights (including final boss)
- 4 optional Owl boss fights

I already have most of the sprites ready to add into the game and I have attacks planned for all the boss fights on paper so I just need to start adding them in the game :) In the meantime check out the demo and tell me what you think :)

Interesting) 

First of all, I'm sorry for slow updates on #CodeEvolved. I've been working on some #GameMaker tutorials and demos for the peoples who just started working in Game Maker. You can check them out on my official page https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/p/game-maker.html

Also, I worked on options menu in Game Maker Studio 2 for #BeyondRetrieval . The options menu (sound, music volume, joystick mapping, resolution settings...) is done and it's going to be useful in many of my future games made in GMS2 :)

Now about Code: Evolved. I finished few boss fights and I started work on bonus stage 1 for Neo Semidori Wolf. The game is coming along quite nicely and the bonus stage should be done by the end of this week. After that, I will start working on a few remaining boss fights. I did everything I needed to do on my side projects so now I can be completely focused on Code: Evolved game. In the meantime, you can check Code: Evolved demo and tell me what you think. Every feedback is welcome :)

Code: Evolved one of the early Wolf alter-ego Midori sprites :)

I finished out all Code: Evolved Neo Semidori Wolf boss fights! And I also did Wolf bonus stage 1 (out of 2). This means that soon I will start working on Wolf bonus stage 2 and after that wolf side of the game is done! :)

In the meantime, you can follow Code: Evolved WIP table on Trello and see exactly how far in development the game is :) https://trello.com/b/Dm1ACF4e/wip-games

I'm currently working on Neo Semidori Wolf bonus stage 2. But in the meantime, I started working on one of the new Neo Semidori Owl stages (moon valley). Also, you can see on this screenshot one of the new Owl special attacks! :)

Code: Evolved game is a sequel to a White wolf. And it revolves around 2 characters: Neo Semidori Wolf and Neo Semidori Owl. So far everyone who followed Code Evolved development knows what the Wolf story is. Wolf is in a cryogenic chamber and it is constantly visited in his sleep by a creature that calls itself a Dreamwalker. What the Dreamwalker wants? To prepare Neo Semidori Wolf for a big battle that can save the universe.

The story for Neo Semidori Owl is very similar. An Owl is in a cryogenic sleep and it is visited by the same creature as the Wolf is. However, the Owl story is set few hours before the Wolf story. And unlike the wolf, Owl has no interest in what the Dreamwalker wants. Neo Semidori Owl is just trying to find his brother unaware that he is in a dream world.

If you played White Wolf 1 the story is going to be more flash out for you. But, it is not necessary to play previous game to understand the story in Code: Evolved. Many terms such as Midori, Semidori, Neo Semidori, Dreamwalker, Crystallization, and others will be explained in the game. :)

You can find out more about Code: Evolved (and try a one-hour long demo) here on itch.io or on the official page:  https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/2017/02/code-evolved-white-wolf-2.html

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 Wolf side of the story is now in a testing phase. Also, Owl stage 4 is currently in development. More news about Code: Evolved is coming soon :)

In the meantime check out first gameplay footage from Beyond Retrieval - My first game in Game Maker Studio 2 :) 

The game is still in a very early stage of development. I will start fully working on Beyond Retrieval after the Code: Evolved is done. For more information about Code: Evolved and Beyond Retrieval check out my official page: https://mmmfree2dwindowsgames.blogspot.rs/2017/10/beyond-retrieval.html

Here is something for #ThrowbackThursday  :)

You can find more about this games on my official page: http://mmmgamesindie.blogspot.rs/

or on a Fb page: https://www.facebook.com/MMMindiegames/#

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 :) 

Code: Evolved Owl stage 4 is almost done! So here is one new boss fight :)

There are quite a few puzzle rooms in Code: Evolved moon valley. And here is one of them :) 

Code: Evolved dream machine and 5 Dreamwalkers!

#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 :)

Artificial dream - a turning point for Neo Semidori Owl! :)

#CodeEvolved - Reflectors in Owl stage 5 will follow your every move. Maybe you can reveal some writings on the wall with them that will help you solving the main puzzle :)
