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 :)

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)
