Hi,

Many thanks for the feedback! We've tried to reproduce the bug the way you mentioned (it is very easy to follow), but unfortunately to no avail yet. This means there's a weirder underlying issue that manifests the bug when the game is being run under specific conditions (e.g. Linux). That said, we will further investigate the issue and try to come up with some solution (for one, even if the + button remains active, we can ensure nothing happens when you click it when it's 5/5).

Thank you again, happy hunting!

Hey,

Thank you for the report! I started investigating the issue, but wasn't able to reproduce it yet. Which on one hand means it's not a frequent bug, I hope you won't encounter it again. :) Of course, hopefully it will be fixed soon in a post-holiday Alpha 3 patch. A few other smaller, related issues were already found.

USC salutes you, Commander. Happy hunting!

Hi,

Yes, there is a tutorial for the Alpha Demo on Youtube:

Have a nice day! :)

Cheers,

Hello,

Yes, it is an Alpha Demo.

We are currently working on the sound system.

There will be an update soon. Keep your eyes peeled! :)

Cheers,

Angry Cat Studios

That sounds good. As a small developer team,  we can not guarantee that we will have the opportunity to make a Linux port of the game at the moment, but we will see.

Hi,

One of our next step will be to add a portion of the sounds and some music to the next version of the demo. Hopefully, it will be ready before Halloween. :)

Cheers! :)

Hi HAUO,

Sorry for the late answer & thanks for the feedback!

We have a lot of ideas how to take Sharkania to the very next level, and there are a lot of paths to take, for example:

• random generated campaign mode in which you discover a magical island set in different biomes with various new enemies and possibilities
• new, exciting game mechanics: spellcasting, environmental hazards, treasures, etc.
• profile system with collectables, dragon customization, player statistics, leaderboards
• board editor
• and so on

What do you think about these ideas?

Cheers! :)

Predators lurk around in the jungle.

How it's made? Basic traps.

Basic entity placement and editing.

Is the tower in 2D or 3D? Strange dimensions...

Use the Unbound energy to force push your enemies!

What's under the hood? Check it out with Aliza Wenders, our lead programmer/developer!

Lev: Hi, what did it take from a technical and development standpoint to make the former #Advjam2017 build into a full game?

Aliza: The better question would be that what did it take to make the #Advjam2017 build in two weeks? Of course a lot of improvements and additions were made to the core of the game since then, but the #Advjam2017 build was so -if I might say- elegantly built that we could mostly concentrate on making new content, fun features, and even a user-friendly, fully functional editor.

Lev: How did you manage the various tasks of the designing/programming and creating the graphical assets?

Aliza: We started using Trello as a way to share our ideas and the daily progress. But it was not that difficult to orchestrate the process, because we already knew how graphical assets had to be made, thus we could practically split the process of making graphics by Derwen, and the process of programming by me and only merge our works at the final stage.

Lev: How did you decide what should have been in the game and where would be the “end” to it?

Aliza: To be honest, it was never really decided per se, and there are still a lot of content we could add, but then we would still be making this game 10 years from now. Now we have enough content to present both visually, both gameplay-wise varied levels, and a good story.

Lev: How much story, puzzling elements and action/platforming elements will the game contain?

Aliza: We are trying to make the game accessible for fans of all three aspects. Some levels will be more lore and puzzle-heavy than others, but if you are a hardcore platforming fan, you could always ramp up the difficulty level... not that the normal difficulty will be easy!

Lev: Will the game be playable with a controller?

Aliza: Absolutely! I never used a controller in my whole life before, but I bought one just to test it with Mimic Hunter and to help me understand how it works, and what feels good, and I absolutely prefer playing with a controller to playing with a keyboard now. And all controls are remappable, so it shouldn't be an issue for anyone.

Lev: What was your main goal when creating the Tower Builder?

Aliza: The original #Advjam2017 tower was a 100% script generated level I coded in Notepad++, it saved a lot of time in those 2 weeks, but made it ultimately impossible to create more complex, larger towers, and I would never do it again. The Tower Builder is a completely point-and-click based, intuitive, WYSIWYG experience where you only need to write a few lines of script when you want to make some cool interactions or puzzles. The tower I was scripting for 4 days during the #Advjam2017 could be done in less than 6 hours now.

Folks, check out the development log! ;P

Minor patch 0.6.1 released

A new version (0.6.1) of the game is now available! As per the rules of the Jam, it contains no new gameplay elements, content or features, only fixes for a few minor issues. I’ve been replaying the game many times on a hunt for bugs, and this is all that I have found! :-) Here are the changes:

— Fixed a graphical glitch with the Pause menu background on non-16:9 aspect ratio.
— Fixed a script that caused one platform to disappear unintentionally (though it did not hinder the gameplay at all).
— Wrapped the game in a proper stand-alone installer.

That’s all! Enjoy!

Welcome to Old Stormtooth Tower! May seem like an idyllic place, but many dangers await you in our #advjam2017 game "Mimic Hunter!"

Monsieur Ratimousse, the legendary Mimic Hunter is facing the greatest and most dangerous challenge of his life yet. On a trail to find his mysteriously disappeared old mentor Barnabas, he now must make his way to the top of a forsaken tower to stop an ancient demon from entering the mortal world!

Mimic Hunter is an [adventurous platformer / platforming adventure] game (as you prefer!) set in a unique 2,5D world that involved a lot of applied trigonometry to make--you know, those weird demonic dimensions ;-)!

Created for #AdvJam2017 by Aliza Wenders & Derwen Llewelyn from Angry Cat Studios.
