Hello, everyone my name is Jonathan Westfall and I have been working on a 2d platforming/Puzzle game in the Unity3d engine. The game's name is Chappy's Adventure. Chappy's Adventure is about a green dragon named Chappy who is trying to find his friends who were separated from him during a storm. As Chappy, you must wander through forests, snow mountains, and castles to reunite with your friends.

Alright time for my second devlog.

April 10 2016

So for the last week I have been writing binary formatters to create .dat files to save and load data to and from the game among other things.

• I fixed 2 physics bugs.
  • When a moving platform squishes the character it used to fling the character. Now it ignores the collider and goes below the character.
  • Player does not get knocked back when it hits some them at an angle that is right beside the corner of the player's hit box.
• Now there is a Mario style world map system.
  • Unlocked levels show up as a gold star.
  • locked levels show up as a black star.
  • Player can move around on the world map and select the levels.
• Better Options menu now.
• Made a debug mode for better testing in editor.

For the next week I will

• Try to have the first three levels fully playable
• Finished the options menu
• Make the levels fastest time and high score also save to the data file.
• Finish the enemies AI system.
• Set up a downloadable exe for people to grab and test for them selves.

Here is a video showing some of the previously mentioned additions to the project.

Cheers mates and have a good day.

Even though it is not time for my weekly update. I thought I would share some news.

1. I got enemies to hurt you on touch.
   1. They knock you back based on which direction they hit you from.
2. The high-score and the fastest time to beat the levels are now saved in a .dat file.
3. I am going to release a super early version of the project today.
1. This is the first test level and the main menu with the world map.

The links to all the community board is in the first post of this thread.

Have a good day everyone.

Quick update.

1. I fixed a couple things people found slightly anoyying such as the spikes collider boxes.
2. I also got an exit game button on the options menu which can be accessed by hitting the escape key and on the main menu.
3. The mouse cursor now disappears when there in the game screen when there is no menu or dialogue. This way it will not get in the way of players.

This week was a little slow because we were getting a couple different things ready that will make a huge update to the game play. It should be done by the end of the week.

The new demo with the fixes are ready for download.

Alright everyone quick update time.

So we changed out the old UI with some better images while adding a couple things.

1. On the world map in the top right corner you can see a UI canvas that shows the current levels highscore and fastest time.
2. We have added a small amount to level two for a couple testing reasons.
3. and a new dev log for people to enjoy.

Thank you for your time and hope you enjoy the game.
