Day 5: done!
I made some decent progress on the lighthouse’s rooms and basement (there’s a real spiral staircase now!) but most importantly: I’ve added a second spell!
You can now collect the fire spell from the boiler room in the basement – and you’ll need to use it to escape, too.
And now that there are multiple spells, you can hit shift to swap between them all. And I sped-up the cooldown between spell casts too, because it was super annoying.
So, there are 9 days left. I still need to add two more spells (let’s say a day each), make new tile sets and populate the waterhouse and mine (let’s say a day on each environment, then), finish populating the lighthouse (say a day), make the opening and closing cinematics (say a day each) make the sound effects (say half a day), and finally compose + records the music (say a day and a half). By my reckoning, that’s exactly 9 days, so I’m still in with a chance of submitting on time! I’m still optimistic!
You can play today’s build right now at https://pixelsallthewaydown.itch.io/the-lighthouses-keeper, and thank you for being awesome!
