Quick update - Items and other things
Items have been added to the game. At first these were going to be Temporary items that woudl give the player a small buff over time that would eventually wear off. For the time being I've put the idea to the side and I've designed 9 core items that can be found throughout the levels but spawn at random. Once equipped they are kept until the player dies. They're mainly items that effect the platforming currently as the platforming is the main gameplay element. SO I thought it was necessary that the items would reflect that. The items are as follows
- Ground Speed boost
- Faster fall speed
- Double jump enable
- Disable Wall sticking
- Air Speed/Control increase
- Dash ability
- Jump height increase
- Luck Increase (increase in item score at random once picked up)
- Key Book (a book full of keys)
As you can see below the UI has also gone through some changes
What's coming
Aside from the items additions I've also added High score functions and have started adding some Statistics that track specific things the player has. I've also added a few stock sounds designed in BFXR for ease of use.
Once I finish up the items I'll be moving onto a Store. Where the player will be able to open up Chests with keys for Loot and treasure, trade Artifacts for Higher scores and much more.
