Day 23 - Happy Thanksgiving!
I don't have much to report in terms of progress today but I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :) Had some turkey, pie, and played a board game with my family. To be honest, it was largely boring XD However, it isn't everyday that you do these things so it was still nice.
Want a quick update though? Still have ya covered. Today I implemented a new leveling system that grants skills, made a few balance changes, playtested some new features, and completed the setup phase for the Lava Level.
Still to do:
- Finish the Graveyard boss (remains at 3/10 of the way complete) - Incremental completion through the weekend.
- Finish the first stage of the Lava Level - Should be finished by tomorrow.
- Create boss battle for Lava Level - Visuals, music, and basic programming should be complete by tomorrow.
- Finalize the design of The Hallowed Heroes Hall - This has been in progress since yesterday when I was laying out maps, not 100% in love with the current design but it would satisfy as a placeholder. Should note, this is a cutscene only (maybe some minor gameplay?) not the actual boss arena. See picture below.
- Either:
- Implemented final boss + design the level - Preferred option, dependent on weekend time.
- Go with plan b with new game + plan (that'll make sense if I go with this) - Not as desirable.
- Write the new game + cutscene
The worst part is the door. I don't have a good door that fits there. Don't get me wrong, I have better doors, but they are meant to be paired with other things that don't work here. There is also too much blank space on the side but if this is just a brief cutscene, then I'm not gonna worry too terribly about it unless people really are against this. I also notice now that this is off-center. I'd fix that too. Oh, actually, I may be able to use a better set of tiles here. Guess you'll see in the final version ;)
That's it folks. I'm tired now so I likely won't make any extra progress on this like I usually do the moment I post these. Again, hope you had a happy (and safe) Thanksgiving!
