I appreciate the offer, though I do already know how I would do it at least. The hard part would just be the long process of digging through 4 years of programming, and updating all the dependencies and such. Hopefully I can bring myself to do it some day though, it would be nice.
But for now, I hope you enjoy the new demo if you do indeed check it out!
Left wanting after the first map, you say?
Convenient timing! A new demo that I've been working on throughout this month just released less than 24 hours after your comment, containing the second map!
Thank ya for all the feedback and ideas. Some of the additions/changes would be difficult at my skill level, or are already done now, or planned for future game(s) (adding a shield for example), but you bring up some things I hadn't considered. An indicator if you have the money and stuff required for upgrades being one that I would definitely like to add. (Mind if I add you to the Ideas credits for this?)
You're right about the control rebinding too. It really is something I should just dedicate time to, even if it'll take like a month out of development. It's just really hard to motivate myself to do that, knowing how much will break as a result, and have to be dug up from the ancient programming to be fixed. But even if I shy away from it, I definitely at least plan to fix it for future games, before I get too deep into creation that it becomes a pain like it did here.
Also, for the music, admittedly I didn't try too hard to make sure I was only using one style. I just kinda chose what sounded cool and fitting for an area, out of what I could find, as long as it was at least chiptune-adjacent. A coherent soundtrack would be a bonus, but hopefully what's there is at least fun to listen to, that was the main goal.
Either way, I appreciate that you enjoyed despite the issues, and I hope you enjoy the full game when it's done! Many of these issues will unfortunately likely remain, but hopefully I'll at least knock some of them out. One or two, I think, are even already (mostly) dealt with in the new demo!
Have a good rest of the weekend, and thanks for playing!
Ooh, I'm surprised it works on Linux (At least, I think that's Linux?). Good to know though!
But yeah, I certainly understand the mini-map criticism. I wasn't sure what else to do working with only black and white colours, maybe a white border around every unseen tile, or something.
Either way, glad you enjoyed!
