Thank you very much! Reading this after a long day at work really made my day!

I'm actually preparing to make this a legit game with fully custom resources. Just need to find one (or more) affordable spriters to round out the team and hopefully next time (in about 8 months from now) there will also be a kickstarter demo for you to check out. ;)

Martijn knows I've been lurking ZFGC on occasion to keep an eye on this game, but I figured I should make a post so my interest is on record. I think I've said it once or twice before, but I hold the same sentiment as Aero88's last post above. I am both amazed and inspired by this project.

I recently started playing the newest build. It had been a while since I played a demo and I had remembered the game fondly, especially the dungeons. The first dungeon is just like I remembered, and my appreciation for the dungeon design is even greater now. I'm really enjoying the new demo, so much that I'm having to force myself not to play it so I can get other important things done, ahaha. XD

And here is the latest news:
I've pretty much fixed every known bug this weekend. And now I'm trying to figure out how to best add in the new enemy/mechanical variations I wanted to see in the next cathedral level.

Aside from that, the rest of the time has been spend expanding the design document for future developments. I do apologize if the progress reports become a little bit shorter in the coming months. I've found that commisioning art takes a lot of prep work and reference materials, so I'm taking my time with it.

Progress report:
Code: [Select]
0.25.22 (9 oktober 2021)
* Started work on new enemy: Cathedral Cyclops

0.25.23 (16 oktober 2021)
* Increased minimal jump distance for ledge jumping from bridges / elevated platforms (for more consistent gamefeel compared to jumping of walls)
* Fixed door to the final boss not opening
* Expanded snd scripting to remove sound stacking for container destruction, item collection (and a few specific other cases)
* Fixed issue where you would spawn in a pile of stones if you entered the area from a staircase beneath that pile and then died before entering another area
* Fixed issue where Link looks to be frozen while pushing some of the outmost corners of masking rectangles

0.25.24 (17 oktober 2021)
* Moving platforms now have a little delay after moving (to allow easier getting on/off)
* Fixed moving platform residual movement effect on character at end of paths
* Made slight progress tiling new cathedral level

Technically it's more of a temple, because I'm not aiming to include religious imagery and so forth, but yeah. As a dungeon setting. Together with the graveyards outside.

PS: Also working to maybe turn this into an original IP in the future (via late 2022 kickstarter).

I was a little too tired to add commentary yesterday, but the focus last week (and next week) is on polishing up the existing dungeons and bugfixing. To add a little development variation before going back to new content (and other plans). So if anybody has any unmentioned feedback about the existing demo, feel free to share so that I can consider it as well.

Finally adding some more visual indicators to the cannonball puzzle in dungeon 1 btw. Almost everybody I see recordings off seems to have trouble grasping that one somehow.

And here is the latest progress report.

Honestly, most progress has been going into preparing the plans for the original IP variant of this game. Now that the design document is coming along nicely, I've already been putting out small art commissions to get experience with that whole proces. It's both fun and terrifying to send out an assignment and wait to see how artists interpret my words and examples XD.

On that note, now might be a good time to show the intended hero Itin that I've already been spriting myself. I might go for brighter clothing eventually, but overall I'm pretty happy with the concept. What do you guys think? Does it spark the imagination? Does is come across as a kid / young adult?

Progress report:
Code: [Select]
0.25.36 (22 november 2021)
* Made changes to dungeon 1 entrance room (for more logic consistency)
* Added visual indications to better show what is going on with the buttons in the cannonball puzzle in dungeon 1

0.25.37 (25nov-4dec 2021)
* Worked on more detailed darkness engine. Ended up scrapping this entirely for getting to complex and confusing.

0.25.38 (5 december 2021)
* Redesigned house with cell in the mining town dungeon
* Added failsafe for getting stuck in conditional blocks
* Darkness engine can now also handle angled walls

Si vous avez trouvé le boomerang amélioré, vous pouvez le faire rebondir sur les murs en diagonale.

--

If you have found the upgraded boomerang then you can bounce it off walls diagonally.

0.25.45 (19 december 2021)
