Hey everyone!
I'm happy to announce the release of demo version 0.2.0! The overall changes are listed below. The goal for this version is to show the gameplay, that how to explore hidden rooms with skills or puzzle solving. There are also info rooms when passing through levels, which allows Tsetseg to unlock stills or give tips. With 3 levels in total, I managed to add 6 hidden areas and 5 info rooms. Go find them all and see if you could visit all of them in a single run.
I'm also working on a macOS version. I target a quick release in 2 weeks.
The game is still under development. Internally around 40% done. Let me know if your thinkings and feedbacks on existing gameplay.
Gameplay:
- One more level is addded in the demo. Now there are 3 levels playable.
- Tsetseg's all 3 skills are available. Find them in info room to unlock them.
- There are 6 hidden areas + 5 info room added in demo. Some areas requires skills as prerequisite to enter. There is a path to visit all hidden rooms and get all skills in a single run. Go find it!
User experience
-
* Existing levels are polished by repainted tilemap, for better look and feel.
* Hidden areas are adjusted to lower the difficulty.
Others
- Some platforms are adjusted to lower the difficulty.
- Remove video/audio configuration.
- Input configuration is split into two menu items: Keyboard and joypad.
- Default keyboard input uses direction keys and spaces. So non-English keyboard (e.g., Cyrillic Mongolian) can have reasonable out-of-box control.
- Fix a bug in demo 0.1.0 that new input settings does not overwrite existing.
Under construction
- Music is unavailable. I need more time to learn how to compose chiptune. :(
- Input display may be incorrect due to previous multi-key configuration. Reset to default and reset can solve the problem.
- No progress save yet. Need some time to understand how to implement it with GodotSteam.
