Weekly Update #1


Update "Alpha 0.1"



Some small changes have happened since the jam announcement. I'm planning on a lot more. What currently has changed is the following: 

  1.  Enemy spawn numbers have changed. Before spawns were quite random and now they are done in a more organized way. Consequently there will have to be some changes in the future, but this gets us going with a cleaner approach.
  2. The player is only hit once per roll! This is a huge bug fix. The game is much more playable now.
  3. Added a noise when leveling and a slight delay before choosing levels. In the future I'll add an animation for the player "leveling up"
  4. A little bounce to the player when they roll to make it look more like a rolling die.
  5. The music is a bit quieter and slowly gains instead of blasting out all at once.
  6. The roll arrow is now a square dice that explains the roll much better! Looking forward to what you guys think of this new pointer. It's much more prettier and I think it shows the idea of the "random" roll amount each turn without having to describe it to the player via words.

What's coming up next:

  1. Descriptions for abilities.
  2. Enemies will move after hit combos. The game is too easy as is! However, making enemies not able to move when you roll over and get a "combo" makes the game quite easy. In the future this will be removed. This will make the game much harder, but future abilities will be much more powerful and unique and should offset this difficulty.
  3. More abilities with branching upgrades! Abilites will no longer be duplicate and boring. They will have a hierarchy and choosing one ability will allow other abilities to be chosen. Much more will be coming, but first we need descriptions to make these hierarchies more understandable.
  4. Animation for leveling up.
  5. Death animation.
  6. more enemies.
  7. more guns?
  8. more characters?

Let me know what you guys think in the comments or via twitter. Thanks!
