cancelled game

(music used is not mine.)

anyway uh, i don't have much else to say except one thing not shown in this video are the signular enemy ive added (its still WIP tho), next post ill probably go into depth about new level ideas/reimagining of some level concepts! last but not least heres the latest version of the main menu OST:

okay uh, im gonna start doing a dev update around the 18th of ever month, starting on the 18th of this month! (ill make more if alot happens btw!!! or like ill most if i make a new OST or some shit) for now, i will show you all some new assets ive made:

okay so I've made a couple of new assets for the game, aswell as almost finishing the escape sequence theme!

(just gotta tweak some stuff on it, for example the clock sounds at the first beat drop)

also i have a semi-WIP main menu music!

i need to make it longer and add some less reppetive sections lol

also i've made a couple of new assets:

spear enemy walk cycle!

mike falling animation

head thing for the corner, similiar to the thing in old pizza tower demos (like it uh, changes depending on what state the player is in) (most likely gonna redraw this as im not a big fan of how it came out.)

also the TV that will keep track of the players score:

last but not least for now (for assets) i made the goober walk cycle as well!

ok so, i also want to talk about some of the level concepts i have!

so, for the first world ( FYI every world will have around 4 levels, and a boss)

will be time based the levels will be: (names are not finalized!) Medieval Mania, a medieval themed level (duh), Ancient "Grease" a food themed level based off of ancient Greece, "YE HAW!" saloon, a wild west themed level, i dont have an idea for the fourth level yet, i may still do the "Castle entrance" level for first level of world one, so.

other level concepts i have are: "Busy bee city": which will have some sort of honey powerup allowing you to stick to walls (i don't know about the name.) "Placeholder": literally JUST a level with place holder assets, may be kind of a lazy idea but yk "OH MY GOD SO RETRO": a level that plays into the "so retro meme" (but without copy writed characters ofc i aint gettin sued.)

also ive had an idea for a "bowling alley" level where you have to knock over bowling pins.

even though ive not felt like animating as of recently, i have been dipping my toes into the realm of original music creation (ive dont alot of remix's and covers in the past, and i still make some from time to time too!!) anyway, just wanted to show you all a little demo of the games escape theme!

EVERYTHING HERE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BTW!!! i use FL studio and beepbox by the way! (beepbox for making melodies and patterns, and FL for putting it all together with samples too!) oh yea heres a little bit of gameplay i recorded a couple of days ago i legit have nothing done LMAO

yo guys sorry about not being active for like a month i just have not been motivated at all too work on making game assets yo guys sorry about not being active for like a month i just have not been motivated at all too work on making game assets (here's a couple of things i've made over the past little while to atleast give you all some content)

Hey you all! somewhat big news about the game here, i've decided that im no longer doing the pixel art style for my game: 1) because its over used 2) because im not good at pixel art I've also decided that ill be starting from scratch (not like i had much done plus i can just reuse the old code from the old project) anyway, to keep this one short: im going to let you all access the old project build, it has a tutorial, menu, and 1 really bad level, this is NOT what the finale project will be like, ive learned alot about gdevelop (also the code here is a fucking MESS) also stated the music in this tech demo is not mine and is only placeholder. link to the tech demo (FYI its VERY buggy): also let me know if they are any issues!!

I AM NOT DEAD! i think? anyway, nothing too special here, I've been cooking on the game for the past couple of days, idk how long my motivation will last (it comes and goes!) but i just wanted to say that I'm not dead! anyway, take this art of jerry with the text "STILL WORKING ON IT!" i may post some of the doodles I've made about character designs here soon, i just got out of school around a week and a half ago so id have to dig them out of my backpack lol, anyway thanks for whoever (if anyone even IS) waiting!

this ones gonna be a big one, ALOT of updates

first off:

i redesigned the 8 ball character! he will probably be the second boss of the game instead of the first (thinking of making the first one a wizard idk tho)

also! that "Secret" mechanic i was talking about in the last post was the ball slope mechanic [no idea if it has an actual name] , the one from WARIO LAND 4 where if you're on a slope and hit a certain key the player will transform into a ball and roll around for a second.

animation of that scaled up:

also, new enemy! paul!

originally they where a john pillar ripoff, but i wanted to make my game more original so i made them into a thwomp like enemy.

Something else i made was a concept design for the games main villain: the evil dictator!

He's tall as hell and is a genuinely evil person.

With all of that out of the way, last but not least i have some gameplay over the past like week of development!

Oh yea, im going to try and be more professional with these in the future.

Bye for now!

(SORRY FOR BEING GONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, MOTIVATION IS A BIG STRUGGLE FOR ME SO POSTS WILL BE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.) -Dev

ight so, before i get into the topic of this post, id just like too say:

I GAVE MIKE A GUN !!

as of now mike/the player can: double jump, dash, run, walk (duh) and shoot. (also another machinic but I'm not going to reveal it here mwaahahahahahaha)

anyway, the first demo will have a tutorial, and 1-2 levels.

One of the 2 levels being called "medieval mania" being a castle/medieval themed level, the other level is not exactly in my mind, i was thinking of something called "ancient grease" a pun of "ancient Greece" it would be like ancient Greece but food themed(?) but that also seems too close to pizza tower, my game is inspired not a copycat, although the idea is kind of funny. Also, the first world of the game (or floor, as you climb a castle.) is time themed, so that could fit as well.

Anyway, i also made some enemies:

the ball with legs is called a "goober" its just the generic "Goomba/Cheese slime" enemy of the game, the next one is a spear guy, may call em spearies, they damage you if they run into you. Lastly is the knight, they drop swords from above (most likely going to redesign them as the sprites kind of lazy.) They also cannot be killed.

Anyway, before i go, heres a video of me in a test room messing around:

The story (so far) is as follows:

You are a guy named "Mike"

Mike has anger issues, but is overall a cool guy. (he also loves hamsters and cats.)

One day, mikes village is taken over by this evil dictator (I don't have a concept of him drawn digitally yet.)

Mike didn't give too rats asses about this guy until mikes best friend was kidnapped and taken to the top of the tower. (Note: This isn't exactly a medieval tower, the tower its self is actually magical.)

Eventually, Mikes neighbor (mistakenly) gets a letter from the castle, saying that Mikes friend had been kidnapped, the letter was from the dictators personal jester.

(picture of the jester) Mikes neighbor (his name is Jerry.) gives the letter to mike, and they head off to the tower to get Mikes friend back.

On the way (or before) Mike drinks this potion, and it gives him the power of speed (and some other things, i mean this is a PT clone after all lol.) Ex: when he gets mad his arm(s) turn really buff.

Running animation if you where curious.
