(Wow, it took you long enough...)

11/12/16 (12/11/16)

So, where am I with development? Here’s a little hint:

Yep, the final zone’s level select is finished. Now I just need to polish it up so it is 100% functional. For those who don’t know, this game is a short game. But it won’t feel like it, because this is not an easy game at all. You will start to get better as you go along, but it is still very difficult. I’ll have some footage of Zone 4 going up on here this week, so keep an eye on my profile if you are interested.

Anyway, other than that, I have added in some features. I have hidden 5 tokens throughout the game to spice up the ball’s look so it isn’t so bare all the time. The way to get these tokens are to intentionally avoid pressing the button of a barrier at certain points in certain levels.

I have also added in a feature to back out into the stage select menu by pressing the Esc key on the keyboard, even if you are using a controller.

On the starting screen, I have changed it so “New Game” and “Continue” have been switched out for a single “Start Game” button. I didn’t see the point or need in choosing to start a new game, especially with the level select feature. I have also added two new menus called “Controls” and “Skins”.

I have changed the music in Zone 2 so now all of the music is by Silverman Sound Studios due to the fact that Evan King has not confirmed that I can use his music commercially, but SSS has.

In Stage 4-1, it uses a different style to the other stages and completely relies on pattern memorisation. The stage will be shown off later this week.

Zone Vinesauce info

As stated before, Zone Vinesauce is no longer a thing, at least in the main game, anyway. I felt as if I was using Vinesauce’s name and hard work to boost myself and get my game shown. I did not like this approach to it at all, and scrapped the idea of it altogether. I have thought about making a fan-game version with new stages that would be free of charge based on them, but right now, I want to finish this and get started on Project: RDN as soon as possible. I hope you understand.
