Upcoming changes


First major update after Brackeys game-jam

During this jam's first two days of rating, I have been getting a lot of nice feedback, which has giving me the motivation to continue to develop this game! 

What will be the big changes?

The changes that will be most noticeable will be that the game now will have music and sound effects. Those is all taken from Mixkitfreesound and chosic. Except that I will be implementing 5 new levels including a Tutorial map.

Also, some new mechanics will be added.
The new mechanics will be:

  • Double jump when ghost mode is activated.
  • Wall jumps
  • The "see through" effect will expand while going through bigger blocks for better visibility.
  • Timer for the levels. Who will be fastest?!

Bugs and bug-fixes

As the game is right now, it has a lot of small bugs in the small amount of mechanics there is implemented. So first and foremost I will fix those. But beyond that, I will also implement the new mechanics explained above and try my best to make them bug free.
The most known bug right now is that the character cube lags while jumping next to a wall.

Things I want to add in the future

I have big plans and some ideas for the game which I hope to be able to implement during further development if the game gets popular after this release which will come in the first few days after the Jam ratings have been over.

The things I would love to add is those:

  • A more interesting menu
  • Low poly objects instead of the cub maps, but the player will stay!
  • Player customization, both for regular and ghost, maybe even some cosmetics, like hats.
  • Local Leader-board & online leader-board
  • Trail behind the player
  • A bunch more levels
  • Would be cool with player made levels, but that feels outside my league hehe...
  • Mobile support
  • Better HUD
  • More unique sounds
  • Support for Full-screen, Windowless, Windowed, and so on.
  • Make the games itch.io page a lot more eye friendly and cool
  • Make low poly models for the items

More?

Well, I want to thank you all for the feedback and kind words. But I think if I can make the changes listed above under "What will be the big changes",  I want to make this game a "free or donate" game. So you all will be able to get it for free and if you like it, you can support it by donation(Or leaving a nice comment, or recommending a friend).
And why I say if i can make the changes, is because I go at a University and I have a lot of things to do during a regular day, but I can most of the time get around 1-4 hours a day to my own things if I plan everything great. Also, I am studying to be a computer game programmer, so both  I and my teachers hope I can succeed continuing this game as it is good practices! 

Thanks once again for the kind support so far and I hope for more support during the upcoming week. Then hopefully, be able to release a new update when the Brackeys game-jam is fully over, by march 14th, if I can count correctly!
