4kg Dev - Night 13

Got so much done these past few days that I have to do this in bullet form.

  • Got the pause screen mostly working. Only lacking muted audio and the ability to return to the main menu.
  • Smoothed out most of the bugginess dealing with the double-line platforms (the ones you can pass through going up.) I also got it somewhat working that pressing down lets you pass back through them.
  • Entered the remaining two levels of the first world into the game.
  • Got ladders mostly working. Only lacking a climbing animation.
  • Got the falling animation done and fixed the wall sliding animation.
  • Started work on the second enemy’s AI.

Because of all the above, 4kg is almost entirely playable for the entire first world, not counting the virtual world portions. Therefore, I have decided to release a demo/beta of 4kg on the Chrome Web Store in a few days. It will only feature the first world (e.g., the first three levels of the game) but I want to get player feedback (and reward you, my loyal readers!) I also want to validate my existence and time spent making 4kg, as well as maybe make a bit o’ money from donations.

Here is all that I need to do before I release the demo/beta:

  1. Floating White Orbs into the save system
  2. Menu and level select menus
  3. [Secret gameplay system]
  4. Second enemy’s full AI
  5. First set of cutscenes
  6. Delete file functionality
  7. Death and climbing animations
  8. Help monitors (for in-game tips/tutorials)

Get EXCITE!!
