• New Enemy; Status Effects (v0.14a)
  November 17, 2024 by QuinnCG

  First off, new enemy. A bit hard to see here as he's in his max fiery state, but that blob of fire in the top middle of the screen is the new enemy. He's made of wax and thus a candle. Very much WIP a... Continue reading

  
• Staff Pick Up Sequence (v0.13a)
  November 14, 2024 by QuinnCG

  A little animated sequence that plays when the player picks up a new staff they've found. Soon I'll add to this sequence an actual transfer of durability between old and new staff; this way if the pla... Continue reading

  
• Crosshair Charging (v0.12a)
  November 13, 2024 by QuinnCG

  1

  A number of small polish-type improvements. I also, finally, added crosshair charging to the UI; this means staffs with a charging feature will show the current value of the charge inside the crosshai... Continue reading
• Chest Polish (v0.11a)
  November 12, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Nicer chest art and opening FX; that's all. Oh, and a hat... Continue reading

  
• Mana (v0.10a)
  November 11, 2024 by QuinnCG

  You now have a mana bar that depletes with every spell cast. It regenerates rather quickly after a short delay of no casting. The idea of this is to act as a semi-reload mechanic and to have more bala... Continue reading
• Chests (v0.9a)
  November 10, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Some rooms spawn with chests. Press 'e' or 'f' to open them. A chest will have either a randomly chosen staff in it or a heart that heals you. Red hearts heal for 1 HP and golden hearts heal for full... Continue reading

  
• Fallback Staff (v0.8a)
  November 09, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Now when your staff runs out of energy, you swap to a fallback staff that has infinite energy. Also, whenever a staff, you have, loses all its energy or if you pick up a new staff, your previously equ... Continue reading
• Staff Durability (v0.7a)
  November 08, 2024 by QuinnCG

  A few tweaks here and there and staff now has durability, displayed in the top-left corner of the screen as a purple bar. You can't use a staff when it's out of durability. In the future, I will add a... Continue reading
• Combat (v0.6a)
  November 07, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Rooms you haven't conquered yet will lock you inside and trigger the enemy AI to begin attacking you. Once you kill all enemies in the room, the doors will unlock and the room will become conquered. A... Continue reading

  
• Bug Fixes (v0.5a)
  November 06, 2024 by QuinnCG

  There are some new sound effects, sure, but this update was mainly centered around fixing bugs and consolidating the backend architecture... Continue reading
• Fireball! (v0.4a)
  November 05, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Among other things, the player can now cast fireballs... Continue reading

  
• Projectiles (v0.3a)
  November 04, 2024 by QuinnCG

  I added a number of things this patch: ambient sounds, hurt VFX, hearts, etc. However, the highlight is definitely the projectile system. And while it's not complete, for instance, it's missing homing... Continue reading

  
• Art (v0.2a)
  November 03, 2024 by QuinnCG

  The environment art style has been largely worked on in this update. It definitely needs more props and I haven't experimented with pits the player can fall into (abyss/lava/acid), but the general sty... Continue reading
• Dungeon Generation (v0.1a)
  November 02, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Added a framework for character movement. Both the player and enemies share a core movement backend while having their own scripts specific to them. Added dungeon generation on a macro level. The actu... Continue reading
