Update 11 - Saturday October the 8thToday I worked a bit on level generation. Cleaned it up quite a bit. It is more consistent and it rarely creates something unplayable. I also changed the wall texture so it matches the style of the game better. I don't think it looks to bad but I would be open to more suggestions.
Sometimes it doesn't fill the whole level with corridors. Although that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just means you get some weird stuff like this. What would you think if you saw this in a game? How its kinda open like that.
I also added a slime mob.
When you kill him he spawns other smaller slimes, a bit cliche' but eh.
Also you can see my cleaner level generation code in those shots.
@JakmanI realized today that I forgot to talk about the graphics size that you brought up!
I originally had the graphics much bigger, but it felt to big. I cut the size in half but that was probably to much. The graphics do look a ton better on the phone in real life. I'm not sure what it is but it does feel natural to have small graphics when I'm holding the phone. Maybe its just me though.
Honestly it would be quite a bit of work to change it at this point. Hardcoding numbers in is never a good idea buuut I did it anyways. At some point I might go through and see what I can do. It is probably not as much work as I think it will be but then again, it could be a lot more.
Anyways...
My next goal is to add a bat mob.
Bats
- always spawn in groups of 3 or more.
- random mindless movement.
- runs away from the player if alone.
- easy to kill
That will bring my mob count up to 4.
Goblins, Slimes, Small Slimes, and bats.
After that I'm going to work on adding 3 more potions.
Potion of Observation
- increases damage done with current equipped weapon
- Your skills of observation grant you better knowledge of the weapon in your hands.
Potion of Harden
- Increases defense permanently
- You feel your skin is more resilient to attacks.
Potion of Opportunity
- increases critical hit chance
- Observation of your enemies grants you knowledge of their weaknesses.
Just some stuff I wrote down.
