Turtles of Destiny looks really cool and I like the music too! When are you launching your Kickstarter?

[ernanir]

So nice to hear that.

Our kickstarter campaing will be in early 2016, probably on the first quarter.
Months before the campaign, would you honor us with a skype call to share some tips on how to avoid pitfalls and maybe some tips?

Thank you!

[wizardfu]

I'm working on an article that will share all the advice I have! Will it post it here soon. As far as a Skype call, give that article a look over and if you still have questions I'd be happy to.

Amazing! Looking foward to see the article. Do you have a release date and the place it will be at?

Lovely Day

Will probably write it in the next week or two. Still letting it all sink in. It will be up at wizardfu.com.

Superfluous boss explosions: check!

[wizardfu]

This slimy boss is actually pretty difficult.

I always love to see new zelda-like games : )

And where is HP shown? How to unserstand if your hero wounded?

[wizardfu]

Well, it's a cropped image so you can't see the health. It's either in the top left or the bottom right depending on whether you choose the regular HUD or the mini HUD.

Teleport cubes allow you to instantly transport from one of the cubes to the other.

Made some water hoppers, flies, frogs, ripples this week... Fun stuff that in no way affects gameplay.

[Green Gospod]

Nice.

This is so exciting to be procedurally generating overworlds that look more interesting to play [than the last procedural generator]. Next up is to work on the art for different types of areas: mountains, cliffs, waterfalls, deep jungles, rivers, canyons, etc.

That water shot is just beautiful.

Lots of new enemies created this week. One of them is this hidden crab-like creature that gets super pissed off when you nudge his rock.

Cool monster idea. I like how detailed your environments are given the low pixel resolution (kudos to baby frogs and butterflies), it really adds life to your game world and it seems that you control pretty well the details over gameplay readability.

What is the small dot that seems to travel through the paths of your world generation algorithm? Is it some sort of walker that checks the reachability of all the paths?

[ernanir]

Camera shake fitted really good.

[wizardfu]

@MrHelmut: cheers, thanks for saying that. Yeah, I feel like the environment has a long way to go when you look at some of the awesome games in production like Megasphere, Eitr, HLD, Rain World, etc. It's getting there slowly but surely though. So thanks for the encouragement. The small dot that travels through the world generation algorithm is just an animation, it doesn't actually check reachability. The way the maze generator works it naturally creates reachable paths by looping back over already generated segments if necessary.

@ernanir: thanks.

Working on items this week. The Ghost Sword uses your bioenergy / courage to fire projectile energy swords. The Fear Sword is the polar opposite, thriving off your fear. The Ice Sword freezes enemies (think Ice Beam from Super Metroid). The Fire Sword...
