Hello, it's been a while since I last wrote anything here but lately I've been working on remaking this game from scratch and I thought I would share some work I've done. I've been manly focusing on making the game easier to understand and more user friendly and hopefully more fun. For example there no longer is a cooldown on abilities and instead you use your bullet to cast it. For example here's an ability that lets you teleport back to some position.
When teleporting back again you switch position with your bullet, and also to make the player easier to read it loses some of its color when it doesn't have a bullet to shoot. The main reason I'm doing this is just that I find it fun to revisit old projects and see what I would do different now that I have hopefully improved in my skills so I can learn from my past mistakes. I don't have too much spare time though, so it's a slow paced work flow but I'm aiming to have remade the game to its current state this year at least! I also took the opportunity to improve my pixel art with this new design of the Tundra levels.
Of course most of the things I'm showing here is a work in progress and is probably gonna get changed before I release anything. I'm planning on adding a gif for every ability to play when choosing abilities since it can be hard to understand by text what an ability does and I hope that a small gif will make it easier.
I've working with drawing polygons in a 2d space and tried some kind of fog effect for the level select screen.
I've also been experimenting with mods and right now you can make your own abilities and custom tiles but it still needs some work to be done before i can say for sure it will get released in the final version. I'ill keep you guys updated on the development!
