devlog #15
so i think the game is finally finished its not as long as i wanted nor was i able to get the twist to work (i can’t 3d design very well) and I have lost the passion to work on the game it is a finished version playable takes about 10 minutes for those who want to but id rather have a finished playable version for everyone who would wanna play it then just leave it but basically it has 3 levels tutorial and then 2 main levels they are short but they all have boss battles and some form of enemy there is music, SFX and all, and backgrounds, there is a title screen and a portal to transport you from level to level once you finish there is a you win screen with a button to return to main menu there is themes and everything

worked on the tutorial level with text on how to play movement etc, also added 4 new enemies 3 bosses and one normal enemy but will keep them a secret untill i utalise them
Devlog #13
added multiple things like new enemy to a point haven’t actually made the script yet. fixed and added the themes for the home and game over screen with there being two cave and village, with music on the way. I also added new attacks for the player where it has air attacks where it freezes and then accelerates down to deal more damage that is basically it it was mostly the player script that was a pain

im going to be honest this devlog is like 4 days’ worth of 30-minute stuff i think i showed everything i added but i can’t remember (stupid me) what i do know is that i have started and failed at a moving background with like 6 layers and attempted to make themes which I’ll explain/ show why at a later date but i think that is it (let’s not make this mistake again)
Devlog #11
over the past three days I have worked little on torchbearer, and it is going well I have updated the level design a bit not fully completed, added a coin with an animation, and am working on a vase that can be broken and it will drop 1-3 coins, I also added a tile screen, game manager where it can track coins bosses and levels and stuff and a game over screen, now I just need to finish implementing then into the actual game so they come onto the screen at the correct time and the buttons work, I am also planning to add more sprites to the game and start working on the first boss
I’m going to try this devlog thing it seem like a cool way for me to keep track
devlog #10
in today’s 1 hr coding session I actually got a lot done, I added some new animations for the player like slide which when activated it actually gives the player a speed boost, I enabled the player to attack and kill the bat and added its dying animation. I also added a new death screen where it fades to black still need to make a way to actually start again when you die, I fixed the spikes so the player just dies not fall through the ground it fades to black.
Next session my goal is to add more enemies, start working on the tutorial level and expand on the cave level as well as start other levels and if im feeling nice i might give you a sneek peak at the twist at the end so follow along but take your time this might take a while with the little progress i have made in about 10 hours.
worked on a spike where it will reset the character a.k.a the character will die and the scene will reset. I also went the complex route of making it with a collision polygon shape instead of a normal collision shape now I just need to work out how to get the killzone script working with the spikes on every scene so i can just add the spikes scene
added enemy attacks where the player can now die when health reaches zero and it also follows the player you can’t kill it yet still need to set up the zones and stuff but at least it took me 40 minutes to write some code
built an enemy follow feature which allows the bat to follow the player and attack but after one attack it freezes and does not follow or attack again next time, I need to fix that and also add player damage to allow the user to kill enemy’s
added the foundation for the bat script and player damage but will need to continue on it with hitboxes and deal damage
started on an enemy attack system where the enemy will follow you and try to attack also started on the player attack and health system, aiming to finish by tomorrow
Added a new/first enemy with animations.
My next goal is to make a tile set for one of my levels and get enemies attacking and dealing damage
added more attacks so they link up it will have a count and depending on the count it will play a different player animation
attack animation added
The player movement script is done and allows for movement in the 2d game with sprite animations and the vector flip, so it flips based on the direction the character is moving
