𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I uploaded MadMiffy as a draft on itch.io! I also customized the colors of the page to match the game’s color scheme (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
• Added directions to minigame 1 and minigame 2 to make it easier to understand how to play!
• ^ The directions also have animations (❀❛ ֊ ❛„)
• Shifted the positions of the hearts in minigame 2 to fit the directions text
• I now have a README.md file! I used Stardance’s tutorial to help me with it!

My Challenges

• I had trouble exporting my files into itch.io since this was my first time uploading a game (っ- ‸ - ς) but after some deep analysis of the WarioWare tutorial, I finally figured it out!
• I initially had no idea how to write a README file (can you tell I’ve never made one before (ᵕ—ᴗ—)), so figuring it out was pretty tough! The Stardance tutorial was very helpful!

That’s it! Thank you for reading if you read along till the end! Stay tuned for more! ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ

Update: ** MadMiffy** is now public! Play it on itch.io!!

MadMiffy - Fifth Devlog ⋆˚࿔

Hello!! (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ﾉﾞ I’ve once again made a couple of changes! I can’t believe how far MadMiffy has come! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I added a death screen!! Since it’s pretty similar to the winner screen, I was able to duplicate the winner screen and make whatever changes I needed, which saved me a LOT of time!
• The Miffys from both the death AND winner screens now have flying animations! yay! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´
• Commented out the settings button’s functionality because the settings feature has not been implemented yet
• Made it so that the level in the timer screen actually displayed the correct level
• Added wall barriers to minigame 1 so that the miffy sprite can’t fall off the screen
• The minigames_done variable now only decrements if its value is already above zero (this fixes a bug that occurred where the minigames_done variable became negative because the script didn’t check if its value was greater than zero)

My Challenges

• Scripting the death screen so that it actually appears was a challenge for me (⇀‸↼‶) I kept running into a null error for a while but a couple of google searches helped me immensely (thank you reddit (∩˃o˂∩)♡)

Anddd that’s it! Thank you for reading if you read along till the end! Stay tuned for the final touches! ദ്ദി( ˘̀ ֊ ˘́)

MadMiffy - Fourth Devlog ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

Hello!! (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) A couple of changes have been made! Let’s get right into it ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ!! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I created a working winner screen! It has a few animations, and it is so far looking pretty close to what I designed on Canva, so I am super ecstatic!
• Not only can miffy now flip horizontally, she now has walking AND idle animations now!! ·˚ ༘ ৻(  •̀ ᗜ •́  ৻)
• The quality of the Miffy picture from the title and timer screens is much higher now! I used ibisPaint X to create a clearer image

My Challenges

• Animating the walking and idle animations for the Miffy sprite was TOUGH!
  (っ- ‸ - ς) Shoutout to DevWorm’s Youtube tutorial on Godot animations for teaching me more about animations (ᴗ_ ᴗ。)

Anddd that’s it! Thank you for reading if you read along till the end! I continue working hard as per usual, bye!!

MadMiffy - Third Devlog ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ໒꒱

I’m back!! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ I’ve made a few changes to MadMiffy since the last devlog!! I will try to do these devlogs more often (they’re actually pretty fun to make!) If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I finally stylized the buttons in the title screen!! Specifically, I used StyleBoxFlats to stylize the normal and hover states of the Play, Settings, and Quit buttons! They turned out the exact way I wanted them to turn out and I am so grateful for that!! (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) Since I couldn’t upload a picture of the title screen from the last devlog, I attached a VIDEO of the title screen this time!! (woooooo!!)

• I adjusted the code to the Miffy sprite from minigame 1 (the platformer game) so that Miffy can now flip horizontally when the right arrow key is pressed! (Hurray for Miffy!! She doesn’t have to walk backwards anymore ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ) I attached a video to demonstrate this new feature!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

Anddd that’s it! This devlog was on shorter side, but thank you for reading if you read along till the end! I will make sure to continue working hard on this game
ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ byeee!!!  

MadMiffy - Second Devlog ˖ ݁♬⋆.˚𝄞

Hello!! (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ﾉﾞ Very long overdue, but nonetheless, here’s the second devlog for MadMiffy! Lots of changes have been made since the first devlog!! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!! 

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What I Did

• Minigame 1, Platformer: Control Miffy using the L/R arrow keys and space bar to collect hearts on the platforms (same hearts from the timer screen!)
• Minigame 2, Clicker: Use your mouse to click on the hearts on your screen before the timer ends
• Animation to the “MadMiffy” title in the title screen
• Used Canva to move the Miffy in title screen background from the left to the right side of the screen (and horizontally flipped it over)
• Used Canva to design winner/death scenes!! (attached a video (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶))

My Challenges

• It took me FOREVER to find the right Miffy on pinterest for the winner/death scenes, and I also spent way too long on ibisPaint X editing the Miffy to be exactly the way I wanted it to be haha (it turned out so good in the end though!! I wish I could log that as hours, but I attached a timelapse instead haha)
• I am still thinking of ideas for minigame #3… I will have to get back to you guys on this!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

Anddd that’s it! Thank you for reading if you read along till the end, and I will continue working hard to get this game into good shape ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ

Edit: I tried adding a screenshot of the new title screen background but I couldn’t get it to upload, so bear with me (っ- ‸ - ς)

MadMiffy - First Devlog ⋆˚꩜｡

Hi Everyone! This marks the first devlog for my new WarioWare-style game, MadMiffy!

Initial Ideas

When coming up with ways to differentiate my WarioWare game from the tutorial, I thought of Miffy, a cute character that matches the whimsical vibe I wanted. I immediately created a Pinterest board to gather ideas, and went on Canva to craft the background image shown in the title and level scenes.

Buttons

When I got to the part of the tutorial where it made me create the “Start Game,” “Settings,” and “Quit” buttons, I initially wanted to create customized buttons through TextureRects. I tried coming up with different ideas on Canva, but none of them really stuck out with me… I will try again soon! If it doesn’t end well, I will at least be changing the colors of the buttons, because they totally don’t fit with the color scheme right now. Stay tuned!!

Garlic and Fonts

Aside from the background, I also scoured Pinterest to find the perfect “garlic” icon, where I decided on the heart-shaped button that fit perfectly with the background. For the text, I used a font called Jersey15. I had used it previously in a separate project, and I felt that the pixel font would pair well with the rest of the game. 

That’s it for now! I am very excited to see where MadMiffy will go ^^
