I’ve got the basics sorted, a laid out plan and have started the menu. My main highlight so far has been getting the file checking working, so it greets the user by it’s name if they have it stored in the user data file and otherwise it catches it rather than crashing on FileNotFoundError.

Quite a lot of styling changes, and now the dark mode is on the same website (as per feedback) and remembers using localstorage the previous selection.

Made quite a few changes including changing the customise button to a pencil, as per feedback I received.

Lots of changes, added more text, thanks to playing, slightly overwhelming character falling death screen. Ready for first ship I think :D

Added a few changes, including title page animation improvements to make it look more lively.

Started adding animations, improvements and also fixing up the look of some of the screens. You won message also changes colour now

Death scene and other touch-ups

Minigame 2 finished, other fixes, win screen created with randomly falling cats

Added some more to the game, continuing in the tutorial.
I have got the scripts connected, so collecting 3 stars goes to the next level.

I have added quite a bit, with the timer now working and started on the platformer minigame. The stars took a while, as I had forgotten to create a seperate animation for each (as they are in different positions).

I have started the game

So far, I have:

• A simple menu with working buttons
• Timer countdown working, and start of second level

I have done lots of small touch-ups, fixes, and other small adjustments like making the completion saving to localstorage work in all cases. I also slightly changed the README, and changed the screenshot there. I am ready for my second ship!

This took a lot of effort, but I have finally got it so the site remembers what levels you have completed! (Through localstorage). The level in question goes green after it has been completed some way or another. Failing the level doesn’t count.

I have improved some of the CSS. One of the problems I had was with the “about” part on my main screen being over top of other containers with different scaled screens. I made some improvements for that. I also changed some colours, including with the buttons. I made it so the header slightly fades on hover. I also did some other minor changes.

I made some UI changes.
I did some others changes, but my main goal was to start on the user interface and CSS. I have made some changes, including changing the top header margin, the colours, and the font family (I got one from Google Fonts).

I have made some slight improvements to the header and, also, I have made it so every level links back to the menu page. In my demonstration the domain changes. That is because I have a separate domain that caching is bypassing currently for debugging, but the one the site uses is the one still at deployment readiness.
(So while I go cmlin.win -> charleilei.dpdns.org, everyone else will stay the same).

Thanks for all the feedback from the first ship!

I appreciate all the help!

Here is everything I have done since the last ship:

• My free domain grant came through, so now I have a domain that I have set on Cloudflare to not cache, allowing me to keep hosting my site fast through cloudflare, while also using the domain for testing.
• Started working on level four files
• Improving CSS, following suggestions
• Updated README slightly
• Fixed some grammar and incorrect coding I missed (but didn’t affect the visibility at this point)
• Removed the footer from all the actual level pages as it kind of got in the way in cases, this got mentioned in feedback, and it isn’t really necessary, so it is only on the main page

What I plan to do:

• I didn’t get any feedback about not enough stories, so that isn’t a priority here (but eventually I will do a lot more with the levels
• IMPORTANT: I did get a lot of feedback about improving the UI and CSS, and keep consistency especially with the rounding of corners
• Other small adjustments based off feedback
• Link to the menu through the heading on each page
• Add images
• Improve endings

Addressing other feedback

I got feedback suggesting adding a back button. This is quite a good idea, although I won’t implement it in this case. Lots of the stories have endings and I don’t think the user should be able to back out. And, in some cases, it goes to a separate html file. In those cases the user can simply press the back button on their browser.

Thanks for reading this!
