Devlog 10!

Worked a lot on the game.
For one I finally added the health and point system to level 2 and 3. I made sure it stayed over each scene with a global autoload script which took me some time.
I also worked a LOT more on level 3. I kinda need to lock in and finish in a few days. So I worked a lot on level building.
Next I need to finish up the king and ending, and I should be done!

Devlog 9

Finished level 2
I added a lot of new features since the last devlog but the most prominent maybe would be dialogue!
I basically created a villager that you can talk to just to give you some instruction on what to do.
Other than that I added more to the actual level and added another fox near the end.
And I ended it with a castle that you have to enter.

Finally done with the HackPad!

So I finished soldering the PCB and everything works fine! I also printed the case and put everything together.
I just need to ship now!

Devlog 8

Big update
Continued building the game, and started by adding another level. This level will be above ground, with new enemies and features.
So far I have set it up for building, as well as added a fox, that took way too much time to code its death, and animations. I will also add other animals soon.
I finished up the enemies in the first level too. But currently haven’t added any more sound effects or music for the new stuff.

Devlog 7

Added simple enemies.
Shipped a while ago but decided to continue on the game. I chose to first start making some new enemies.
It was easy until I had to code the animations and health loss, so a lot of my time went into that. But I pretty much got it to work. I still need to code the death of the enemy though.

Devlog 7

Ready to submit!
I finished the firmware, and I’m ready to submit.
I also decided to add some diodes to the PCB for each key. So I had to change a lot, including the case.
But I am done now and everything is set up in my Github repository for submiting.

Devlog 6

Made the basic firware for the hackpad.
Started to make the firmware in VSCode. So far I have made a version with just the keys coded.
Still need to add the LEDs and OLED screen.

Devlog 5

Finished the case.
Made a simple case for then PCB to sit in. Added a cutout for the USB, OLED screen and the keys.
Might still add a design or something in the top right above the microcontroller.
Need to code firmware now.

Devlog 4

Big update.
I’m now fully done with the PCB!
I added LEDs, and and OLED screen. Finished wiring everything too. Hopefully I just need to code firmware now and design the case.

Devlog 3

Made my PCB
Made my PCB following the guide but then I decided to change it to be my own.
So I scrapped everything and started again. I added 9 keys and wired it all. I left space for an OLED screen or something on the top left, that I’m going to add later.

Devlog 2

Worked on the cad part of my hackpad.
I made the case for the hackpad using Onshape.
I know that I have to make it my own, but I’m just following the guide for now, and I’m going to change stuff later.

Devlog 1

Finished schematic and imports.
This is the start of me making my very own hack pad!
I imported the care package and installed KiCad, Lapse, and lookout, so everything is working smoothly now.
I had some trouble with the default KiCad files but I managed to import all of them manually.
Going to start working on the PCB now!

Devlog 6

Finished the game!
Made some tweaks and then exported the game. I then made my own page on itch.io and uploaded the game there.
Dungeon Climber is now live so go check it out!

Devlog 5

Added a win screen and a game over screen
I created a simple win and lose screen with a restart and quit option each.
It took a long time to make the win screen animation, but the music for both of them was really easy.
I’m fairly done with the game, and just need to make some tweaks and fixes until I’m ready to ship.

Devlog 4

Added music and sound effects.
Put some background music for the main menu and level, and had to figure out how to make transitions between them using tweens. 
Also made some sound effects for stuff like opening chests and taking damage.

Devlog 3

Added a health and points system. Created a simple health system with 3 lives that resets the level when you lose all of them. Took a long time for debugging and fixing the code to make the player die properly but I was finally able to make it work.
Along with that I also made a point system which just counts the amount of chests you open, which was easy enough. 

Also made some changes to the main menu animations. 

Devlog 2

Finished level building, and added a main menu.

It took about an hour just to find and extend the image for the animation, but actually making the animation was relatively easy.
I also made sure the character can’t move after going in the exit door.
