A Quick Update on Things


Hello, everyone.  First off, I apologize for the lack of posts the last few months.  Time seems to be getting away from me lately...  With that said, I just want to let everyone know what I've been up to and what I have planned for the future.  This is what I've gotten done so far:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The few temporary sprites have been replaced by their real sprites.

The second major area is finished. 

Controller support has been added.  ( And hopefully works properly)

The third major area maps are done.

The Handgun can now fire more rapidly and hopefully no more delay so you will be able to shoot and immediately run away if needed.

The knife damage has been doubled and does 3x damage to bosses.

Bosses can now be stunned once certain conditions are met.  ( I want to add this mechanic to normal enemies as well to help players save ammo.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the things I still need to work on:

The fourth area mapping, It's coming along nicely.

Event placing ( this will take the longest )

I will need to redo the enemy attack patterns, as the enemies are too simple.

Some bosses and mid bosses need to be redone.

Balancing enemies, health, damage etc.  This shouldn't take too long.

I still need to put together the remaining adult scenes, if things go well the next update should have a bunch of new scenes.

I had to cut some scenes out and instead of letting them go to waste, I will lock them in folders with a password and have said passwords be located in the game somewhere.

I'll add an actual jumping back animation for jumping back ability.  It will also be updated to allow jumping through all projectiles safely instead of just boss projectiles.

Adding more original music ( This will depend on my budget, hopefully I'll get a few new songs in before the next update)

MAYBE adding original sound effects, this depends on budget but honestly It's not very high on the priority list.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure when the next update will be done, with time flying by and not really feeling all that great lately it could be another month or two or three.  I'll push myself as far as I can to get it done though!

In the mean time, here are a few images from some upcoming scenes.


Once again, sorry for the lack of updates and thanks for being patient with me.
