one thing i’d immediately suggest for your game’s art to make it look better; avoid mixels and use a consistent palette
and what this means?
basically, mixels are the inconsistency of pixel sizes (controlled by the little 1-4 size slider in the sprite editor) in game art. you want to avoid this the best you can, and just stick with ONE given size (i personally like 2 a lot)
in terms of palettes, you know those preset color library in the sprite editor? it’s just a matter of picking one of those and completely SETTLING on it. i PROMISE your game will look so much better if you do so; i used to not do it, then sup3r87 mentioned somewhere that it’s a good piece of advice to make your game art look much better, and mhx air emphasized it for me. i’ve done that with my game and i can say it looks MUCH cleaner than it did before
that’s my advice for now, keep going though dude, i like this concept
I’ve started to work on the 5th dimension. I haven’t got that far because I don’t have many ideas. I’ve made it so that when the 5D button is clicked the radioactive tree plays an animation showing the possibility of if you touch it. This is where you see Object 17 (you, the protagonist) if they were infected with DE-12. The DE-12 starts to break Object 17’s body as they cry water mixed with the radioactivity before opening the sprite’s borders, jumping out, going back in and closing again. If anyone has any ideas for the 5th dimesion please let me know!
Maybe there could only be one secret society location that is found using the 6th dimension. I’m currently working on 6D and it unlocks a new area previously blocked off. Here’s my idea:
New area unlocked however another area is blocked
Switch back to your current timeline, area becomes unblocked
7D-Spider has been changed in the 5th dimension jesus christ what is that thing
I’ve started working on 6D so you can access a new area and when you switch back to 3D the wall will open. There’s no new area though so it just leads out of bounds. You can go see the secret grass stickman character or the weird frame i made (probably when i was considering the 4th dimension to use position & not alpha) which are both out of bounds. The rest is just white void
p.s. 7D-Spider’s sprite size had to be changed for the 5D 7D-Spider. I’ll probably also start working on caves or the thing that makes 7D-Spider not allowed to go to other timelines to stop the spread of DE-12 (deadly explosive radioactivity™, caused by your travels through the 7th dimension and some stupid power plant got ahold of it and i guess wanted to make a deadlier sequel to chernobyl)
Added a fan weapon. Basically a broken fan destroyed in the DE-12 explosion. You can’t touch it but neither can the radioactive ghosts.
Added a cave
Added buildings in said cave
The wooden blocks used to create your house & the ones in the cave have 4D animations now
7D-Spider can be dragged around now so he can move. If you’re on PC he can’t move using anything on the keyboard yet unlike Object 17 who can move with both the arrow keys & being dragged.
First video posted to the 7DW youtube channel which depicts me using a glitch i found while making the fans & also 7D-Spider’s movement to get to the 7D Wanderer farlands. This occurs when “is solid” is on but “movable” is off in the physics part of the object’s code. Hence the fan & 7D-Spider could go through walls and could also push other stuff through walls before I fixed it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2rdAHEmydD8
Minor update:
Working on the 7th dimension. 7D only turns the wooden blocks into bricks though. More differences will be made to 7D but not to the grass because idk how to make the grass change animations. I’ve tried coding it like any other block but it’s stubborn. Maybe I could make it a warzone idk
I’m so sorry if you experienced the most recent bug where 7D blocks won’t disappear after going back to the 3rd dimension. This is being fixed & it happened because I was half-asleep and didn’t remember to put the code in. I only discovered it after I pressed the 7D button in the newest video on the 7D Wanderer channel. The message for removing the 7D gate sprite has been named “Hello-FriezaFan” because I was recording a video about the Frieza Fan mod and also I can’t figure out how to remove the “Hello” but i don’t mind
If you press the save button, you save the game. This is because I stole code from here. It only saves if you’ve destroyed the trees though. I’ll try and make it so it saves what dimension you’re in.
oops sorry i just realised it probably couldn’t be accessed bc i’m a stupid idiot who sent the wrong link and when i’m on a new platform i wander round it like an old grandma trying to figure out how to use windows 11
