You should add a drip easter egg

Update time! After a little while of panicking, I fixed the worm and made it much simpler, with it being one object moving in a loop over and over. I also replaced the death system so instead of using the View object, there is a manual kill block.

Alrighty, I’ll check it out!

Also, I added arrow key controls so you can play with WASD or arrows keys.

dey tunneling worms

MelloJello · May 30, 2021, 2:16pm

Yes, they are big tunneling worms. Wormy bois

MelloJello · May 30, 2021, 7:01pm

Can you spot the difference?

It looks worse in the game.

00T_Free · May 30, 2021, 8:14pm

Yep, character sprite is different, background is different, different heights, messed up overlay at the top of the right one and shows white background.

Ding ding ding! We’ve got a very astute person here.

Update time! After using F3Art’s metroidvania template to help (also known as copy and pasting, I will credit) I have a particle thingie so that’s fun. I didn’t completely copy and past the code, I adjusted to fit with the game so that’s something.

Is this out to play yet? It looks fun, ngl

Can’t wait to see what you do with this!

MelloJello · May 31, 2021, 7:34pm

Thanks! I’m also excited about Sol. The game is going smoother and right now it’s just about implementing ideas.

rcreger · May 31, 2021, 7:37pm

Thanks!

It looks really nice, so good luck with any efforts you make in the game:D

MelloJello · May 31, 2021, 7:39pm

Good luck on your stuff too

MelloJello · May 31, 2021, 8:03pm

Also, @00T_Free could you playtest, I changed the camera and I wanna see if it looks good

00T_Free · May 31, 2021, 8:09pm

Alrighty, will do!

MelloJello · June 1, 2021, 7:59pm

This was just a slight thing that I made in the morning. When the player jumps, there is a bit of squash and stretch. I’m lazy and don’t want to animate my character so this is about as good as it will get for now.

00T_Free · June 2, 2021, 1:01am

I think it’s BECAUSE of the animation. When I jump up it plays the character moving up and down while I’m already jumping, giving a weird effect. Try to have the cloak go up and the legs spreading a bit?

MelloJello · June 8, 2021, 6:29pm

Update time! I haven’t done much this week but I tweaked the jump and I added a few sound effects. Just fancy ambience and a faint walk but at least it’s something. Other than that, I made the background a background object (Thank you Procrastination Update) I’m also gonna add eyes to the worm sprite so that it looks like a worm. Anyway, bye bye

MelloJello · June 8, 2021, 10:08pm

Also, I added a interpolated camera because I saw the tutorial and wanted to do it and I did so yeah
