Change log:

4/22/14

• starting to put everything in prefabs
  • I'm so stupid, this would've made things so much easier if I had these weeks ago
• experimental combat fully implemented
• sifters charge their attack
  • hold onto the attack button to charge
  • the longer you charge, the greater the force and damage dealt by the attack (up to a cap)
  • discourages mashing the attack button because of low base damage and force
  • move speed decreases while charging
    • discourages holding down the attack button the whole game
  • bug where sifter sometimes refuses to charge after getting hit while charging
• sifter animations transition much smoother and more accurately
  • lost the idle animation though
• enemy animation changes upon being hit
• sifter health does not reset upon room change
• added a health regen sphere in the start room

4/18/14

• art/environments:
  • changed forest door sprite image
  • adjusted sprite layering (so transparent forest walls will no longer be visible through any forest doors)
• experimental combat mechanics and animations (all in Room2)
  • attacks push the target, the force is variable
  • sifter attack delay to coincide with animation (still needs polish)
  • sifter can attack while moving without breaking the animation (still needs polish)
  • sifter reaction animation to being hit
  • sifter death animation upon being killed
  • enemies attack animation only plays when they've successfully hit the player

4/16/14

• added new scene: Room4
• enemies can now only damage the player (friendly-fire removed)
• added one track of background music
• the respawn point can now be in any room
  • press "F" to drop the respawn point at the player's location
  • unrestricted usage for now
• changed format of all sprites from Truecolor to either 16 bits or Compressed to stay under Git's 100MB file limit
• added repressed memory/victory condition
• added victory screen

4/14/14

• most environmental art (walls, doors, trees) now implemented as sprites
• room point lights have been removed
  • instead the room's ground is self-illuminating
• player animation mirrors appropriately when pressing the movement keys separately
  • fixed idle and attack animations to come
• player is followed by an animated orb

  • semblance of enemy AI:
    • enemies follow the player
    • smaller enemies will try to hold the player down for the larger enemies
  • enemies and players have health
• death:
  • enemies destroyed upon losing all health
  • respawn point for player:
    • opening a chest will allow a player to respawn at that location upon death

  • player sent to Game Over screen if killed without a respawn point

4/2/14
