Hello fellow internauts, how are you holding up? The purpose of this post is to announce a new game I made. Don't expect a lot since it was made in 48 hours. Nonetheless, it is a product that I would consider "finished". Anywho, here it is:
Not gonna lie, my sanity might've been jeopardized at times during the development of this game, but it was worth it.
It is a turn-based game where you have to defeat different types of robots in order to get the highest score you can before they destroy (kill?) you, you are a robot as well. This is not going to be an easy task, you need to carefully choose which robot to attack. Is it gonna be the red one that restores your health? The yellow one that restores your energy? or the blue ones that instantly grants you a super attack?
And beware of the minibosses! While they reward bountifully, their healthbar is behemothic. Can you defeat 'em all and surpass my highscore of 49750? Let's find it out!
That's... the premise. Here's some mockups I did before making anything. At first I was going for a 240x400 canvas, as you can see in the picture.
But I quickly regretted it because making the sprites would've been a chore whith that many pixels. So I settled for a 120x200 canvas.
After drawing more characters and polishing the UI, I ended up with this final version:
You can download sprites.zip here.
Programming this was no light work, lemme tell you. Due to the fact that I had never used Godot before, I had too look up how to do every single goddamn thing I wanted to implement. But honestly, it wasn't that bad. What I like about Godot is the lack of clutter and how easy it is to export things.
All things considered, it was a nice way of spending my weekend, I had a jolly time. My initial idea suffered some changes, but it's fine. How incredibly easy it is to overscope, eh? I made the sprites entirely using the ENDESGA 32 palette. I got the fonts from dafont and the SFX from sfxr.
Lastly, I wanted to thank ppekko for the awesome music, go check his stuff out because it is incredible.
That is it for today's post, thank you for reading it! Catch you next time.
