Kensuo Port (Tovi's Worklog)
More news.
ok, since two days ago, I've added about 20 sounds I found on the internet, and 12 songs which I've made myself at some point in time. (Only 4 of them I made yesterday). Some of them don't even fit that well into the game, but I don't feel like fixing that. It's better with music than without.
Also, the game is fully playable from beginning to end, with 2 bosses. The first boss is ready, and I love him :p (see earlier log)
The second boss isn't what I wanted it to be originally, but I got a bit lazy... You can kill him, and it can kill you, but it only has 1 phase. I like my bosses to have 2 phases. One phase where you can't hurt him and need to figure out how to hurt him, and the second phase would be the actual hurting part.
Lastly, I went back and edited every single level, to make them less annoying than the previous version. I understand in the last version it was really annoying that you could die in one go, if an enemy knocked you off a platform. Well, I removed alot of holes, so you have less "death" places to fall into, making the game less annoying.
Hopefully, I'll have this game uploaded by tomorrow.

4 songs in one day? Well I would call that pretty productive!
Other than that good you're trying to improve on the last version and I really can't wait to play this!

It's 1/4th finished, but I think it's about ready to be released once more for everyone to try out.
What I mean with 1/4th finished is that I wanted 4 times more levels in the final version, with 4 times more bosses, and even more different types of enemies.
Right now I have 10 levels, 2 bosses and a tutorial level. It will take you about an hour to finish.

Oh, but I should point out that I personally can finish it in about 10 minutes, or even less But I doubt anyone can play it as well as I can. I've not only programmed the entire thing, I playtested it about a million times in three years :p
Rincewind -> Yeah well, I also include the "level victory tune" and the "death tune" as a song, even though they're only a few seconds in length.
Since I wrote this worklog, I've actually been working on the game some more. The final boss is _almost_ ready. It needs some tweaking and then some sounds. After that, one more good look at the game, and I'll upload.

I'm sorry I'm gonna have to postpone the game with one more day.
I worked on it for 5 hours today, and right now I want to go to sleep.
The problem is I kept coming up with last minute tweaks that would improve the game.
Also, it took me a while to finally fix the second boss. He's perfect now, apart from his sounds. I need a slime sound... Anyone? :p
Tomorrow evening I'll go over everything once more, and upload. I'm so freaking close... I'm actually nervous about uploading it if it's not perfect. (Not literally, but I don't want to release a half-assed game)

That's weird. I didn't upload it as a full game. Oh well...

Hm strange, it happened before that it came in as full game when people said they didn't upload it as one. But anyway it's now in the WIPs section.
I still have to beat the creepy castle level before I will reply :p

I find the last level to be the easiest. Especially compared to the forest levels...
I'll prove it if you want :p

Not *easiest* in my opinion, but yes it can be pretty short and routined if you know exactly what to do.
