It has been a while since I have updated the blog. It will be a short one. Just to let you know a little bit more about Gordita and what it is coming for the game.
Next update will be big. My teacher recommended me to do so many changes on the gameplay and functionality. Also I am planning to do some changes with the compatibility with html5 (this will be reflected in the future).
Gameplay
One of the biggest issue for my teacher. It is that the laser pointer doesn’t feel different. It is more like a mouse pointer than something new. He recommends me some changes and helped me out with the code.
Some assets must go. One is the box for moving to the next level. Also, I am replacing the life counter and move it to the top of the screen.
If you noticed that the hub doesn’t feel natural when the camera is moving. It looks little be funky. I have an idea on fixing it. Thanks to my teacher, there is a function to make the transition smoother while the camera is following Gordita.
Also there are some changes regarding the Pause menu. It is on the top of the screen instead of below the laser pointer.
I didn’t notice before, but when you loose and get back to the game. Your score are the same so, you can improve it and improve after each death. I am planning to solve that issue.
Functionality
I want to do so many things with the game. One of my limits, it is time. I am doing this at the side. So the time between work, my life and my studies are quite limited.
One of the things that it is more feasible. It is to implement a score system between WordPress and Game Maker 2. I have an idea on how to do it and it will be coming to my next projects.
Just to comment a little bit about it. It is a score system that you get on the game and reflect on the site. So you can have a track of the score and how many people got a higher score.
Another big change that it is unavoidable. It is to move the game from Game Maker 2.2 to 2.3. There are lot of improvements. So, it is a must. I haven’t done yet. So, I will write about it in the next blog.
HTML 5
The games is exported to HTML 5. I noticed that there are some issues that they aren’t in the desktop version of the game. First on, it is the music.
It won’t play it until the user click on something. I am planning to add a message to make sure, music is playing from the title to the end of the game.
I noticed that there are some issues with the rats. When there are more than 5 following you. The game will crash.
Those are some of the changes coming to the game. I will present the project on November 13th. So I need to do this changes for that day. On the following days, they will be reflect it on the site.
If you got an idea, criticism or question feel free to comment below.
