I added grassy terrain today. Very happy with the result. :) I don’t plan to add any specific functionality to it. It’s just for visual variety.
(If you’re wondering about the gray background, it’s what I had to do to fit the file size limit…)

I’m done with the new background for now, so I started working on remaking the tutorial input prompts. Now they either show buttons or keys depending on the last player input. The current demo on itch only shows keys even though it supports gamepads.
Also I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but reeling doesn’t use the same bindings as aiming anymore. This mean you can switch the “reel in” and “reel out” bindings if you want! I know the reeling felt backwards for a lot of people, so I’m hoping this makes the game more intuitive.
new WIP background :)
I looked at this gif at work and it really looks like trash on some monitors… Even without f.lux it looked so dull. It might help that I already planned to increase the contrast, but still It’s a bit upsetting…

I’m back on the grappling hook game and here’s today’s progress! I wasn’t satisfied with the old particles, so I redid all of them. I’m no longer using Game Maker’s particle system. I hoped it would get revamped for GMS2, but nothing changed and it’s just too limited for me now.
I’m taking the conversion to GMS2 as an occasion to refactor and redo some weak parts of the demo, wich is why some things are missing from the GMS2 version at the moment. It’s also partly why it’s taking so much time!
Some things that have changed since last update are the physics(grapple and player), level editor(completely remade), level transition animation and some other visual elements.
Until next time! Thanks for looking :)
Alright, I’m leaving this as it is for the moment. I need to stop fooling around. I have a game to finish!!
Anyone has any recommendation on where I could go? I’m looking for a place with:
Otherwise this is still better than Twitter for me, so I’m not moving. (Like it makes a difference this blog is on life support anyway lol)
