Weekly Progress Report #2 - Plans for 0.0.4
🕑 Added 2025-06-09 22:39:36 +0000 UTCHi all, wanted to go over what the goals are for the next version.
First and foremost, I think adding a gallery will be beneficial, especially as I add more and more enemies. This shouldn't be too hard in theory.
Next, I certainly am a bit worried about designing levels and keeping them from being repetitive. There are two ways I think I can achieve this:
One is adding more verticality to the game. I have zero plans to make this a platformer, but by adding ladders and a second floor to some levels I think I can make levels more dynamic and interesting.
The second thing is adding traps to the game that each have their own way of people overcome. The player may have to disarm them, avoid them by sprinting past quickly, or forgo them from triggering by crouching past.
These should hopefully cause both playing and making levels more engaging.
Now as I mentioned in my last update, adding a horse enemy will happen in this next patch. However, I still want to do another enemy poll and mechanic poll but I am a bit worried with adding too much to my plate, so I might wait a week before posting any of these polls. Also, I wanted to quickly talk about the suggestion tiers (Loyal Trustee and True Advocate tiers), if you support me on one of those tiers please let me know your enemy/mechanic suggestions through a direct message here on Patreon (I'll try and contact you first but I don't be afraid to message me about it). I think I may need to come up with a better way of taking these suggestions in the future as I have run into the situation multiple times where someone has supported me on one of those tiers but I have been not able to contact them through Patreon. I'm new to this so I am up for suggestions! (I know the possibility of a Discord server was proposed but I worry that not all supporters will join and therefore I will still have issues contacting them)
Thanks again for the support, it really means a lot!
