Is this Good news or Bad news? That is the question.
The answer is really up to you, but regardless, that's what's happening here.
So in the course of constructing the demo for The Way Back, I learned a few new tricks and skills for developing. I also learned that I did most of the coding in the full game Completely Wrong.
Thus, I've been working on a new engine for The Way Back. It's much smoother, and I've completely Redone some of the systems.
Here's a comparison to show some of the new stuff:
The first thing you'll probably notice is that the screen is significantly bigger. This allows for more action, bigger bosses, and prettier graphics in the game.
The HUD is another main difference. Instead of a set amount of hits, I made the life bars ala Kingdom Hearts, with Pittio and the boss both having similar looking HUDs. Health is still recovered by picking up health pieces, but now the pieces directly fill up your life bar. (Also ala Kingdom Hearts)
Many other things are being overhauled: The explosion graphics are flashier, the movement engine is slightly different, the storyline is changed, and the weapon system is going to be much smoother than before.
Sorry for anyone who was expecting this to be released sooner than this, but I just didn't feel right knowing that I would release something sub-par if I didn't redo the game.
So there's the deal. It'll be a while before it's here, but when it is, I promise it'll be epic.
I honestly didn't think this game could get THAT much better, but everything just looks so much better now(not that they weren't great before). Can't wait for the game to come out. and this just might be the greatest klik game ever
I really enjoyed the demo. It's not so great finding out that the full game is going to take longer to be released, but good to see that you're developing your own skills. Good luck working on the new version!
