TAoC News #3: We Have Progress!

Instructions

Main Focus: Where We're At In Development For people with short attention spans: Scroll to the bottom for the gist of this News issue. To navigate the screenshots, press the left and right arrow keys, or tap/click the screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, guys. Thank you for checking out this new TAoC News. I would like to get something out of the way, first, however. I am posting this on my new account I deleted TheRealMLGTGCollab. It started to seem sort of confusing, and also I want as many people to see these as possible. So, look here for everything TAoC. There will be no more "official accounts." Sorry for that. (Oh, yeah, and it was also really cumbersome to log in and out of that account every time I wanted to make some TAoC stuff.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, back to the main focus. We have our first level (aka The Tutorial Level) fundamentally complete. All it's missing is some Pepsi Cat dialogue, and it's done. Now, it's very short. Like, I beat it in 15 seconds at best. And how do I know that? There is a clock running while you're playing the level now, and the time adds up when you complete it. And no, it's not just fancy variable work. Take a look at the screenshots I put in this issue and you will see. Also, instead of it outright telling you the rank right now, I made it to where the analog clock tells you the rank. 6:09 is S, a clock shaped like an A is A, 4:16 is B, 5:24 is C (because Julian has voiced chewy before, and the plan still is to have him voice chewy) 11:34 is D, and 3:00 is L rank (because it's shaped like an L) The way to beat the level is to collect all 3 pieces of your drivers' license, and you end the level by getting into a car. However, it won't let you drive off if you don't have all 3 pieces. They're pretty easy to find, though. One's on the car, another's underground, and the last is in a trash can that you have to open by slashing it. Also, the title screen logo is done. And the Specterslappers demo has been converted into the map engine. Still no graphics, though. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a final comment, I would like to announce my current state with Hot Garbage Games. Currently, I have been suspended from the studio for 1 more day. Not elaborating. I think Lilly will add me back tomorrow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, that's all I have to talk about. Next TAoC News is next week, June 2. In that one, I'll be sure to have Pepsi Cat up, the Specterslappers engine for the map, and a proper way to restart the game without pressing the green/blue flag. Bye!! Gist: -1st level done. No Pepsi Cat yet. -Map screen is now a 1-sprite Specterslappers engine -TAoC stuff on this account now. Not subject to change. -We have a rank system based on time.
