Progress on V2 Update

After taking a well-deserved break (if I do say so myself) a few weeks ago, I have begun on full swing again on proceeding with the next post-jam update. I have a few plans for this next major update which includes:

• One more set of Levels

This will consequently means adding at least 1 more new object which you can interact with. I have had a few ideas in mind  including rising lava, 'time anchors' (cannot rewind beyond them),  throwable projectiles but I have settled on one other object that I am quite satisfied with that I think can add some much needed complexity in the puzzle elements of the game.

Currently, I am making progress in drafting levels for this other set of levels, designing necessary introductory levels and puzzles.

Stay tuned to find out what that object will be! I will be updating about it in the next devlog, or follow me on twitter to see.

• Fresh Coat of Paint

I'm personally quite proud of how the game looks now. This includes improved appearance of Chrono Guy with his relevant animations! I have detailed the tilemaps and added some more backgrounds much better. This is already such a drastic difference compared to what the original jam version of the game looked.

What do you guys think? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

• Final additions and polish to UI and cutscenes

The addition of an option menu in the previous polish update was relatively minor for what I have in mind in terms of final neccesary UI stuff I think would round up the game. I am currently thinking of revisiting the art of UI menus, and might have plans to change a few things around.

But more importantly, I feel like having a short cutscene in the beginning and the end of the game to better detail the backstory of Chrono Guy and the Time Cup.

The current jam version of Chrono Guy and the Fabled Time Cup is available to play here! If you are interested in following my work, I have a twitter account you can follow for more up-to-date images that I release whenever I can.

Thanks for reading and here's hoping you'll enjoy the next post-jam update. Cheerios.
