Moonstone & Topaz in: Ho-meow-lone

توضیحات بازی

Topaz and Moonstone have been captured by the RoboCulkins! Escape their clutches! This is a rogue-lite-lite-lite for Secret Santa Jam 2021. I tried my best to work in the preferences of the giftee as well as the titular cats! Good stuff: It's a thing you can play. That is better than I usually do with jams so I'm happy.The giftee owns the titular cats, and I thought for a bit on how a player could control two avatars. I ended up with the spinning cats!I enjoyed animating the RoboCulkins a lot. I used to do really small animations when I was a kid, but working as a software engineer doesn't lend itself to many chances to play around with animation.I like the art style. Wait, hear me out! I think mixing stuff together collage-style is really fun. Plus, as a child of the flash age, when games were crude and oftentimes ugly, it just felt right.This was my first time recording my own sound effects for a game!Writing the room generation algorithm took a while. I was on day 2 of working all day and my brain was fried. Once I got the random walk working though I was psyched! Bad stuff: There's no boss. I wanted a boss, but I ran out of time.The DVD-logo-esque movement of the RoboCulkins came from several hours of trying to spin my own pathfinding. I had wanted to do something that used colliders to inform the enemy where to go. Obviously, I gave up!Lack of variety in general. I wanted deeper rogue-y stuff: more enemy types, more obstacle types, pickups.The music is pretty awful. I didn't even plug my MIDI controller in because I was so down to the wire. I just put some beep and boops together in 5 minutes and called it good enough.Default unity UI stuff......
