Boxtory|2D Platformer [DevLog]

I did a lot of things since the last post. So:

- You can now push boxes around. That was something many People mentioned. But there are still a few bugs right now.

- An also important Change is that the Robot now have a battery pack. Means that every secound the Player lose engery. And when the battery is empty you must load (you cant move).

- There is now a Little lightning (look at the gif)

- And there is a new trap: The Press

Should i always make a to you NN81, mercuryus ??

Hopefully you like the News

good

why not.. Roboxtory??

good TNT

I think it looks good. I'm sure you put in lots of longs hours to make this game. I sure as hell did with mine so far lol best of luck with this project 😀 if you have time check out my project in the works in progress feed. It's called Alien Assault

The tv filter seems cute, as does the prototype graphic style. When you release the demo I will play it gladly.

Hi Cryttexx

i would like to test your game with the current state.

There are some new things i really want to see.

For me 'Scirra Arcade' is ok...

mercuryus

Scirra Arcade for me too XD

Hi Cryttexx

I played the demo and I've left some feedback on your survey, but for the benefit of other forum users here some of it.

• Get rid of the TV filter, it doesn't add anything to the look; it just makes the sprites/graphics look a little worse than they should
• I don't think you need health AND the blue thing ("akku") - just have one or the other...
• the little orange tank bot has really glitchy movement when changing directions
• there's too many "walls of text" at the start... keep it simple, "here's the controls, etc... good luck"
• the player controls are very slippy... unless that's what its supposed to be like
• When I got to the end door it opened, but then closed before I got in....

Your game is very good ...

Pretty interesting prototype! Looking forward to it

sorry but on my old notebook, the prototype don't work, black screen > <

It took me a hour but now it works. I think you spend at least a hour in my game so extra for you the game is now on Scirra Arcarde too.

Unfortunately my old notebook has a webgl gpu blacklisted, I think the problem of not being able to play is related to this. I will try to play the nw.js version on another computer when I have an opportunity.

Very good game, the story is interesting. Congratulations.

Hello guys,

i did a lot of art. Boxes, Traps and so on... I also want to start posting on Tigscource maybe. But today i just want to show you the main character. I would be verry glad about any feedback.

Thank you

Cryttexx

I'm sorry for the long wait, but I've had so many problems and commitments lately, but in the end I also bought a new computer and I could try your game . really very cute, I do not know if you have been working on it since then, I hope so, because it would be interesting to play it with sound effects music and so many nice levels.

the graphics look great, good

I thank you so much dude. It always motivates me to get feedback. And yeah, i did so much in the last weeks, but just things wich are difficult to show here. I did graphics, new control, new window size, light, fx,...

Soon a verry big update will come.

Hopefully you are exited (-;

Cryttexx

great then, the important thing is that you do not discourage, there may be gray periods a bit for everyone but strength and courage. as long as you are at work it's always good news. look up updates

Update:

Hello guys,

I did a lot in the last weeks and im sorry that i didnt update the post but i tried to make a bigger update and not a lot of small ones. SO i made a lot of graphics wich you can see in the picture. I tried to make a lighting system and I really need your feedback: Do you like this the circle and the whole light system or would you say its to much? I got diffrent feedback so i would be glad about your opinions.

List of what i did:

- Made the character animations

- Tilemap

- a lot of traps

- a new light system (your opinion?)

- bug fixes

- a new control

- a new box system (you can now combinate boxes for example a tnt box and a flying box. More deatails next time)

- new window size

- new box graphics

- TigSource page: https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=62493.0

- (...)

What i want to do:

- A email list (I know for such a little game its not necassary, but i want to try a bit around with it)

- more grahics

- the HUD

- new box mechanic

NN81 You are so right. Everyone has this periodes. And that is ok. But personly feedback motivates me every time, so i dont have so many of this periods. I hope you enjoy the update.

Thats it for now. Im happy about every feedback.

hi Cryttexx

as I see it, the light system, it can always be a double-cut weapon

much depends on how you intend to implement it and exploit it, if it has a practical sense or wants to be just an VFX to create a bit of variety in the atmosphere of the game.

anyway, for a detailed feedback you should see it at work, with a gameplay video or at least a small .gif

from what i see in the photo the only thing I think is that with the AAcontrast a bit with the 'retro' style of the prototype, maybe I'd use a fx more pixelated, or cel shaded light.
