[Blog] September Plans - Game Dev Roadmap
Added 2023-09-06 04:07:35 +0000 UTCSo, we've got 4 weeks until October. Ideally, I'd like to publish a working demo within the first week of the month. I don't need a super fancy presentation - like a proper title screen or even background music. All that's really important is that the game plays the way it should.
Here's what I want to do:
- Additional Tiles: Some new level design sprites for more visual diversity.
- New Traps: Perhaps some spikes or objects that can fall from the ceiling upon proximity.
- Game Over: An evocative illustration depicting a defeated Elayne.
- New Levels: Perhaps 2-3 levels (or rooms) seems like it could be a good amount.
Extra:
- New Sub-Weapon: Perhaps a replacement for the axe, something that shoots upwards.
- Finalized Sub-Weapon Swap System: Right now there's no way to pick up new weapons.
- Boss: This I'm a bit less certain about... It might be a bit more involved than I can do now.
These extras are not essential, but would be nice to do if there's time to do so. I haven't touched the project in several months, so I could handle doing more advanced stuff like boss enemies... I can consider anything extra (and any bug fixes) after doing the essential stuff first.
Don't forget to eat & sleep.

The eventual plan is for each level to have its own unique game over screen. But we only need one for now since it's just a demo.
