Winstep Devlog#1


This is my first game so this is my first time doing a devlog lol

I'll probably do this a bit different than other developers but you get the gist.

(Oh and yes everything was made by me)

(P. S. X = Canceled development plans, V = Checked off plans that were completed)

Game Title: Windstep

Day 1:

- Created placeholder asset for player and obstacles V

- Created a border around the player that stops player from going above screen and ends the game if 

player falls below screen V

- Created a score tracker that counts how many times jumps are made V

- Displays Jump Score V

- Gave player a health item for every 50 jumps made V

- Displays health V

- Created lose condition when player health drops to zero V

- Created a scoreboard room that displays the score V

Day 2:

- Create a buffer (alarm) for transition to next screen X (Kept breaking the game)

- Freeze Player, delete obstacles, and camera shake when HP Zero X (Turned my code into spaghetti)

- Create pixel art of Asona Idle, Jump, Fall, and Defeat X (Yeah, no that'll take too long. Just the Flying animation is enough)

- Create pixel art of Asona Flying V

- Create Title Screen V

- Create Win Screen V

- Add Background Art V

- Create Health Item Art V

- Create Ground Art V (It's literally a single pixel lol)

- Add Gameplay Music V

- Add Particle Effects When Hit X (No)

- Turn Off Image Smoothing V

- Fix text font V

Day 3:

- Create Obstacle Art V

- Add SFX V

- Fix configuration to allow the Game Maker to build the game V (Had to update Visual Studio Code)

- Realease the game on Itch.io V (Ayyy)

- Submit to One Button Jam V

Final Remarks:

This was a very eye-opening experience. There's so much that goes into creating games and I've been putting it off for literally a decade but I thoroughly enjoyed using depreciated code to fight against Game Maker 2 when making this game.

Jokes aside, I think I'll continue to make more. Either another Asona game or an RPG or something lol.
