Some informations about the next update of Macroboy Y.
What is already done:
- Custom abilities of characters (double jump, wall grip, etc.) are now available for custom characters.
- Strenght shots in water provoke water stream.
- "Waterfly" tile (water going up...)
What I am currently working on:
- Blood layers, so blood spills does not transform tiles directly, but add graphics over them. (And so, allow any kind of tiles to have with blood on it..)
- Learning how to integrate the steam workshop, the steam overlay and screenshots. Also add the steam cloud savegame system and achievements.
The idea box, technical stuff:
- Detect joysticks when on the menu, and not only at startup
- Load and unload maps (Instead of loading all at the beginning) to allow to make them wider and allow more variety.
- Completly remove the old map system so the limitation of having maximum 128 different tiles disappeir.
- Fix bug: monsters are not all cleared when dying.
- Fix bug: powerups appeirs sometimes in walls and/or at top of maps (certainly an overflow from the bottom)
