Dock King Playtest · build 23223404 · published
Brand new level! The docks that you know are gone, the entire level has been re-vamped. All of the NPC's and shops are the same, but now it feels more like a proper Dock town. Credit to Jonah for the new design.
New tutorial with a shorter intro for deliveries to get to the merchant job stuff faster
Delivery minigame re-worked (no more carry meter)
Angry NPC's that punch you
Lots of new UI (Inventory, Delivery Results, etc)
Crates that burst when dropped (bread/fish/produce)
Start of "reputation" system for leveling up merchants
Main UI is now pixel perfect
Updated water shader
Puddle VFX
Dubloon added juice
Sometimes will get stuck after first cutscene in state where you have to fall to reset.
Quite a few screens don't have controller support.
And of course, many bugs fixed.
The current progression still basically ends after you have purchased the two stalls on the left side of the docks, there isn't much else to spend your money on yet. Next for me will be adding the ability to purchase gear upgrades and businesses and making items worth buying and re-selling (with discounts primarily) and then some extra stuff like a larger bag, rich clothes, etc for money dumps.
I'm looking for feedback this build about progression, game feel, and any feedback on the new level design.
Cheers,
Keith
