Halcyon Ice Area Demo
Added 2020-07-20 03:18:06 +0000 UTCHey all!
Just wanted to keep everyone posted on my progress!
Anguna Zero is mostly done, although the folks at the 6502 collective (who I'm publishing it with) have convinced me to hire out some graphics work to spiff up the graphics a little bit, so I'm just waiting on it at this point.
So back to Halcyon! I don't have anything new from Frankengraphics at this point, but I've mapped out the whole next area (an icy area) of the game, and filled it with enemies (using some placeholder graphics for now), and some new powerups, like the personal jetpack that lets you be a lot more mobile. There's still a lot of testing and tweaking to be done in it, but I wanted to send you all a demo to let you try it out.
This demo starts you in the ice area. You would have just recently picked up explosive shells from a boss in the water cave area (which let you destroy blocks with the tank ARES's gun, so you don't have to get out and use grenades). You've also got a large array of secondary weapons. Your first goal is to find the grippy tires that let you handle on the ice, then work your way through the rest of the ice maze to find the jetpack.
Things will most surely be quite broken in places, but feel free to let me know if you find anything odd!
