This looks so awesome! Is it that fluid on device?

Pretty fluid so far. I've been working on improving the fps over the last few days and now working through preloading the enemies.

Little bit of the pickup mechanics in action. Looks like he's carrying his pet Crank!

  • Complete: Player picks up objects with Up
  • Complete: If the player has the crank, how does he pull it out? You open your actual crank.
  • Complete: Closing the crank makes the player put back the crank.
  • Crank will be used to insert into the crankable object that's missing the crank.
  • You need to actually crank to open the gate/obstacle/bridge once you assemble/fix the crank object.

Just a game concept (no coding yet) of a pirate game that's been in my head. Decided to draw it out a bit to get some of the ideas and concepts out, but this game won't be worked on until next year (2024).

To add a bit more challenge and to keep things a little more interesting in What the Crow?!, I've now added the concept of gathering feathers to be able to flap and fly higher up. You can't reach the second floor if you don't collect enough feathers. This is taking inspiration from A Short Hike.

Leveraging the pause image to show some light instructions.
Also, tinkering with an ePaper display and loaded up a fun image of the crow riding a cat. A game mechanics idea that hasn't made it in yet.
