Day 18


Fill this in later

Release candidate 2 with dylans feedback is here

Level 7 is new! So all levels after are pushed back 1

Will return with updates when its actually done.

Read yesterdays devlog instead.

Edit:

I had a lot of feedback from Dylan and my old man, which helped me make the game a lot more user friendly.

I found that, as expected, asterisk is really hard to explain. So I added a whole new level to try to better explain it, changed the toggle box, and added actual explanations of what each instruction does. I knew the game was difficult but watching other people struggle is really humbling. But aside from the initial difficulty of understanding the idea, they both seemed to enjoy it and went for completion.

To reward competition, I added 2 new features. If you collect half of the total stars you unlock double speed to make redoing levels less tedious. And a second secret feature for collecting all the stars on the main menu.


I also added animations, and made the level name show when loading or resetting. The game feels alot more alive now.


The biggest change, and something I have wanted to make but have been putting off for ages is not having to open the note after resetting. Previously, you would have to open and close the note to be able to pass instructions on to the robot, which made resetting a little more tedious. Now, you can edit your instructions, reset the level, then give instructions. Which is alot more freeing and smooth. I wanted this feature for ages but I was being lazy.


Some levels were too difficult of confusing, so I changed them up slightly. Namely Need a lift, which my old man said was "a botch job".

Just a few more minor changes and this is going to be ready for release.


I have worked incredibly hard I deserve so much money.
