Dungeon Drops Dev Diary
Sunday, 4th May 2025
- So much for quickly "implementing a new door system", but now it is FINALLY done and players are in for a treat. After you reached your goal to unlock the next level you can decide to keep playing and even skip the exit door to get one with a better bonus.
What a risk.
What a reward.
What a weekend,

- Implementing a new system on how to finish a level without having to die after reaching the different levels' goal.
There will be a door that spawns on a block, which you can use, but if you decide to ignore it, eventually other doors will spawn, that might double your Lira or Nazar.
- Door drawing and animating done.
This is shaping up nicely,

- I think I have had a nice idea for stages through which people can earn the Items to activate the fruits on the background tree and started implementing it.
- Did some Sprite work on those pesky numberplates for level selection.
Quite a busy weekend,

- Revised the block drop algorithm, so it should be way less likely now that a block drops 2 consequtive times in the same "column"
- Fixed my ingame font so the numbers look way more crips now
- I also applied these changes to the Demo and updated the build, it should be more enjoyable to play now
- The lava stages and ideas are coming along nicely. I put stage 8 into the game today.
Quite a busy weekend,

- The Demo is now available for download on the Steam page, hooray!!! (Had a lot to do in my "real" job this week and besides that some things to adjust in the steamworks, but I hope people will enjoy the demo and get a nice taste for the full game)
Please feel free to try my game's demo,

- Prepared the Steam Upload for my Demo and sent it in for review. I hope it will get greenlit and be playable for everyone on the 28th of April.
Since I am quite new to all these Steam things it took me several hours to do fill out all the necessary pages and configurations, but I hope everything is in order.
Burning that 4:00 AM oil,

- Put together a "How to play" screen that shows before loading levels, where you can see what you need to press.

Had a nice Easty visit to my parents' place,

- Finished the intro cinematic.
- Added unique icon for Desktop and Taskbar.

What a day,
Marcipu

- Started working on the intro scene.
Looks like our prince is in trouble!
Animation should follow tomorrow,

- Introducing: The fiery fella. He is jumping back and forth between his lil lava pools.
- Noticed, that I accidentally spawned many instances of backgrounds on top of each other this whole time, but got to fix it, improving performance.
The Lava stages are coming along nicely,

- Background traps are now working, with the first inclusion being the rotating flame.
- Jumping and attacking sound effects now in the game.
Got a lot done today,

Mondays...,

- Added the tea healing item. After rethinking only being able to slowly regenerate tea health with the double tea pot, now sometimes a small tea glass drops to regenerate a small chunk of health.
- Finally added a pause menu.
- Drafted ideas for traps that actually are positioned on the moving background
Sunday greetings,

- Added a new item, the tulip. Makes it so items drop more often, very nice.
- Generally improved item drop timing mechanics.
Thanks for checking in,

My website went live today (my very first one, hooray).
I wrote my first entry yesterday actually, as you can see further down.
As I try to keep it brisk, I will now jump back to working on the game and thank you for your support.
Have a good one,
Marcipu

This is my first entry and I thank you very much for having a peek at my site.
Today my Steam Page went live and I am very excited that people can now see the first game I plan to publish.
Over the next months I hope to keep you updated on the development progress of the game, so have a look from time to time.
Greetings,
Marcipu
