Fcdesert devlog 29

Fcdesert devlog 28

new music:

Fcdesert devlog 27

i decided to slightly change the pages:

i also fixed the background for the main menu

before:

After:

i also made gates for the fourth boss, which will transition to the next and final act:

i also made a itch.io page for the game, the link is https://fcddesgames.itch.io/secrets-of-heraby

...and that is all for this devlog!

Fcdesert devlog 26

i decided to remake the lore stuff. now instead of some random tile thing, its a page out of a journal

i have finished most of the fourth boss. all i need to do now is to add a little bit more stuff and i'll be finished.

anyways thats all for this devlog!

Fcdesert devlog 25

So i figured out how to record other instruments. so i decided to redo all of the music

Here is the Main Menu music:

i think i might eventually redo this, but for now this works.

today i found out that tumblr has a file size limit.

Fcdesert devlog 24

After 3 seconds of thought, we have an offical name for fcdesert.

The game is officially 'Secrets of Heraby'.

i will still refer to it as fcdesert because i have gotten used to saying fcdesert.

also i finished the keybinding menu and am working on the fourth boss of the game. it is going to be wild.

Fcdesert devlog 23

im working on a keybinds menu:

i have been very busy lately, so development will be paused.

Fcdesert devlog 22

i edited the lich sprite for the second phase:

Fcdesert devlog 21

i make a skeleton summoning animation for the lich boss.

also the artist has made the lich sprite:

also we got new artist. this might boost the development of fcdesert

anyways that is all for this devlog

Fcdesert devlog 20

i decided that the current knight death animation was not good enough so i made a new one

i also figured out that the spian (i think i'll rename it to throwable pain) will do, it will be a throwable item that does 3x damage, but you lose the item until you pick it up again.

Fcdesert devlog 19

im planning on adding a new item:

im not sure what it should do right now.

Fcdesert devlog 18

didn't add anything today, just rewrote some code:

Fcdesert devlog 17

new item: orb of magic

it uses up the player's hp, but if used on bosses then it gives the cursed debuff. the cursed debuff makes enemies stalling at their turn more common.

Fcdesert devlog 14

two words: settings menu

here is a youtube video

fcdesert devlog 13

hello and welcome to another devlog for fcdesert.

i added more lore because we know the best way to tell a story within a video game

also i made 2 new items

dodging charm:

when you equip this item, you can sometimes dodge enemy's attacks, with the disadvantage where you take 1.5x damage.

black bow:

this is the most powerful bow in the game, it shoots 4 of your arrows in all directions and it deals double the damage of your sword.

the sequel for this game is already being discussed (finish first game? HAHA TALK ABOUT NEXT GAME GO BRRRRRRRRRRR)

and that is all for this devlog of fcdesert

fcdesert devlog 12

i added items because combat was boring.

string:

bow:

and some arrows

i'm planning on adding a magical band that heals you.

fcdesert devlog 11

animations

fcdesert devlog 10

i made movement smoother

fcdesert devlog 9

added some graphical stuff for combat (the computer that i recorded this on was slow, so you might not see it, but the thing that took damage will disappear for 0.05 seconds)

new enemys are currently in progress. act II will be very difficult.

fcdesert devlog 8

i made a map for act 2

green means that you have already explored the room

fcdesert devlog 7

today me and the other people working on fcdesert decided to create a team. today fcdteam has been created.

anyways a few new sprites have been created:

dark skeleton sprite

ghost sprite

act I is now finished.

fcdesert devlog 6

a new enemy sprite has been made (it's just the skeleton sprite but recolored)

act I is almost finished, and i already started the things for act II

fcdesert devlog 5

So there will be 3 acts:

act 1: The Desert this act will start on the bottom of the magical pyramid and ends on the top. each room will be randomized no matter what

act 2: The Castle This act will start at the entrance of the castle and end on the highest tower. this act will have traditional rougelike generation (I just finished making that system and i am almost dead, do you have any idea how many bugs i had to fix)

act 3: ??? generation is the same as last act

fcdesert devlog 4

added a boss:

the artist is amazing.

fcdesert devlog 3

hello and welcome to the third devlog of fcdesert. today my artist has made another sprite (keep up the good work, Connor)

this is the skeleton sprite, i modified it a little (changed the weapon it is holding)

here is the original:

we also are making a website

thats all for this devlog

fcdesert devlog 2

welcome to the second devlog of fcdesert. i added some stuff

you can press c to view your stats

also added lore tiles

my artist is currently working on sprites at the speed of an snail. but then again he has school so he might not have as much time.

fcdesert devlog 1

once upon a time a friend and I wanted to make a rouglike game together. We did not have an official name for it so we gave it a code name. the fc in fcdesert is for "fredrik connor". connor is the artist and i am doing everything else. so far i have made some of the game and some of the website.

menu background:

connor made this, he also said that it was painful drawing every pixel (this is 500x500, so that means that he did now know that he could just resize the pixels at that time).

player:

this is when the player has the most powerful weapon equiped, i edited this sprite to give it different weapons:

as you can see there is a clear difference between his art and my art.

gameplay:

im thinking that it should take place in an magical pyramid where the rooms change, it will make it so that every time you enter a room it is always different.

also as you can see there is a white square following the player, i am currently making the enemy AI (i am making a different AI for each type of monster) and forgot to take it out before recording.

here are all of the player sprites so far:

that is it for this devlog, i'll keep you guys updated for any progress.

Beyond the Rize 2 devlog 18

made a new soundtrack:

that that is all. i have been talking with one of my friends and he wanted to make a game. so i will have less time to work on this
