I have the HUD display the current level like how it is displayed in Super Mario Bros as it does a better job explaining which environment you are in and how far are you from the next boss.

I've also decreased the intervals for when bombs explode. I did a full playthrough of the game and I realized that the later enemies that are only killed by bombs are extremely hard to kill due to the long interval, so I cut the interval by half.

I've bit crushed the death whirl sound effect, but I can't make it sound like an SNES sound effect. It honestly sounds more like the compressed voice sound effects you would hear in 80s arcade games.

Decided to change the death whirl sound effect to make it sound less 8-bit. I don't know how it turned out. Should I play with the instruments more? Is it fine just 8-bit? Or should I keep it like it is in this video?

Changed the lava tiles to make it look like it's bubbling, but it ended up looking weird. Judging from other games, lava tiles tend to have 4 frames of animation instead of three, but if I add an extra frame then I need to add an extra frame to the water tilesets.

Player can now pick up items with his sword.

Did the same with the other tilesets. Though I don't think lava flows like water. Maybe I should have it bubble up instead.

Water tiles are now animated.

This is literally the most stux thing I've ever seen him do.

No it's just because they are a bunch of grifters and found out (at least for them) that "Nazis" (some of which hate porn and wouldn't use it if it had it) are more profitable than pornographers.

Fixed the boss bug. Although I didn't record the bug, the bug was that some bosses would just hang upon death. Turns out they aren't calling the animation method.

I also love how these guys just straight up pretend that it's still 1997 and that 3D PC gaming is either a luxury or non-existent. These guys brag about how "advanced" their engines are, even though they are just isometric engines and dead bodies not disappearing isn't something to write home about.

Added a fanfare for collecting the mirror. I also just realized that two of the bosses are broken and I need to investigate the problem.

Certain items will now disappear if you don't collect them in time.

I can't believe that the LPNH keeps getting away with this.

Finally added a victory fanfare after completing a floor. I just used the fanfare I used in my previous games (which was a CC0, 8-bit fanfare from OpenGameArt), put it in NeuralNote and changed the instruments.

And here is the result, recomposed as a full orchestra. This is based off of a victory screech my siblings and I would make when we accomplished something or received something good.

So it looks like half of you would rather spend your entire lives as someone else's property than to spend 13 years in school.

It looks like we are off to a good start!
