Editor can now delete objects.

#gamedev #SFML

Editor now supports all current object. You may notice a bug in this recording after saving with the fourth enemy being in a lower y coordinate after reloading the file. That's due to the fact that this particular enemy is larger than the game's tile size. I'm working on this issue right now.

#gamedev #SFML

Editor now saves objects (still only hearts).

#gamedev #SFML

Game objects (only hearts) can now be placed in the editor. The editor now supports saving, but only the tiles.

#gamedev #SFML

Level editor can now load levels, though it can only load the tiles and you still can't save.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a UI bar at the bottom which displays the current tile. I also added a yellow outlined rectangle which represents the area that is actually seen in game. Since the player can walk to one side and appear at the other, I have to include tiles that appear offscreen, so naturally the editor window is larger than the actual game window. This outline shows what will actually be visible.

#gamedev #SFML

It's been a while, but I finally decided to take the gamble and use my dying laptop to add the ability to change which tile to place in the editor.

#gamedev #SFML

You can now place brick tiles in the level editor, but that's basically it for now.

#gamedev #SFML

Level editor is now running, but it's nothing, but an all brick background. Bare with me!

#gamedev #SFML

Just got started with the level editor, but it's not functional yet and my meds are wearing out, so I have to work on it later.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a death "animation" for the player.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a menu, imported from my last game. Not sure if I will have high scores for my game though.

#gamedev #SFML

Replaced the solid color tiles with an actual tileset. It's still a placeholder though as it is from another game (Mario Bros.).

#gamedev #SFML

Door now makes a closing sound as well.

#gamedev #SFML

Added an "open door" animation when you reach the exit. Now, you have to press the down key to proceed.

#gamedev #SFML

Enemies now randomly drop hearts on defeat.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a lives counter to the HUD (was there before but it was just text and I removed it when adding the health bar). Right now, the icon is a coin because I'm borrowing HUD assets from a previous game project which didn't have an icon to represent lives.

#gamedev #SFML

Okay, I've been neglecting on a Windows port for my SFML game, Distant Ruins for quite awhile now. If anyone is willing to do it, that would be appreciated. You should be able to compile it with MinGW. The build.sh script can easily be converted into a batch file with a few modifications. Run it and you should be able to get a working Windows executable.

Let me know if you are able to do this.

#gamedev

Replaced the HP counter with a health bar.

#gamedev #SFML

The enemy now deflects bullets when facing the player and not attacking.
