Hi there ,
Thanks for the continued feedback! I’ve been struggling with this next update a bit, but therefore it makes it all the more satisfying to share this update.
I’ve decided on a name; Falling apart, but it will probably be temporary until the game is more fleshed out and I properly dedicate some time to think what I would like to call it.
V0.1.6 introduces the following changes:
- Changed resolution - Based on the feedback of my wife’s playtest, and @yesko, the 1920x1080 resolution was annoying on Itch.io on 1920x1080 monitors. I tried a few different solutions (Like adding the fullscreen button), but that also didn’t feel like an optimal solution. So while the full screen button remains on Itch, I have also lowered the resolution to 1280x720, which should still work fine for this type of game. I am assuming (And perhaps jinxing) this will bite me in the butt later, with bigger levels and when I have to play with zoom levels, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
- Introduced a menu - The first feedback I received, also by @yesko, and one that was on my to-do list for sure. But this update adds a menu with options for the sound volume, and a very basic title screen.
In addition I’ve done quite some cleanup of positioning of scenes, which I understand much better now and was giving me some issues with the menu before.
Now that the “basics” are done, I will start working on world 2, which I want to introduce a new mechanic to the player.
I’m curious about your thoughts and honest feedback. Feel free to provide it here or on Itch.
