Devlog #1 – Post-Slavic Game Jam 2024 Plans

Hello, everyone! 👋 About 1.5 month ago, I created a game during the Slavic Game Jam 2024, and I’m excited to continue working on it. Although the jam version was a great experience, there’s plenty of room for improvement! Here’s a quick look at what’s coming:

🔧 Planned Fixes & Improvements

• Better, faster, and more responsive movement: Tightening up the player to feel more satisfying.
• Level redesign & jumping overhaul: Reworking jumps and level layouts to feel less frustrating
• Balancing potion pickups: Experimenting with enemies dropping health, mana, or both — or something different.
• Difficulty tweaks: Adjusting enemy strength and placement for a less challenging but still enjoyable experience?

🌱 What’s Next?

Expect more devlogs covering:

• Game Jam Version Postmortem: A reflection on what went right, what went wrong, and lessons learned.
• Features/ Design Experiments/ Ideas: Prototypes for new mechanics, like a second weapon (railgun?) or arena maps with more vertical movement.

• Visual Experiments/ Ideas: Considering a shift to retro-inspired full 3D graphics to enhance the aesthetic.

Thank you for following along! Stay tuned for more updates soon, and I’d love to hear your thoughts if you have any ideas for improvements. 🚀
