Slimey's Quest 2

So it seems quite a few people have been requesting a sequel to my LD31 game, Slimey's Quest, so I'm starting yet another game journal marking my progress with it (I think I have 4 at the moment aha).

One of the things I didn't particularly enjoy about the creation of the first game was the way I had to create the different levels. I had to do everything by hand and one of the things this meant was that I couldn't easily add things. Therefore, the first thing I decided to do was to make a system that could transfer levels for me.

I have written a basic system that stores a level as a string and then changes the level based on this so far.

As you can see, it's far from perfect but has come quite far.

I'll probably make a post explaining the logic behind the transition I use currently after holiday events

Have you noticed those two platforms that transition into the "larger" scene seem to move at varying speeds each transition (the spring seems a little hit or miss too?) Thought I'd point that out.

Anyway... yeah, still fantastic. I would be interested to know how you implemented the logic here and whether you used Stencyl blocks, code or both. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

For everything I just use Stencyl blocks. The transition speeds is I believe due to being unable to do accurate calculations every frame, but I'm not sure entirely tbh.

The first was a blast! I'm looking forward to this sequel.

Fixed up most of the previous issues. I'll probably write a post on my logic sometime later this week.
