Luanti Game Jam: Day 15

Day 15

I improved levels 7 and 11. The pit in level 7 is smaller because it was a slog to climb, and level 11 is arranged differently.

I've got an anti-gravity "toggle" working. Adding a node for it would probably be easy now.

I've add a "health overlay". Now, when you take damage, a red health

Other bug fixes/cleanup:

• I've replaced the purple concrete with pink concrete. The textures are the same colour scheme, but whereas the purple texture had pink on the outside and purple on the inside, the new texture has purple on the outside and pink on the inside. I think it looks better now.
• I removed the "set_arrows" command. I don't need it nearly as much as I thought I did, and I can always use "add_arrows".

As the deadline starts approaching, it's starting to get a little overwhelming, but I think I can push through.

Checklist from yesterday

[ ] Make more levels!! Level ideas:

• [ ] Mineable reflector introduction level
• [ ] Deja-vu: The same section gets repeated multiple times (maybe in anti-gravity)

• [ ] Work on endgame (boss fight)
• Timed
• Credits screen

[ ] Anti-gravity preparation

• [ ] Node that toggles anti-gravity
• [x] Changing arrow gravity on the fly

• [ ] Add a GUI for going back to previous levels
• [x] Add a red vignette when health is lower than a certain amount (e.g. 15/20 HP)
• [ ] Add dialogue when needed

[x] Code cleanup

• [x] "last_arrows" remnants from reflectors
