Full Game Preview Available Now!

Hello everyone!

Today marks the end of ongoing development for this project at the moment, and I am launching the the full game preview! This project has been a part of my Games & Narrative 2 class at UTD, and I have loved every moment of putting this game together. It has allowed me to dive into more of the character design for Safi-Ceruu, and has consistently tested my skills with coding, design, art, and even sound recording/mixing with my idea to add voice acting for the character!

Longterm plans for this game; I would love to come back to this game once I am a more experienced programmer and understand the GameMaker2 Engine better! I initially planned to add controller support but I learned that with how I built the movement system, I would need to almost entirely need to rebuild it in order to add it in. There a few other small things, such as text readability and voice line repetition, but once I understand the engine more those should resolve themselves!

Very special thank you to Dr. Monica Evans, my professor leading my class for all of her guidance throughout the semester, my roommate Keaton Ylanan, for his assistance with GameMaker as I started dipping my toes in for the first time, and Ankita Saha, for being the voice of and bringing the character of Safi to life. This has been my first solo game project, and I can't wait to see how far I can go in the future.

Final Patch Updates

- The dash sprite animation has been fixed (dashing sprite will always play and the player can no longer change their direction mid dash)

- Some minor sprite updates for some objects/interactables

- Once the player has completed all dungeons twice (collected all scrolls and has collected 4 stars), a new interactable will appear in the Hub area that will take the player to a final level with new treasures and scrolls that give more story to the world and background the to Draconites. 

- Upon completion of the final level, the player can then go to the interactable and look at Safi's observations, notes from the artifacts, and some completion screens

Thank you to those of you who have been following the development of this game, I hope you all will look forward to my future projects!
