DL05 - Version 0.9 Released!
Bel & Poppy » Devlog
After chipping away at this for the past 6 months, the next big update is finally ready.
The keen-eyed viewer may notice things looking a little different nowadays:
Patch Notes
In reality, there have been hundreds of small updates since the last release, but here are some highlights:
1 - Graphics
- Fully tiled floors, walls and backgrounds! So pretty!
- Some rooms are now rendered in silhouette. Ooh!
- Two bullet points doesn't quite do justice to the amount of work that was poured into this, so here's a third.
2 - Audio
- The melee attack now makes a 'whack' sound when you hit an enemy or switch, and feels much more satisfying.
- Added various menu sounds & feedback to improve UX.
- Not much has changed on sound, so this bullet is a reminder of how much work went into the updating the visuals.
3 - Gameplay
- Most of the platforming sections have had their difficulty smoothed out to make them more fluid and less tedious.
- There are now some mean looking bad guys lurking around. Will you *pew* them for intel, or is it safer to sneak by?
- Flowers now heal Bel one heart when touched. Also, if she has the secret flower, she will regenerate hearts slowly.
- You can now skip most of the dialog in the first bedroom scene by holding the attack button for 2 seconds.
- Fixed several collision bugs which caused clipping or unintended zipping.
- Added some tutorial prompts to help prevent players getting stuck in opening areas.
- Springs now break after bouncing on them 3 times.
- Super Secret Time Attack Mode: Press T to display the Official Game Timer and show your friends how fast you can skip the story!
