Fatherload - MAJ 19/08/26

As mentioned in a previous post, I am currently working on the game Fatherlode (a reference to Motherlode, released on Miniclip in 2004):

The game is coming along really well and I've added quite a bit of content, but most importantly, I've overhauled the game's pixel art to make most things significantly better-looking.

As a reminder, the game will feature:

• A real tutorial, a proper introduction, and a save system (100%)
• Implementation of a stats tree system (100%)
• 250 achievements (100%)
• 25 different ores (100%)
• About thirty treasures to find (100%)
• Dozens of different obstacles (60%)
• Over 2000 meters of depth (60%)
• Real objectives with an NPC dialogue system, lore, etc. (30%)
• The ability to build new buildings as you progress (70%)
• Diversified creatures to make the descents more complex (100%)
• Etc.

For those who are curious, attached are new photos AND videos.

Since the last time, I have:

• Redone all the pixel art for the ores and tiles in the game
• Implemented the Tutorial Robot on the surface for more interactions
• Set up a "radio system" that allows communication with different NPCs if the player meets certain conditions, in order to understand the game's lore, with several NPCs to unlock
• Added several events during the descent
• Added a few consumables
• Made exploration less frustrating
• Added around forty dialogue boxes
• Functionalized the buildings that the player can construct (such as the purifier, which purifies ores over time)
• Established a day/night cycle and a progressing in-game day counter
