GAME RELEASED!

This will be the last post in this blog, because CTSW has finally been released! Thanks to everyone who encouraged me and helped motivate me to get this done.



You can download it here.

There is a new trailer for the game as well (warning: contains spoilers, sort of).

GAME COMPLETE

Conquer the Shadow World is now finished. I'm gonna hold on to it for a week or so, do some quality assurance and beta testing, then release it to the public.

If you know me in real life and want to beta test the game, let me know!

I haven't posted any updates in a while... but luckily, it's because I've been working hard :]

The main world of CTSW is now completely done. 25 screens... 11 bosses... and 26 music tracks... done. It sure was a lot of work. All that's left is to make the final boss.

If you know me IRL and want to be a beta tester, let me know!

NEW DEMO RELEASED!

I've put up a new demo, version 0.2. Get it here.

This demo has a bunch of new stuff, including a Novice Mode that gives you extra lives. If you have trouble completing the demo, just press "N" on the title screen and it'll give you seven extra lives.

The game is now about halfway complete. This may actually be the last demo I release before the game is completed!

New update

I'm gonna stop counting the hours now, as I've completed all 20 hours I said I'd do for my facebook "I'll work for everyone who likes this" status update.

I've completed roughly half of the game now (including 12 music tracks and counting). I'll be releasing a demo soon which will probably be the final demo before the full game is completed and released as freeware.

Hours 19 and 20

I created a new boss named Diamond Shan, who spins around and shoots bullets. I also made another "platforming challenge" screen below him.

Hours 17 and 18

I added a couple more non-boss screens. I created five new music tracks to go with each screen. Check em out:

Heart Shan
Room 2
Room 3
Room 4
Room 5

Of these, I think Room 3 or Room 5 might be my favorite :]
