I recently bought the Game Maker Studio 2 engine, this event “animated” me to continue my project. As such, I am announcing in this devlog my return to development on my prototype “The Legend of Janitor”.

Much more than just announcing my return, I also bring this post with the purpose of showing news and differences for the future update (DEMO 2).

(It is worth noting that this is an engine change, not in all, so some aspects and features are being reworked and rewritten).

The first change I realized needed to be made was the game's image resolution change (old 224x304, new 256x304).

Something that I hadn't planned yet due to lack of technical knowledge was the slopes and mobile platforms. Perhaps a crucial element in a platform game.

With my acquisition of Smear Fx software, I am turning some formerly less smooth animations into smooth animations.

Without Smear Fx:

With Smear Fx:

For those who played DEMO 1, this is the new stage and its possible boss.

And last but not least (irony). Now enemy Skull makes funny faces 😜

If you've enjoyed the game and want to see this little prototype turn into a great complete game, support me so I can continue on to The Legend of Janitor! Grateful for your attention.

SEE YOU ON THE NEXT DEVLOG!!!!
