Devlog 7 - Video, Stats & Accomplishments:



In this video I quickly play through a level to get to the end and show you the success screen flow (that I'm calling the "accomplishment parade"). It's the display of all your stats and new accomplishments as you exit the room. All the art is still temporary, functionality and timing are complete, sounds are ~60% complete.


Accomplishment Parade in Pictures:



Still all placeholder, temporary 2D art. Here's a quick run of screenshots showing the flow of stats and achievements while exiting a room.

Time, Gold, Score

Time and score are always displayed, gold is only displayed if you collect any.

How Scoring Works:

  • Your score is based on a combination of a time bonus, an enemy bonus, and a health bonus.
  • You get points for how much quicker your time is than 1 minute (time limit).
  • You get points for killing enemies.
  • You get points for how much health you have when you exit the room.

I feel this is a fair evaluation of a player's mastery of a room and encourages experimentation to achieve the highest score possible.

Fastest Time, High Score

If either your time or score beats your recorded value for that room, there is an extra moment to acknowledge a new accomplishment.

Challenges

Any time you complete a challenge for the first time in a room, it is also acknowledged on the exit flow before arriving back at the room summary. In the next update I'll explain how you use your collected challenge tokens to unlock new areas of the mine.


Thanks!



Thanks for dropping by and seeing how things are going. I finished a major chunk of work last night to create the branching paths to the room progression. The world is now divided into 4 areas, each with their own progression path. I'll post a new update soon to outline how that work was done and all the systems it impacted. Work on the next worlds ( areas of the mine) is beginning now! Ice world, Metal world, and Magic world.
