going full open source with this one, not currently ready for a release here but it'll be coming soon

I haven't released a game in a long time, so here's one I made in 5 days for a jam.

I'm considering a Newgrounds build sometime soon

Play it on Itch.io: https://gokritz.itch.io/aah-a-ghost

CHECK IT OUT I MADE A NEOCITIES SITE IT'S REALLY GOOD I REALLY LIKE IT YOU SHOULD LOOK AT IT THERE'S LOTS OF JAVASCRIPT AND STUFF AND I MADE A FORTUNE TELLER AND YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME SUGGESTIONS FOR WHAT TO PUT IN THE ARRAY OF FORTUNES AND PICTURE LINKS FOR THE FORTUNE TELLING APP TOO THANKS

I formatted my HDD.

No, you read that correctly, I formatted my HDD. It had the project I was working on for madness day, and the previous thing I teased on it as well. So those are basically gone to the winds of time now.

As well as this i also deleted:

• multiple years worth of phone camera footage and pictures that I backed up to my PC
• footage and project files for the youtube videos I used to make
• all my saved pictures
• all my games
• my portfolio (which exists online so that isn't a total loss)

and only god knows what else was on there that I forgot to mention.

Here are the previews for the projects I was working on

How, you may ask, does one accidentally format their entire hard drive?

Well, I've been trying to set up some kind of dual-boot system with Windows and Ubuntu, and I decided to take my main HDD out of my machine and put in an empty one which I would put Ubuntu on and just boot windows from my SSD alone. I plugged in the Ubuntu boot stick and wiped the HDD, without realising that when I took out my HDD, I must have gotten distracted at some point and put the exact fucking same disk back into my PC.

Don't be me.

I really should refrain from posting development logs of this project since I want to keep it all nice and secrety but I can't help myself.

WHAT'S THAT, IS IT A FUEL GAUGE AND A PARALLAX BACKGROUND I THINK IT BLOODY WELL IS

Feel like a lot of progress has been made today, and that run cycle's been fully animated and coloured now.

I wanna keep the plot of this game somewhat secret until it's released here on Newgrounds, so you won't see a whole lot of development updates, however for now I will show you this little bit of what I got.

I hate animating walk cycles. I suck at animation and there's a reason that all the animations in ghost house are like 2 or 3 frames each.

However I'd like to draw some characters that aren't just a simple blur of pixels for once, so I've got to draw walk cycles. It especially needs to look good if it's for the main character in the game, so I'm tearing out my fucking eyeballs trying to get these fucking legs to walk properly for hours and it STILL looks like shit.

Appreciate your animators, ya'll.

I swear to god, this is NOT a bullethell game!!!

Well, maybe a little.

Got 2 fantastic sound guys working with me by the names of Xarya and DieswYx! Xarya's on sounds + effects, with DiesWyx on music.

Holding shift will make your character move slower to help you avoid those "friendliness pellets".

Added enemy spawners.

Secret areas are now a thing.

Added a "level finished" screen, which displays the enemies you've killed, how many you've missed, and how many enemies Kamikaze'd into you.

Added dynamic health drops.

Made some UI changes, been working a lot with sound.

Will be getting in touch with Newgrounds musicians, scouring the umbral plains of the audio portal for that SOUND that I crave so bad.

Playtesting is in effect as well. a prototype build exists on itch.io, but I'm only giving it out to people I trust at the moment.

Newgrounds seems to have stopped animating my gifs? whatever. have an Imgur link.

most of the features I want to include are here already so I went and got a head start on some level design.

added a few new sprites, including one for our main character who I think looks rather dashing.

Also the gun goes "womph" now, so just imagine that sound every time you see a blue pellet coming out of him.

Tinkering with some levelling elements.
