Something About Puro Dunjon (Playdate version)

Got the save files working and a correct positioning for the player

Tested on the actual machine, fps is acceptable. Not locked 50, but well above 30/40

Also, got a basic interaction menu, I'll see if I can generalise it

Currently reforging my prop system to be less generic, thus having to redo the map switching component

Also, I defined the core gameplay along the lines of "what was your sentence, and what can will you do about it"

Switching map took some time: Setting a proper format editable in ogmo and usable in game

The whole thing is a bit sudden, so maybe a quick transition could be interesting

But at least, it seems to load & parse quickly, which is nice

*.drawSampled() is nice but hard when you want to draw 2d using 3d position

I may still use it somehow, but I'd rather have a good workflow with simpler, connected tilemaps and small dynamic elements/fx

Ogmo is still fun to parse

Playing with *.drawSampled(...), because it looks better, but still wary of the impact on fps

Ogmo for ground tilemap & some tricks for props

Also it'll be both a remake and a prequel

I hope I can add gameplay/lore in a compact shell

Sometimes, checking distances feel better than checking intersections

I hope I'll be able to do nice things with shadows

I'll try the mantra again, "make it before make it good"

Working on the sequences flow first is kinda good for me

I think I'll reuse most of the assets from the original one

It's a remake, not a remaster tho

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #screenshotSaturday #puroDunjon

I mean, I could make a port of #puroDunjon for the #playdate and even find a good use for the crank

I'd rather make either a sequel or something totally different

The 1bit display kinda make some things hard for some games I would make

Maybe some rpg? 🤔

One thing keeping me from simply porting #PuroDunjon to the #picoSystem is that I wouldn't give justice to the incredible titlescreen theme made by ‪‪@xdeviruchi.bsky.social‬

One day, a remake maybe

So, there's at least one person playing "Puro Dunjon セドゥーラの約束" nearly daily on @itch.io and to this nice gamer, I'll say thank you 😘
