Week 63: virtual buttons and sounds (Patreon)

I’ll keep the summary short this week as I just published a lengthy retrospective post about my latest YouTube video. One thing I did this week was create virtual buttons to allow playing the game from mobile devices. This was in the TO-DO list for the next demo release that I plan to do in the next month or so. You can see the result on the video attached to this post (but I’ll end up keeping the A and B buttons only.) I think the new asset works well. It is now possible to play the game on mobile, although the virtual joystick doesn’t feel great. It needs more work.

I have also started adding some sounds to the game. Next week, I’ll continue working on sounds. Next on the list are: design new characters, work on a dialogue system, introduce more game mechanics.
