Current Known Issues
Issues being worked on - V1.5
Right now there are a few issues that weren't addressed before the Mega Halloween Update release.
MAJOR
- *A rare issue where sometimes the key to finish a section does not spawn (see detailed breakdown below)
MINOR
- Updating the door sprite Art
- Updating the Oxygen Tank UI art
- When oxygen tanks become available for crafting, the CRAFT button is in the wrong position on screen
- Correcting the version number on the title screen.
*Detailed Breakdown of Major Bug
The way the levels are built, it randomly positions walls across a grid and then generates the storage boxes and checks that they aren't colliding with each other OR a wall. A big oversight was to generate the walls first, and have the code try to fit the boxes around the walls sometimes this would result in a "failed attempt to place a box" resulting in a possibility that the Key might not be in one of the storage boxes. it was rare that this could happen. a fix was to simply re prioritize what was created first. naturally this now means that the storage boxes are placed first, and the walls are generated and distributed after.
There are other fail safes with making sure the boxes spawn correctly that should hopefully eliminate this issue. It will require further testing, but i'm fairly confidant its now resolved.
ROAD MAP
Going forward I want to re-work the games intro cut scene - Originally it was a rough and ready approach that looked cool but the game has evolved more from what it originally was and I think the cut-scene art needs a dramatic overhaul to reflect that growth.
AUDIO - The sound effects could be better.. some of them are just not nice to listen to, specifically with headphones on. Some exploration into better sound design and pulling in some people to assist with that I think will be a good next step.
The future
I would like to explore the game more, and expand it with a new chapter, possibly within the same game, or perhaps a polished up sequel would be interesting. more story, different locations etc. as its a small sci-fi title the sky's the limit when it comes to where it can go. Dark Moon is a solid base to build from.
