Stargazer Update v0.2


Update v0.2

First update post GMTK jam. Honestly, already feeling myself wanting to just abandon the project, but I think I should at least get it to a place where it can be called complete and playable. 

v0.2 mostly addresses the issues brought up during the jam (unclear instructions, fiddly UI, lack of goal). Its backend was also pretty much completely rebuilt to make future updates cleaner and actually doable. 

So far, 0.2 includes:

  • new commands: "help" and "ping"
    • help: returns a list of possible commands and their uses
    • ping: ???
  • coloured text: user commands are now in blue, guidance is in grey
  • input updates:
    • cmdline isn't case sensitive anymore
    • returns error messages
    • keeps cmdline focused after entering
    • "note" takes as many inputs as you want
  • new sfx: rolling dice & entering valid commands now play sfx
  • more star names: higher chance if it being an actual name rather than a generated code


Next:

Moving forward, I want to work on more lore and story for the next update. The game already has a little mystery around it, and with the addition of the command "ping", there'll be a chance to get more of a story and direction.
