Blinky the Cleaner Bot 0.5.2


Newness: 

  • Voicelines added for most of the machines and the charging station. All done by myself or the wife.
  • All items have had their flavor text redone.
  • The code to advance to more days have been added, making it so that you can now reach day 10.
  • Most upgrades can now be obtained in the game. Talk to the other electronics and see if you can't nab yourself a few!
  • All dialogue is now in place, but not yet spell checked!
  • New upgrade screen has been added to the charge station.
  • Added the "My First Game Jam" logo to the beginning of the game.
  • Added the ending and credits to the game, including one additional art piece for Blinky.
  • Becca will now move around the house. Keep away from her or you will loose charge hiding from her.
  • Most of the gameplay loop seems to be working, I would call this a finished game from a gameplay standpoint. Now for testing and fixing!
  • One new, mostly empty room added that has it's use in the story of the game.
  • Made a counter that will show you how many turns you used to complete the game at the end! Beat that score!


0.5.1:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented progress from day 2 onwards.


0.5.2:

  • Looking at Becca popped an error. Should now be fixed.
  • Back to starting at day 1 as you should. Sorry.


Further plans:

  • Possibly make some better art for Blinky, although I have kind of grown to love my own crap-tastic drawing. I think Blinky will remain my original crap-tastic drawing!
  • Add art for Becca whenever the two of you end up in the same room.
  • Bug and spelling corrections.
  • Balancing the gameplay. I know the routes and upgrades, and therefore can simply finish each day, but players may find it more frustrating. Feedback is very welcome!
  • Make art for your machine friends.


What have I been up to since yesterday? A lot of writing and coding. Recording and editing the voice lines with the wife and making sure the upgrades work as wanted. New artwork has been made for Blinky, and the ending for the game has been added.

Are there plans to make Becca fatter as the days progress?

There is, art is made, but will not be added until after the jam is over to keep within guidelines :-) You will probably have noticed a big jump in file size between 0.5 and 0.7, images are in there, just waiting to be set free.

You will get to see her whenever Blinky crosses her path, and while she's sleeping in bed.

I think there is a new bug now, I can't seem to look the human, which I'd argue is quite crucial!
Error is:

Error running script: Error compiling expression 'Blinky.day = 1': CompareElement: Operation 'Equal' is not defined for types 'Object' and 'Int32'

(+1)

Fixed as of 0.5.2. Images for Becca is yet to be added/made. The game jam does not allow AI art, and unless you want some beautifully drawn stick people, you may just have to wait a little before the images for her are added :-)

That's fine! But at the very least the descriptions or not having a bug hahah

Should be ok now, bug testers haven't found anything new (yet)!

There seems to be a bug with day 2, when you clean the whole mess the charging door won't open so I just run out of charge.

Will look into it at once 

Found the issue, day end code had reset to only work on day one. Will get it fixed in about ten minutes

Now fixed and new file up. Tested on day 2 myself and seems to work as it should :-)
