The Boy VS Junkfood » Devlog
Hi everyone, me and my team are very happy to announce the post-jam/full version of "The Boy VS Junkfood"!
So many things have been added & improved since the GMTK 2021 game-jam ended. Take a look below for the list of changes:
Version 1.0
- Now uses Unity's new input system. But gamepad controls are not yet 100% available.
- Precision aiming and line of sight. The projectile should pass through the center of the crosshair.
- Player starting point have been adjusted more towards the right side of kitchen counter.
- Boy moves faster when not equipping a weapon.
- Feet moves while adjusting aim beyond max body pivot.
- Player projectile (toothpick) now pierces through enemies.
- Player projectile bounces off solid walls.
- Boy only strafes when holding a weapon.
- Player can dodge to nudge off enemies. Also it will slightly nudge the companion and boss.
- Momma Tomato is now bigger to really give that payload feel.
- Momma Tomato can also dash/charge when she had enough hits. She also uses this to break checkpoint walls (wafers).
- Also, Momma Tomato will drop health orbs when hit.
- Toothpick cups are placed in different areas to supply the player toothpick ammo. When out of its supply, it will have a slight reload time.
- Toothpick ammo now drops 10 pieces instead of 5.
- Picking up ammo will depend on the players ammo space. Example, if you have 8, you'll only get 2 pieces from the pile.
- A.I. minions will now behave more erratically. Being slightly unpredictable.
- A.I. minions will also spawn from a specific point (with a bit of randomness), rather than random on the floor near the player.
- Ranged A.I. now spawns a physical (Green Pea) projectile rather than a magic bullet.
- Enemy spawns incrementally and in waves, but in the boss area it will be continuous until boss is defeated.
- Boss phase will now spawn walls to close the player in and limit the combat area.
- Boss is also tougher and uses magic to create a barrier while channeling summon.
- Environment now has some appliance wires and sockets near the wall. Also a cabinet model by the upper-corner wall.
