I'm also due for my next demo so I will be shipping that soon :)

I added a choose your gender screen before the game starts so that you can choose whether you want to be an office man or office woman :)) (i got this feedback so thanks to the person who requested this!)
I also completely rewired my dialogue ui animations so that they would be more efficient and adding new locations and corresponding animations for them would be a much more streamlined process!

Super proud of how the cherry blossoms turned out lol
fully implemented the dialogue scene for train conductor. added tileset art for new location: kyoto.+93-53▶yay i finally finished the dialogue animation scene of the train conductor!! took way longer than it needed to but i needed it cuz I created an entirely different spawning logic for this character! now I gotta create a new map for kyoto so that if you say yes to this train conductor it moves you to another map with a nice train riding animation :)
added train conductor dialogue scene anim! dialogue itself still not fully functional. spawner for train conductor fully functional.+1100-5▶fully implemented the delinquent character! if you say something culturally inappropriate to him, if you dodge his punch, he will spare you :)

Shiba moment! I fully implemented the nature girl. As you can see, the dialogue is specifically nature themed :)
I have a demo I need to ship now because I finally reached 80 hours lol (but I just posted a demo at 79 hours cuz I didn't do it at 70 hours cuz I thought the demo wasn't ready so hopefully that's fine.)

ok so MAIN UPDATES:
- actual pause option
- new character
- new subway activities (swiping card)

- put in a nature feature
shiba moment!!
UPDATES:
-new character
-updated backgrounds for subway for all characters
-subway swiping activity when you cross a card swiping system in the subway!
I will ship a demo because I am still due for one and I also patched a problem with the charms. :D
And once again thanks to everyone who pawed my game!
added a pause menu scene, and updated all animations to include subway backgrounds. also, customized godot loading screen.+4274-55▶shiba moment! created a paused options menu so yay that's there
ALSO HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who pawed/followed my game!! I truly appreciate it and I work super hard on this game so to have people excited to see more of my game really means the world to me :)
If you see this go ahead and check out my game and paw it if it vibes with you! :D
hI OK i just shipped my demo but I deleted it cuz I let in a bug LOL
ok we're back with the corrected version! i spent FOREVER just trying to get this subway scene down and now it's fully functional! whether it is visually appealing is another story though :'D
to-do:
-make it more visually appealing
-pause option mode for the game
-more enemies as always :D
-card swiper of the subway actually does something :0
finally made subway scene fully functional! pls send help.+1186-61▶shiba moment
This subway thing is taking so long to nail down it's actually painful LOL
im due for 2 demo ships but i'm trying to get this subway thing to be fully functional but yeah it's difficult
shiba momentttt
I've started the subway scene!
coding it is so hard i actually wanna like cry LOL
it's ok we will push through lolllll
OK DEMO TIME
I just posted a demo but like i deleted it cuz I just realized I left a bug running lol
anyhow updates were mostly mentioned in the previous shiba moment but general notes:
- everything is fully operational just on keyboard so that it would be compatible with the arcade machines
- i changed the background music because I got a lot of feedback saying it doens't fit (which I agree in hindsight)
- the RANDOM event is fully added and refined into the game so randomness week is done!!
ok have fun!!
updated to-do:
- subway scene
- pause menu (for adjusting volume and such)
made everything controlld by keyboard (button selection) and fixed some bugs. added a beginning tutorial.+3111-325▶hey shiba moment! i'm actually due for two demo releases so i'll release one in a bit BUT I added a tutorial at the beginning! I also spent hours debugging my charm event... im not ok
updates:
- buttons all controlled by arrow keys + enter/space now
- beginning tutorial
- cyclist animation in
- cyclist rock paper scissors buttons are unique ui it's very cool my next devlog will show that lol
- options menu with volume sliders
to do:
- just the new subway scene!!
cyclist has animation now. unique ui buttons for rock paper scissors. volume sliders added.+1262-133▶varied speeds of enemies, and now there's a working rock paper scissors interaction with the cyclist+489-127▶-RANDOM WEEK RANDOM ASPECT IMPLEMENTED!!-
shiba moment! each character has its own speed so it's much harder now!
also, I added the cyclist character and it has a working rock paper scissors function. This is the random part of my game now! as you can see you can only arbitrarily choose the correct rock paper scissors answer.
I haven't finished the animation yet so it has a temporary placeholder animation. but all the logic works!
From here:
- cyclist just needs her dialogue animation finished
- subway setting needs to be added (D: so much work but it's going to be so worth it) + 3 new characters for this new setting
- cutscene for tutorial instead of live tutorial cuz it looks messy live
- options menu (volume slider for sfx, background music)
and then from that I think my game will truly be finished! but it's going to take a ton of work lol
shiba moment!
update for randomness week(end) lol
I've been working on the character (like 2 hrs just on art 😭) that does the random rock paper scissors dialogue!! for the random aspect I add to my game
I also got rid of a lot of the live tutorial bc I changed my mind lol
I decided that a cutscene at the start for the tutorial would make things much cleaner and less distracting!
I also fixed a bug that made it so that the charm button and the live tutorial dialogue wouldn't show up together. so now they do show up together lolll
:D
live tutorial added! not fully done but very functional. also, leaderboard limited to top 7 now.+2021-131▶Hello hello!!! shiba moment!
I am still working on my live tutorial (this thing is taking forever but it was in HIGH demand so I gotta get it done)
I got lots of good feedback in the recent feedback cycle and here are the updated list of things I will add:
-still yet to add that character (cyclist) that does the random rock paper scissors, will definitely get that fully done tomorrow
-a subway setting that lets you enter a subway and people will be coming from ALL directions so it's like MUCH harder
Shiba moment!
I'm posting one every day after two hours cuz i do want this randomness week challenge done lol
Updates:
-As you can see, the live tutorial is starting to come together! I created the typing like feel of the tutorial, which I thought was a pretty cool addition.
- this took me way longer than it should've LOL
things I will add:
- I'm adding new characters to the game (one character will have you do rock paper scissors, which will be the 'random' aspect I add to the game.
- different backdrops/settings (?) :D
I'm actually 5 hours overdue lol but I need to ship this demo
yay!! pls have fun I worked hard on this lol
updates are all in previous shiba moments :)
shiba momenttttt
Updates:
- I fixed a leaderboard bug where now it only shows top 7 scores lol
- I'm working on a live tutorial thing so like this little snippet of code is a sneak peek of how it's going to go! it's taking forever though it's so tough lol
shiba moment!! yay
updates:
- functional leaderboard
- wasd bound
- puddle slow fx
- animation for entering the leaderboard and how to play scenes
- sfx for all events (and animations :D)
- finally the main character and puddles and all events move correspondently with the parallax background :')
added sfx for all events.+340-7▶textures added for leaderboard and new entering animations created(for how to play and leaderboard)! puddles also have fx now.+989-43▶functional leaderboard added.+226-22▶shiba moment! yay
I just found out that mac has a built in screen recorder so I decided to post a recording lol
Updates:
- Puddles functional and in-game
- charms fully functional now
- 321 countdown after dialogue scenes (iM LIKE SUPER MEGA PROUD OF THAT ANIMATION JUST WATCH LOL)
- coin count and shield engaged icons look much better now as seen
Hopefully this all lessens repetitiveness
Future things coming:
- high score keeping system
- more characters
- live tutorial system
added 321 countdown after encounters, revamped coin count and shield engaged icons, added puddles that slow the player down.+2816-59▶demo!!
OK i know that I can't finish those few bits in like less than an hour so I'm just gonna ship this one!
I feel like I made lots of improvements (i even added a new character which takes forever LOL so pls be proud)
I basically outlined all of my updates in my last shiba moment so yeah! check that out if you want.
have funnnn
shiba moment!!
I'm about to ship a demo, but I'm still yet to finish a few bits so I want to finish those first before shipping a third version.
Updates:
We have coins, shields, charms, and puddles now!
They all do the following respectively:
- when you collect 5 coins, you get a FEVER as seen in the screenshot! It makes your points multiply faster and by a larger rate! and there's a cool animation for it too
- shields allow you to protect yourself from your next encounter (no dialogue scene ensues when your shield is engaged)
- charm allows you to charm your way out of a dialogue scenario (it will be an option button when you enter a dialogue situation)
- puddles make you walk slower so it's pretty hard to dodge enemies once you walk into one
I got a lot of feedback on repetition so hopefully this helps with that!
coin and shield fully functional! left event spawnings to be frequent temporarily for testing purposes.+464-24▶yay back with a shiba moment!!
Now as you can see in the screenshot, there is a point system.
Also, I added "events" so like that bubble looking thing is a charm that allows you to charm your way out of a language scenario.
Charms are quite rare, however; coins and shields will pop up more often.
Also, I finally changed the outer rim of the game to no longer be those ugly buildings but now like a sidewalk with street lamps, benches, little stalls, and trees. Overall, just trying to escape the repetitiveness that I got as feedback from a number of people. That being said, because this is an arcade game, I'm going to keep it repetitive on purpose because that is kind of the essence of an arcade game, and when I designed my game, I had the fact that it was an arcade game in mind when I was doing game design.
changed the entire game tiles to be 72x72 and retextured the surrounding buildings (now streetlamps, benches, etc.) also added 'events' like coins and shields to make the game less repetitive but still nonfunctional rn+611-35▶point system added+124-4▶I added a new character! the fashionista lol. dialogue: chinese+587-43▶Okkkk crosscross version 2 is out!
I added a bunch of things from the feedback I got from playtesting so thanks to everyone who playtested my game!
I added more dialogue per character (randomized each encounter) so it's harder to memorize the answers for each dialogue scenario! I hope this is a step-up from the previous version lolll. But most of my updates are in my previous devlog so I'm too lazy to rewrite them again lol.
Have fun!
Just a note: All art in the game is mine (I created it before artlogs were a thing) and I will start uploading timelapses once I figure out how. Also, the music is mostly not mine they're from freesound.org with Creative Commons 0, but the main game music that plays when you're playing is actually composed by me in musescore. (I play violin so I have musical understanding lol)
added more dialogues per enemy and randomized them.+1493-37▶totally forgot that git exists but basically added a buncha new art and animations and added audio and made the game work with a parallax+7600-27▶Hey! I'm back with another update.
I'm honestly too lazy to do a screen recording cuz idk how to do that. BUT!
Updates:
- Added audio (finally LOL)
- I added SFX
- I created new animations (as you can see here, this is my favorite frame LOL) for all the characters that I had because before I only had the office man's animation done (so like no matter who you encountered it was literally just the office man animation)
- I just realized art logs exist now so I'll probably need to start figuring out how to do timelapses
- Idk if anyone wants to know but if you want to know I use aseprite for all the art that I do. It's 20 bucks but I think it was completely worth it.
- I added a game over screen as well and I'm really proud of it lol
Things I will add:
- I need to redraw the buildings because their perspective isn't even top down and they're looking really ugly compared to all the other art in my game
- I'll create more characters and more dialogue scenarios per character so that it's harder to just memorize all of the answers
- If anyone is play testing my game and reading this, just know that you're not supposed to understand what the people are saying like unless you know the language. It's part of the game to guess what to say.
hey! I didn't realize these screenshots were like REQUIRED. I thought they were optional LOL
anyhow here is a status update, I created a functional main menu and when you hover over the buttons, they change color. The background is an animation and it flickers on and off (i just thought that was a fun detail lolll)
Hey! okay this is my first demo ship. I wanted to upload at least something and I have all of the main components of the game done. but im still missing a lot of things (revamped art, music, game screens like game over, etc) so pls be kind 😭😭😭
First commit: crosscross base layout+1562▶I set up Godot and I'm still deciding on what kind of game to make, hence the name 'Molla' which literally means i don't know in korean lol
