This will be a more technical update but important nonetheless.
I added resolution selection to the game, which will allow slower machines to run the game more smoothly with lower settings.
This was quite a task, I had to redo all the camera logic for the game, mini-games, arcades, cut-scenes, menus, boss levels etc, then go over all the layouts and fix the scale rate and on some cases adjust the scene itself.
I did some extensive testing of all the game, went through all the layouts and double checked, but it is possible that I missed something, small things like the background layer is off by a few pixels, so there's a blank hole where a wall should be.
If you'll come across anything like this, please let me know.
This update will also include some new graphics.
Bad Pad is platformer game mixed with a little arcading, shooting, puzzle solving and metroidvania elements, that being said it is still a platformer, so expect a lot of jumping and fair amount of dying along the way.
Bad Pad is my first full scale project, my hello world game if you will, I am making this game based on the memories and experiences I had growing up playing video games and as a tribute to all those amazing games that were simply fun!, a little frustrating at times... but mostly fun!
