Hi, everybody! :)
Here's the 147th weekly recap of Proto Blast development, and the work on replicating the game to the new version of GDevelop continues :)
During the replication work, I noticed several problems on the old project, so I fixed them along with applying the fixed version on the new project for the replicated scenes. There are still plenty to work on that, though. For now, at least all the scenes except the dialog scene and game levels are successfully replicated :)
Oh, yeah, game levels, that's the core, though XD
Well, that's the main part, and of course need more time and effort to replicate. But once at least a level is done, we can start testing on how it performs and how well the export to mobile (Android) feature works in this new version of GDevelop ;)
Hi, everyone! :)
The work on Proto Blast continues, specifically on replicating the game to the new GDevelop 5. Albeit kinda confusing due to the change of interface, after doing some work in it, I had to admit that this new version of GDevelop is more intuitive than GDevelop 4. Being a beta, there are still some noticeable problems, though. One of them is its inability to open the last used folder when selecting image to add to the game. It always defaults to Recently Used files, so if we want to add new image, we have to go through all the folder to its location.

The nice thing is that now game previews in a standalone window instead of opening in a browser. It makes testing the game easier.
There are still plenty to do till the game level is ready to test, so I'll continue on working on the replication.
Hello, everybody! Welcome to the 145th weekly recap of Proto Blast development :)
As mentioned on previous week's recap, I've got exam on Sunday, so this one's another quick recap.
I'm still continuing the test/work on replicating the game in the new version of GDevelop. The change from GDevelop 4 to GDevelop 5 turned out to be kinda drastic, though. So, I also need to get used to the new interface first.

Well, I think that's pretty much all I can tell for this recap. I hope it will be replicated enough for a play-test at least by the end of the next week.
Stay [...]
Hello, everyone! :)
Here's the 144th weekly recap of Proto Blast development. It is a quick one, though. I've got exams on this week's Sunday and the next one, so I needed to prepare for them. With the new version of GDevelop, I need to do some tests before deciding whether I'll stick to the old one or migrate the game, manually, by recreating it in the new version since it doesn't allow us to import old version's project.

So, that's what I'm doing. I'll see how it works, but it needs time to reach a playable stage to test.
Okay, I think that's all for now. Stay tuned for the [...]
Hi, everybody! The 143rd weekly recap of Proto Blast development is here :)
With the game features is considered complete, it's time to revisit some stuffs that was left from quite a while ago: exporting the game to Android ... only to find out that Intel XDK has already been discontinued. Now we have to use Phonegap Build. I've tried to use it before, albeit with unsatisfactory result. But time has passed since then, so it's time to give it another chance! :)

... And the result wasn't any better than before :(
Previously, it built the game and resulted in an .apk file. Now, it doesn't even build it. It shows the error, but even the linked page doesn't clearly tell how to solve the problem.
Hi, everyone! :)
It is sad to say, but the development of Proto Blast's kinda on hiatus this week. In term of the game commands and assets, that is. In preparation for release (yeah, that's coming, although I feel more polish should be done beforehand ;) ), I need to fix some stuffs first. As you may already know, Proto Blast has a comix story that was published on Ngomik, but, well, all of a sudden ngomik.com is not accessible anymore for quite a while already.

So, I'm still looking for a new place to host the comic. The options are Ciayo, OokbeeComics, and... this very site, upforward, probably by adding a new subdomain. But I prefer to simply re-publish it on an already established platform, though.
Hello, everybody! Welcome to the 141st weekly recap of Proto Blast development! :)
Picking up from what I was working on before, the work on audio mechanism continues. While working on completing the SFX for all levels, I noticed that the level clear music had only been applied on the first level O_o
So, I worked on that, while adjusting it to match the new mechanism. It is currently played as sound instead of music, but I'm considering on changing it so that it still plays when the SFX is set to off, because, well, it literally is music.


I also noticed [...]
Hello, everyone! :)
This is the 140th weekly recap of Proto Blast development, and I think I really really need to get back on track. I worked on the on/off toggle mechanism for sound effects. Basically, I need to separate the sound commands and add a condition to them, so that they only play when the SFX is set to on.

And that's got to be done on every game command that involves sound, on every level XD
Yep, it took time, but, hey, now it works!
The game is closer to release, but some stuffs need to be settled first.
So, here are the list of assets that need to be done:
  • Music: [...]
Hi, everybody! :)
Here's the 139th weekly recap of Proto Blast development. It is sad, but this week sees another small progress on the development of Proto Blast. So, well, here's another quick recap. I continued working on the sound control mechanism, so that the on/off toggle mechanism for music takes effect on game levels.

And it works :)
It has been applied on all five levels. That leaves us the on/off toggle mechanism for sound effects! That's what the next week's menu is.
So, here are the list of assets that need to be done:
  • Music: Story [...]
Hi, everyone! :)
The work on Proto Blast development continues, especially on the sound control mechanisms. This week's recap will be another quick recap, though. I worked on the game editor to apply the settings set in the settings scene to take effect on the game levels.

And yay, it works :)
I also tested it on all five levels, and it works nicely. That leaves us with the on/off toggle mechanisms for music and sound effects (SFX) to take effects on the game levels.
Ans so, here are the list of assets that need to be done:
  • Music: Story - Normal [...]
