happystinson / downhill-willy

2D game made for BOSS Jam 2014.

Hi there 👋

downhill-willy's Issues

Add sound effects

• Collision with the different objects
• Player beats the current high score

Port the game to latest LÖVE

LÖVE introduced some breaking API changes and the code does not work with LÖVE 11.1.

Fix lag issues when playing

I experience some lag when playing. Need to investigate if it has to do with spawning of the objects or something else. Runs smooth for a while, then freezes shortly, then smooth again.

Make icons for release version

• Search email for vector versions of the game assets
• Make an icon set for macOS
• Make an icon for Windows and replace it with Resource Hacker
• Look for GIMP script to automate icon generation

Save the high score between runs

Just a nice to have that shouldn't be too hard to implement.

• Save the value to a file on quit and then read the value on load
• Maybe look at ways to prevent cheating, otherwise it's possible to just create a file and add anything to it... https://github.com/bakpakin/binser#file-io

Create new gameplay material

Just a screenshot + new video showing the current build (v. 0.1?).

Update Readme

• Basic information about the game
• Screenshots
• Images of the different objects
• Animated gif with Willys movement?
• Link to YouTube gameplay
• Acknowledgements
• Build info

Shrink assets

Currently the games love file is 80 MB.
The sound yodel_idle is around 30 MB and could be down sampled or shortened to make the release smaller.

Update release with builds for Win x64 and macOS
