Instead, you have to use the shoulder buttons to cycle through your spells, or go to the game&#39;s main menu.<br/><br/>It looks awesome, but it&#39;s no longer a one-step process. So I think I&#39;m going to add a user option to change the behavior of the Start button in action scenes. I&#39;ll have it so it&#39;ll either pause the game, or bring up a Zelda II-style menu.<br/><br/>If your option is set to the latter, you can still properly pause the game by pressing Menu Meta while the menu is up.<br/><br/>#GameDev #EnigmaHeart<br/> <img src="https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/113/975/217/083/911/191/original/cba5804ddb273be5.png"> <br/> <img src="https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/113/975/217/225/804/278/original/9bd133d7fb190624.png"> <br/> <img src="https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/113/975/217/398/683/250/original/195e68c31f1ca067.png"> <br/> <img src="https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/113/975/228/084/271/106/original/fee16a1f7ba0651d.png"> <br/> 2025-02-09T18:00:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd82pn4mtqtlrpz9n5enq2zwquc75l9u4n48x2rjrgmzghlja85hqzyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4vcegkfd Thinking of adding the player&#39;s current location to the intermission screen, but I&#39;m not sure.<br/><br/>#GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #IndieGaming #PixelArt #EnigmaHeart<br/> <img src="https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/113/966/388/775/554/444/original/ff0314702abac48d.png"> <br/> 2025-02-08T04:33:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxgjhakdhqmulxwr0czuw34pxzfatunwjc9s93qwwqw8nf0rvddqszyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4vp2hjg0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdp4e2hsy2sxu6737gj5234pkq8j0yv5vlp077rwukd20wh2uugmqg9vxh3'>nevent1q…vxh3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>ngl it&#39;s pretty satisfying to reveal an item in this way.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qetxt0OhKS4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qetxt0OhKS4</a> 2025-02-05T18:31:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdp4e2hsy2sxu6737gj5234pkq8j0yv5vlp077rwukd20wh2uugmqzyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4vu9jsf8 I caved and added hidden items that you can stab to reveal them.<br/><br/>Now to figure out places I can hide them that *aren&#39;t* statues and gargoyle heads 2025-02-05T18:12:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2tx7e0mg5g3dx26pkmg2fahf8w4aze3sgsyugkhpvwzmvwyvzzmszyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4vvvcsuk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst30x5q36mukpdv2nltucdk0m7pkew83r5d27pzmgx4az9n5u04kczjaq5f'>nevent1q…aq5f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, I mean more in terms of Zelda II&#39;s player movement and mechanics and such.

With the original DOS version of Acronia, I think I proved that while I do have talent, I&#39;m not a good enough programmer to do a fast, free-scrolling VGA action game that runs on anything less than a Windows 95-era Pentium. I&#39;m not on the level of, say, those demoscene lunatics who made Jazz Jackrabbit 😅<br/><br/>I do still eventually want to make a DOS game, both to fulfill my promise to the DOS community, and because it&#39;s a dream of mine that I still want to see through. But I think whatever I make, it&#39;ll be a slower paced action game without scrolling, like Anzu Castle Gracula.<br/><br/>#DOSgaming #GameDev 2024-11-09T17:04:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgwmknw5rzszsw0zpl35znxlp93xye3ah07kaqgplmxvxlurhrc3czyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4vxvke6e oof, it&#39;s too early to function<br/><br/>I searched my code for &#34;dismissAll&#34;, but my fingers typed &#34;dismissAss&#34; 2024-11-08T15:47:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdfj6vpgd9plrnlk7t59gfvm0vz3gsddlefxly2ftkz6kprj7ct3gzyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4v6l0ush So I guess I need to implement menu scrolling now<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub19yjc99aa6l2j6lcvs82dvhplwn3cj3jh6jssjtdqp5q2ucy3dz3qdwz90k" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Hadrosaurus Software 🦕🌈💾</span> (<span class="italic">npub19yj…z90k</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>#GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #GUI #EnigmaHeart<br/> <img src="https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/113/443/590/939/266/628/original/e7bf3506916a8f61.png"> <br/> 2024-11-07T20:39:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszu9t8a8hyekh2zy69kcr63k5wv95d7mgfe6uxudjc62w0ftcwtvszyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4vl2x8su :lesbian_flag: 🛡️ <br/><br/><a href="https://patreon.com/hadrosoft">https://patreon.com/hadrosoft</a><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub19yjc99aa6l2j6lcvs82dvhplwn3cj3jh6jssjtdqp5q2ucy3dz3qdwz90k" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Hadrosaurus Software 🦕🌈💾</span> (<span class="italic">npub19yj…z90k</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>#GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGames #IndieGame #PixelArt #EnigmaHeart<br/> <img src="https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/113/434/015/633/415/164/original/e67a56ef92129b7e.png"> <br/> 2024-11-06T04:04:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr6ldltz2jup5khgmugvexdhj6l9qmgrtg5l3erxjfm9cz8qt452czyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4v38003r What are y&#39;all&#39;s thoughts on early access?<br/><br/>#GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #Steam 2024-11-06T02:32:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfacj3ayym54378jzt5wm6ejfwgy4sjfs6jqmdan8wmrhqkq39l5qzyqpar4tkup6cf4j8c5lg7t6fuxw3v0dpk7hqmzwznthjvq3ksuf4ve5h3fg Anybody got recommendations for indie game dev Patreons?
