Devlog #2


I am here again! Wassup guys?

I'm really happy to write to you once again, although I didn't get comments on the last one, I don't want to betray myself and possibly fail anyone who expects something from this project.

Without wasting time, let's get to the new updates.


Apu's Journey version 0.3

Much of what has been done so far has been resolved based on some feedback I noticed and updates to the game's lifespan.

So, unfortunately, this is not a big patch yet. But, a transition so that Apu becomes a better product. However, I would like to say that I have big plans for version 0.4 and I will do my best on it.

In the last note I mentioned some points that I would like to implement in 0.3, such as improved pixel art, new quest areas and more unlockable achievements in the game. With great satisfaction, each of these points was addressed!

One of my current concerns is the feeling of gameplay, I want to make Apu's Journey more and more fun to play, so one of the focal points currently is the use of the Joystick as a good option for gameplay.  

Here's a short video recorded by a friend testing it.


Regarding other adjustments, I chose to change the way I present some tutorials. Opting for images instead of text.

I obviously looked to Hollow Knight when taking this approach and I hope it was a happy choice.

You might also notice subtle level design changes in the game. And in some maps to optimize the player's learning from the elements that are found during the journey, I hope this makes the gameplay even more satisfying and intuitive. I'm still not completely satisfied with it, but it's enough for now. I hope you play and discover these changes for yourselves.

The last point is that Apu's Journey will soon have a version for Steam and I count on your support for this, I want to bring this great new feature in version 0.4, thank you everyone, that's all guys!
