bug quest v1.3


its the snail update baby!!!

ADDITIONS:

  • SNAIL ENDING!! you can now go to the snail's party! yay!
  • TWO MORE SECRET ENDINGS!! these ones are related to the worm and snail endings. i think these ones are a little easier to find than the previous secret ending haha. check every corner of the map that looks suspicious! 
  • NIGHTTIME BEE ZONE!! there are still some rooms that are blocked off that will be in the next update, but you can now go back in the hive at night! inside is a way to return to the daytime zones, which can be helpful if you realized you missed an ending prompt. one of the new secret endings also requires you to go back and forth. this feature maaaay have a few unforeseen repercussions since i designed the daytime areas to NOT be revisited so if you see anything weird... let me know
  • and always, there are more NPCs in old areas. nighttime danger zone in particular has more life to it!

CHANGES & FIXES:

  • fix: worm house interior now has solid walls
  • fix: bugs that didn't have dialogue in the last build now do have it
  • the bee zone has gotten a (mechanically) big overhaul! previously, i used a lot of duplicate rooms to give the illusion that you were being escorted to the dungeon by the bees, but now your sprite changes into the player avatar getting carried by bees and all your directions send you on a linear path. seriously the old way took up like 20kbs of space in the game file lol. which in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot but it made scrolling through the rooms/sprites a pain on my end sooooo big win for me only!!! it also makes this section faster to speed through
  • a few areas and assets have been slightly redesigned. some are just for aesthetic while others are to set up for potential future updates. 
  • various dialogue clean ups. there's still a bit more to go but we're getting there! the first four zones should be totally cleaned up. no more weird line spacing or single word dialogue boxes! yayy! i've also been a lot more conscious of it in new areas, so it'll be like a pincer attack to fix all that silly stuff.... heheh

COMING IN THE NEXT UPDATE:

  • butterfly ending, the last of the "main" endings
  • one last secret ending, which will be associated with the butterfly ending
  • danger zone (day) and rainy zone (night) expansions
  • the bee queen
  • mothman
  • i will probably also fix the worm-related secret ending so you can't get locked out of it. maybe

next will be the "final" update. i still have some ideas for a bonus ending, but next time will mark the end of things from my original 2018 design document. please look forward to it & thanks for playing!!!!!
