Cuz if Game-Design turns out it ain't my thing.. who knows, my last outburst of creativity [before I kick the bucket].. could be going back to my very very VERY first creative endeavor. Writing. Of course.. I know! If nobody wants to play an obscure no-budget game, why would anyone want to read a completely unknown book by a completely unknown author..? Same sht. But no matter, maybe one day I will want to write a fiction novel that makes me happy, publish it on Amazon, hopefully find 1 reader.. somehow.. dunno how.. and THEN I can have some closure and kick my bucket.
But maybe I can find 2 readers, and then write a sequel!!.. : D
There's now Smooth Takeoff for Flight/Hover, so no more Boing!! on takeoff. Flying got much better. : ]
Life is being Saved now, so respawning the player in another level or after restarting the game will restart the current level, but your life stays where it was at. I might change my mind about this later..
Portals now collapse after 1 use.
There are 2 types of Portals: 1 for Upgrading, and 1 for Changing Skill. There are 7 possible Upgrades, so the first Portal you'll find is going to be a lvl 1. It collapses after 1 use. A lvl 2 Portal collapses if you're already lvl 1, and using it once. So on. So if you get to a lvl 7 Portal without ever upgrading, you can use that portal 7 times.. and then it collapses.
Changing Skill Portals are rare and always 1 use only. If you're unhappy with your main skill.. you can risk it and change it to a.. usually different skill. There's a small chance you get the same skill. There's a high chance you will not get the skill you wanted.. Better luck next time. : <
Or just stay away from these Portals.. darn it. Make do. I think that's kind of the essence of a roguelike. Sht happens and you make sht work! : >
