PD2 Steam update progress!

As usual, I’ve been quiet for a while, so here’s the progress on the PD2 update on Steam! The current version on Steam works, so almost all of these fixes are a result of updating to the latest “Waking Engine” framework. (Waking Engine is what I’m calling the mechanics/code/assets for The Waking Cloak, ProtoDungeon, and anything else down the pipes that winds up using this!)

Updates

• Implemented CRT filters
• Implemented new menus, etc.
• Updated title screen card from white to black
• Updated water to latest version (so if you jump off the bridge you’ll drown, instead of just not being able to fall off at all)
• Changed save functionality to no longer save as soon as you get an item; we don’t need this anymore as we are no longer sending the player back to the start of the room if they fall in a pit

Bugfixes

• Fix: starlight ring use crashes the game :)
• Fix: bridges (all of them)
• Fix: cliffside colliders (you can drown now so let’s be careful)
• Fix: various objects positioning after sprite origin changes
• Fix: intro cutscene broken
• Fix: title screen broken
• Fix: missing region borders
• Fix: if you quit and reload you can get the ring item over and over
• Fix: ring block disappears immediately upon creation
• Fix: arrow generator positions
• Fix: UI missing starlight ring
• Fix: stairs
• Fix: invisible key
• Fix: upside down key (??)
• Fix: “FATHER” headstone moves when you push the mausoleum button, whoops
• Fix: mausoleum exterior not displaying, covered by mask
• Fix: basement block not saving position
• Fix: moon plant and sun headstone not disappearing at day and night respectively

In Progress

• Finalizing z-tilt on various objects/decoration
• Finalizing perspective change from 2D Zelda-like interior perspective to full orthographic cutaway perspective
• Fixing various small “wiring bugs” (fences not hooked up to buttons, etc.)
