# Inspiration
|
||||
|
||||
I'm a 90's kid, and when I was growing up in the era of 2D platformer games like
|
||||
_Sonic the Hedgehog_ and _Super Mario Bros._, I became interested in level design
|
||||
and would draw my own 'mazes' on paper of a side scrolling platformer type game.
|
||||
I would borrow ideas from _all_ sorts of videogames I liked, and draw in some
|
||||
buttons which open a door clear across the level (and I'd draw a little dotted
|
||||
line connecting the two so I don't forget), draw some trapdoors and lava pits
|
||||
and slippery slopes and such, and then "play" through the level with my
|
||||
imagination. I'd show my mazes to others and walk them through how it all
|
||||
plays out.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're just drawing with a pen and paper, the maze can be anything you want.
|
||||
You can draw a castle or a cave, place little gizmos and traps throughout the
|
||||
level and create puzzles. Do you want the red pixels to mean "fire" and burn the
|
||||
player? Or do you want to decorate the tops of "bloody" spikes with red? Either
|
||||
way, the 'fire' attribute on that color will do the job and you can draw whatever
|
||||
shape you want for your level hazards.

I've always wanted to make a videogame, and always liked to learn about game

design and everything, but never actually made anything worthwhile until

_Sketchy Maze._ Over time, I realized that I don't actually want to build

"a video game," what I wanted was a game _project_. Something I could just work
|

on and add features to, more of a game "platform," something long-term like

levels which are completed in sequence.

* The free (shareware) version gets at least one campaign available to play.
|

* The full version unlocks additional campaigns/chapters.

* **Level Editor & Custom Levels:**
|
||||
* A fully featured level and doodad editor is included, with all the tools
|
||||
needed to create custom content.
|
||||
* Custom doodads can be created or downloaded manually (and placed in the right
|
||||
game folder), and can be used in custom levels.
|
||||
* **Full Version Extras:**
|
||||
* The [full version](/register/) adds extra qualify-of-life improvements in
|
||||
support of custom user content, to make it easier to share custom levels
|
||||
which use custom doodads.
|
||||
* "Publish" a .level file which _embeds_ all of its custom doodads _inside_ the
|
||||
level data, so that it "just plays" on someone else's computer, if they also
|
||||
have the full version of the game.
|
||||
* [In the future](#future) there may be in-game features to upload and download
|
||||
custom levels and doodads online, for full versions of the game only.

# Future
|
||||
|
||||
## Single Player Campaign
|
||||
Some ideas I have for where the game can go after "1.0":
|
||||
|
||||
The game is expected to come with a series of proper levels built-in which
|
||||
are played in sequence and has some kind of interconnected story or
|
||||
something. Currently you get some tutorial levels.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Single Player Campaign:**
|
||||
* [ ]
|
||||
* **Polish:**
|
||||
* The platforming physics will be better. Currently the character gets
|
||||
stick walking up sloped surfaces, _especially_ moving Left (but not as
|
||||
much moving Right).
|
||||
|
||||
* [ ] Checkbox?
|
||||
|
||||
# Current Doodads
|
||||
|
||||
The current list of doodads built-in with the game can be found in the
|
||||
[guidebook](/guidebook/doodads.html). For the exhaustive list so far, we have:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Bird:** a red bird that flies back and forth and can be ridden on.
|
||||
* **Button:** sends a power on/off signal to a linked doodad.
|
||||
* **Colored Doors & Keys:** four pairs of locks and matching keys.
|
||||
* **Crumbly Floor:** a break-away floor.
|
||||
* **Electric Door:** a closed door that only opens when it's powered.
|
||||
* **Red Azulian:** test mob.
|
||||
* **Small Key Doors:** locked doors and keys that are consumed each time
|
||||
a door is unlocked.
|
||||
* **Start & End Flags:** set the player spawn point and level goal.
|
||||
* **State Blocks:** blue and orange blocks that toggle from solid to
|
||||
passable.
|
||||
* **State Button:** on/off switch that globally toggles state blocks.
|
||||
* **Switches:** toggle electric doors open or closed or provide power
|
||||
on/off to other doodads.
|
||||
* **Trapdoors:** one-way passages (all four directions).
|
||||
* **Warp Doors:** for fast travel around the map between any two linked
|
||||
Warp Doors.
|
||||
* **Warp Doors (Blue & Orange):** boolean state versions of Warp Doors,
|
||||
which may only be entered while the door is active.
|
||||
|
||||
Some hidden doodads that you can activate with cheat codes, but which
|
||||
don't **do** very much because they were for the player character:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Boy:** the player character in a blue hoodie.
|
||||
* **Blue Azulian:** the original placeholder character, a blue version of
|
||||
the Red Azulian.
|
||||
|
||||
(For that cheat code, try entering "boolProp showAllDoodads true" into
|
||||
the developer console **before** opening the Level Editor, and they will
|
||||
be available in the Doodads palette with the others).
|
||||
* Online services in-game for sharing levels and doodads with others.
|
||||
* For full versions of the game.
|
||||
* Players would be able to log on, browse levels and doodads uploaded by other
|
||||
players, and easily download and play them.
|
||||
* Multiplayer features:
|
||||
* Two-player level gameplay mode. (Possibly more than two players).
|
||||
* Multiplayer collaboration for the Level Editor?
|
||||
* Ability to play _and_ edit a level both in real time?
|
||||
* Mobile ports of the game (Android, Pinephone)
|
||||
* There is an example [Go SDL2 Android app](https://github.com/veandco/go-sdl2-examples/tree/master/examples/android)
|
||||
so getting an Android build may not be too difficult.
|
||||
* The game already "kinda works" on the Pine64 Pinephone running GNU/Linux.
|
||||
That device will be used to develop/test more touch-friendly user interfaces
|
||||
for the game ahead of any effort being put into Android.
|
||||
* Don't hold your breath for iOS support.

title: "Sketchy Maze v0.7.0 Released"
|
||||
date: 2021-06-20T15:34:51-07:00
|
||||
draft: false
|
||||
summary: A new alpha version of Sketchy Maze has been released.
|
||||
tags: ["release", "announcement"]
|
||||
---
|
||||
A new **alpha** version of _Sketchy Maze_ has been released, which brings
|
||||
several improvements to the game. This is also the first release in which the
|
||||
"free version" drifts meaningfully away from the "full version" in terms of
|
||||
features. The full version includes the ability to
|
||||
[publish](/guidebook/custom-levels/publishing.html) your level, bundling all of its
|
||||
custom doodads _inside_ the level file for easy sharing. The free version can
|
||||
still use custom doodads, but they must be managed manually.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Brush Patterns** for your level palette. Instead of your colors drawing on as
|
||||
plain, solid pixels, a color swatch can _sample_ with a Pattern to create a
|
||||
textured appearance when plotted on your level. Several patterns are built in
|
||||
including Noise, Marker, Ink, and others. The idea is that your brush strokes can
|
||||
look as though they were drawn in pencil graphite or similar.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Title Screen:** the demo level shown on the title screen will leisurely scroll
|
||||
around the page. The arrow keys may still manually scroll the level any direction.
|
||||
* **Attach Doodads to Level Files:** this is the first release that supports _truly_
|
||||
portable custom levels! By attaching your custom doodads _with_ your custom level
|
||||
file, it will "just play" on someone else's computer, and they don't need to copy
|
||||
all your custom doodads for it to work! But, free versions of the game will not
|
||||
get to enjoy this feature.
|
||||
* **Settings UI**: a "Settings" button on the home screen (or the Edit->Settings
|
||||
menu in the editor) will open a settings window. Check it out!
|
||||
* **Horizontal Toolbars option:** if enabled in the Settings window, the toolbar
|
||||
and palette in the Editor will be horizontal instead of vertical, along the top
|
||||
and bottom of the screen. This may be better optimized for smartphone-sized
|
||||
screens like the Pinephone. If the program is started with `-w mobile` the first
|
||||
time, it will use horizontal toolbars by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Some small bits of polish in the game's user interface:
|
||||
|
||||
* Some buttons are more colorful! The "Ok" button in alert boxes is blue and pressing
|
||||
Enter will select the blue button.
|
||||
* When opening a drawing to play or edit, a blue **Browse...** button is
|
||||
added so you can more easily find downloaded custom levels and play them.
|
||||
* In the Level Editor, the "Level -> **Attached Files**" menu will let you see
|
||||
and manage files attached to your level, such as its custom wallpaper image or
|
||||
any custom doodads that were published with the level.
|
||||
* The keyboard shortcut to open the developer console is now the tilde/grave key
|
||||
(`) instead of Enter.
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs fixed:
|
||||
|
||||
* The WASD keys to move the player character (as an alternative to the arrow keys)
|
||||
now works more reliably. Previously, they were affected by key-repeat so Boy would
|
||||
do a quick hop followed by a longer one when pressing W to jump. Also, his
|
||||
animation would not update correctly when moving via the WASD keys. Both bugs
|
||||
are fixed in this release.
|
||||
* Shortcut keys advertised in the menu, such as Ctrl-N and Ctrl-S, now actually work.

This is a small bugfix release: on the Windows build of v0.7.0, built-in wallpapers
|
||||
other than the default Notebook were failing to load.
|
||||
|
||||
No substantial differences for the Linux or Mac OS version, though I have
|
||||
improved my deployment scripts to make it easier to release the game in
|
||||
the future.

# Register Your Game
|
||||
|
||||
_Sketchy Maze_ is 100% free to play as a shareware game, but purchasing the
|
||||
full version will unlock additional features.
|
||||
|
||||
As of [release v0.7.0](/posts/release-v0.7.0/), registering for the full version
|
||||
of the game adds the following features:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Publish your custom levels, doodads included!** If you are using some custom
|
||||
doodads to design your levels, the Publish feature allows you to _easily_ share
|
||||
your level with others: all custom doodads will be _attached_ directly into
|
||||
the .level file, so you can send your level to your friend and it will
|
||||
"just play" on her computer, as all of its custom content is included!
|
||||
* **Play custom levels which have attached doodads:** the full version of the
|
||||
game is needed to _play_ such levels which were published with their custom
|
||||
doodads attached to the level file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Status: Coming Soon!
|
||||
|
||||
Options are currently being explored in terms of payment provider to begin
|
||||
selling full versions of this game. Until then, friends & family get free
|
||||
license keys.
|
||||
|
||||
## Buy once, free updates forever
|
||||
|
||||
The way this is going to work is that you buy the game just **one** time and
|
||||
get free updates to the game for as long as I find it interesting to develop.
|
||||
The early releases will be inexpensive and will go up as the game gains more
|
||||
features and popularity, so early adopters can get in on the later updates for
|
||||
a lower price!
|
||||
|
||||
## No DRM
|
||||
|
||||
Upon registering for the full version of the game, you will receive a
|
||||
"License Key file" which you select in-game to activate it. This process is
|
||||
100% off-line, no network connection required, I want to make sure the game still
|
||||
functions even if I get hit by a bus.
|
||||
|
||||
Future releases of the game will honor license keys generated for prior versions,
|
||||
except if your key is discovered leaked onto piracy websites; in which case,
|
||||
future releases of the game would stop accepting that license but older versions
|
||||
will still work.
