Tomb Rater Devlog #3

This round of bug-finding was pretty crazy.

Discovered Bugs:

• Dashing sometimes sent the player through walls and… well, became unplayable (fixed)
• Jumping immediately after dashing sends player upwards vertically and getting stuck (fixed… but what even man)
• Camera while perfect dashing gets stuck on zoomed in (fixed)
• Interacting with interactables while moving causes animation to get stuck (fixed)
• Animations occasionally get stuck while on the floor after landing from jump (fixed but needs more testing)
• Dashing at exact moment where First Sight is triggered causes animation problems (investigating)
• Spike retract soundFX doesn’t play while off-screen, but triggers when player is within distance (investigating)

Updates:

• Added long overdue capsule image for game
• Fall speed reduced
• Run speed reduced slightly

Dev Thoughts:

• Adding just one mechanic like dashing caused such a headache… But looking forward to adding combat soon
• Progress is slow due to life commitments and complex bug discoveries

Question for gamers:

What do you personally expect from sidescrollers?
