I think strafing is now either by pressing Q or E keys, after the small update some time back. If that doesn't work, try holding the X key and pressing the turning keys.
Honestly I think the gameplay had a solid idea, except for the blue drakes. Having a frustrating ranged enemy is fine, but they need to go down really fast once the player gets to them.
The blue drakes are probably the first target you should chase down before focusing any of the other drakes, they can be frustrating to deal with.
I'm glad to hear you like the premise of the game. I like it myself and I'd love to push out a new game that has the same basic idea.
That being said, I'm currently working on something new, which I hope will turn out a bit better since it's not a project I need to crack into shape within a strict time limit. Though I can't say when I'll have something decent enough put together for itch.
There's a kind of a gallery that you unlock if you interact with a specific "hidden" pedestal. Nothing fancy though. It just allows you to replay all the NSFW scenes between enemies and the boss dragon.
The particular pedestal is the white one, standing alone at the end of a bunch of narrow ledges that talks about "voices" and "the main menu." You've got to exhaust the 4 or so lines of dialogue from it which after you should be able to see a new extras section in the game's main menu.
At that point you can just close and relaunch the game and it should be there.
Heck yeah horny King's Field with dragons sign me up
Animations were great, models were great, had a good time.
Only real complaint I had is the red orbs were kind of depressing... Game development is hard, cut yourself some slack! Considering short deadline and such I think it turned out really good! And was this a solo project? Good on ya.
There were a couple of entries about "I wanted this, but had to cut it" and just know that that's unfortunately very normal for game development. Especially when time constraints get involved.
Another thing you mentioned in the orbs was some qualms with game or level design so figured I'd mention the youtube channel GMTK (Game Maker's Toolkit)
He talks about a bunch of different aspects of game design and is a highly recommended watch from me if you feel a need to improve in that area.
Yeah, the whole project was a bit of a struggle to put together that quickly. Part of me wants to re-visit the game and build a new, enhanced version of it from scratch at some point.
After a year of learning how to code properly and make "video games" I still find level design to be perhaps the most difficult aspect of the entire process. The YouTube channel you suggested seems to have plenty of neat videos concerning game development overall. Think I'll take a look.
This was really fun, the bossfight takes too long for my taste but I love all the animations and the style. Do you have anywhere we can follow you/support you? I would love to see more in the future.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the game even if it is very crude and hastily put together.
I've no other sites beyond this very itch page here. So if you'd like to keep an eye on when and if I release anything new, this would be the place. I do have several projects on going, but none of them have made it to a point where they could be released as actual games though.
The most likely reason why the game wont run would be if you're using an older laptop with an integrated graphics chipset. Beyond that I can't really say what's wrong with it. The game runs on my own computer normally.
Hi I know this is an old comment but I'm having a similar problem I can boot the game and start but once it loads it stops responding? I've had issues godot before but the menu worked great and so I figured the game would too do you recall if it uses vulkan or opengl? If its the former that would explain it
I'm fairly sure Godot uses Vulkan by default. I can only hazard a guess that if you're using an older laptop or a very old video card, they might not have the proper support for it which can cause issues running the game.
I could always look into it, but changing the rendering pipeline might break the visuals and other graphical features that are part of the system the game is built on. The game's quite old now and a little bit of a mess, so to speak, so don't hold your breath.
It's a bit cryptic, but if you haven't already given up completely and couldn't figure it out yet, you need to defeat and smooch all the enemies along the way. There are two gates, the second one allows you to skip one or two enemies. I can't remember anymore exactly how many.
Game dev is really difficult, I agree. It's not too hard to make a bunch of separate systems, but putting them all together in a way where they work along or with each other is the most difficult part.
I've slowly been working on something new for the past month or two as time allows and with any luck there could be something new here before the year ends.
I haven't decided yet if I want to release something unfinished, akin to an early demo or a vertical slice or if I should finish the entire project before I put it out here.

How do I strafe?

I really like the style of graphics, I hope to see more projects from you. Is there a gallery in the game, if not, will it be implemented?
Thanks!

I've already found a white and a green pedestal, is there really another one, or did I not read all the lines from those two?
The particular pedestal is the white one, standing alone at the end of a bunch of narrow ledges that talks about "voices" and "the main menu." You've got to exhaust the 4 or so lines of dialogue from it which after you should be able to see a new extras section in the game's main menu.

Thank you very much!
game too difficult (tedious, actually) , and i don't know how much longer till i reach the boss. so i quit.
Yeah. I agree with you. It is quite tedious. Not everybody's cup of tea. Thanks for trying the game out anyway.

I can't open the game, it's not an .exe file, it's a .7z file
The game's exe file is packed in the zip file. You need something to extract its contents with, such as 7-zip.
please fix the game it won't open
Sorry to hear the game isn't working for you.

Yeah that would be it thanks for the reply no chance for a version that uses opengl? Understand if not

how to open the damn grate

Why is it the Shrek one xdd
Because she's the best dragon. ~
