Dev_session_the_return_of_pluto
29 Mar 2025 - boulean
Last night I streamed another dev session for my game, The Return of Pluto on Twitch.
Here is what I accomplished during the stream:
- The color change option is now fully functional.
- Fixed an issue with the Resources Display.
- Fixed an issue that was causing Milestones to duplicate.
- More aliens!
1. The color change option is now fully functional:
The option to change the color to pink (for better contrast and visibility) is now fully functional.
- The color of the moon name text now changes to the correct color when changing the color from the options menu.
- The quit confirmation pop-up now changes to the correct color when changing the color from the options menu.
- The About, Story, and How To Play pages now change to the correct color when changing the color from the options menu.
- The Game Over and Level Complete screens now change to the correct color when changing the color from the options menu.
- New sprites were created for the alien, UFO, and projectiles, so that they now change to the correct color when changing the color from the options menu.
2. Fixed an issue with the Resources Display:
The Resources Display was not being show if you opened and closed the options menu from the Planetary Map screen. This is now resolved.
3. Fixed an issue that was causing Milestones to duplicate:
After quitting to the main menu, from within the game, then returning to the game and opening the Milestones page, there would be a duplicate of each Milestone. This could be done an infinite number of times, but is now resolved.
4. More Aliens!
Now, during the game, aliens will spawn randomly (but infrequently) from outside the player’s view and target the player. This is intended to add a bit more danger to the various moons.
Please note: This is not a release post, so these changes are not yet available.
