05.03.2025 - Video: QUOD INIT EXIT IIo / preview #8
QUOD INIT EXIT IIo is a platformer with original mechanics, a few puzzle elements and an unprecedented graphical engine, that you can download as a playable preview from here. Update: Finally one more zone (i.e. level) of the game is complete! Enter the mad scientist's TOWERS! (Yes, it's also a tribute to a certain famous C64 game.) Making this zone has been even tougher than the other ones due to the fake 3D perspective, which increases the already extreme complexity of drawing the tiles, designing the map and writing the zone-specific code. Moreover, the maps of the CLIFFS and FORTRESS zones has been made bigger and better and all the rest received quite a number of improvements too!
