Bog Bot

This was made for the Bog Jam run by Café Dot and Kael. The theme was "Robot Companion." Browse the other submissions here.

Digicats will guide you through the bog as you search for your missing robot body parts. Remember though, you need your arms before you can pick up other items. And if you're stuck and can't find the way to go, look where the rain falls.

How to Play

• WASD/Arrow keys = Move/Select
• Space/Enter = Confirm
• Esc/P = Pause (esc will exit fullscreen tho)
• Back = Exit

Known bugs

• The perspective of the player, NPCs, and trees/bushes is sometimes off.

Also, dialogue assumes the player will talk to everyone and get every item. It's possible to skip some things, so what people say afterwards won't make sense.

Changelog

v1.1.1

• Fixed a bug where the 2nd NPC going through the hidden path has a delay on fading that path into view

v1.1

• Version number now displays on the title screen
• Dialogue can now be skipped by pressing Space/Enter
• NPCs' collision shapes are now solid while they're not moving
• The first NPC now moves to the right instead of to the left, to avoid confusion about where the other leg is
• The second NPC is now in the center of their area, instead of at the top and more easily missed
• The player can no longer cause the music to stop playing in the ending area before they've met the criteria for the ending to happen
• If the player ends the game while dialogue is still playing, it now stops playing

The original jam version can be found here.

Programming

For clarity's sake, the main menu code was recreated exactly the same as my entry for last year's Café Dot anniversary jam. I figure the purpose of the jam is to learn something new, and as programmer that would be gameplay for me, so no need to bog myself down with something I already know how to do.

The dialogue code was also referenced from my older work, although it was changed significantly.
