Update 0.2.0 and Post-Jam plans
Typey Birb » Devlog
Bevy Jam #1 has concluded and Typey Birb placed at #18 overall out of 74 entries.
The game will be preserved in its "jam submission state" under the github release tag `0.1.3` for anyone interested in playing it as it was rated.
While Typey Birb ranked highly for "gameplay" and "originality," it lost a lot of ground in "presentation" and "theme interpretation." I can't do too much about the way I shoehorned the theme in, and it doesn't matter a great deal to me post-jam. However, I'll be working on the game a bit in the future to fix bugs, replace placeholders, and keep it up-to-date with new Bevy releases.
Here's the changelog for the first post-jam update.
- Replaced placeholder obstacles with slightly-less-placeholder pipes
- Added a distinct sound when typing a "wrong character."
- Tweaked the camera
- Tweaked the UI slightly to make the score more visible
- Fixed an issue where Hero Birb had a rotational twitch while not moving
- Added a few more "endings" at various score thresholds
- Added an idle animation for Hero Birb on the start screen
- Hero Birb now starts the game at roughly the center of the playfield
- It's no longer possible for the first few obstacle gaps to be very distant from each other
- It's now less likely for multiple difficult obstacles to appear in a row
- Nerfed the maximum speed slightly
- Added some more words to the word list
