Vine Mass -- Demo

This game is VERY unfinished.  It has the smallest of gameplay and no music.

With all that said, this is what I could get done in two weeks solo while working full time and as acting DM for a D&D group (OH, and I was learning Godot as I went for this project; I've had it in my library, but never really learned it).  I started getting into this more than I thought I would.  For some reason, 2D games never really appealed to me as a dev because "oh I wanna make a 3D game herr derr".  With this project, the more I dug in, the more I liked it, and I kind of want to do more with this.  At minimum, I would like to finish making the demo this year.  Depending on how I am feeling about this when I get to that point (if I get there), I may flesh this out into a full game with something like 10 levels or so.

Update (9/5/2024): I have gotten a lot more done lately due to time off from work, so this is far more fleshed out than what it was, but it is still far from finished.  The list below, and the disclaimer at the top, have been updated to reflect this.  I have continued to learn more about how various things function as I have worked on this.

Update (12/20/2024): Once again, I have gotten quite a bit done today (and today only) due to time off from work.  The world is starting to take shape bit by bit.  There are win/lose conditions and screens.  And you can kill the vinelings, but it might take a several attempts to get them.  On the bright side, their vine attack doesn't hurt you.  I hath made the 10 levels (though they are barren).

List of things left to finish for minimum demo:

• The rest of the pause menu:
  • Settings menu's
    • At main menu
    • And in game
  • A retry button
  • A save button
• Save mechanic
  
• Enemies
  • More of them (plus the titular mass)
• Guns
  • Bullets more specifically, now
  • Ammo pickups
• Actual statistics (Points, etc.)
  • Not sure what else I might add, but I am keeping this on here tentatively
• In-game HUD
  • Again, not sure what else, but I might add more later
• Music
• More art for various aspects
• And finally making all the art consistent in appearance pixel-wise
