Rhythm Quest Devlog 53 — Level 6–1

I’m continuing to just roll ahead with levels! It’s funny, I feel like there was a long period of time when working on new levels and thinking about the mechanics felt intimidating, so I would just procrastinate on it and work on other miscellaneous things. But now I think it’s…

Despite not having a lot of time/energy to throw around this month, I somehow managed to finish working on level 5–5, tentatively titled “Brilliant Boulevard”: As is usual with the last level in each world, there are no new mechanics here, so it’s just combining everything from the previous…

Other than the occassional “I need to make sure this gets loaded early so it doesn’t cause a hitch during gameplay” issue, the only other major performance…
