This is going to be my last post until September 2nd (sunday). I am having a break from developing Time Travel, and some time to regenerate. I think this is going to be the best for me.

Goodbye,
@Dynamic0


Take care!


I can't wait to see what happens next in September!

Hello everyone!


I'm officially back! Don't have update yet, but from today, I'm starting to work on Time Travel again. Thanks to everyone who watches these posts.


Wish you best luck,

Hello everyone!


New build released! Fnally replaced the TODOs with real explaining. I added some ungrabing mechanism which ungrabs a cube or a prism which you're holding if it is behind a wall. Also UI anchoring in fullscreen works from now. That means you can play in fullscreen.

When I playtested, I noticed I am able to glitch out of the level using past selves. Not fixed it yet, but if you glitch out, the game will restart the level after while.

Hello everyone!


I haven't worked on Time Travel this week, mainly due to the late release of Build 0004 on Sunday. Don't worry, Build 0005 should come next week.

Hello everyone!


New level coming out! It's a bit glitchy, because I added new stuck message which is sometimes triggered when it's not necessary. Will be fixed soon.

Hello everyone!


I have to annouce that I took too many projects to work on, and I will slow the development of Time Travel until I finish at least one other project, which I think I'll finish fast. Level 9 is still in development by the way.

I have finished the project, but I'm having trouble with making level 9. I ran out of ideas, and it may take me a while to make new level.

Hello everyone!


I'm making progress with creating level 9! There are going to be 10 levels in alpha and 15 in the final game. I also changed the way how FPS is computed.

I'm almost at the planned level amount! I've added stander-based level 9, and stucksolving mechanisms to almost all levels.

I have a doubt.


When you "time-travel", you generate a clone, that makes the same actions you did before. However, the clone must have a limit of actions from the moment it is created until the moment you time-traveled, which makes think: after that, what happens with the clone? it just auto destroys? stands still 'till the end of times? does something special?


Being 100% alive means taking a 50% of actions and having a 50% of perspective

That's a nice question.


Your clone repeats the actions, including the time travel action. So when the clone reaches the time travel action, it vanishes because before you vanished in the timeline and returned back because of time travel.


I hope I explained it all.

Hello everyone!


I did some bugfixing this week. I've noticed I couldn't get to level 9 from level 8, but only from menu. I've fixed this bug, and added a "Back to menu" button to the end screen. Also development on level 10 was started.

I didn't create the build 0010 this week. Level creating is harder than it seems, so it may take a week or two, maybe three until I finish level 10.

Hello everyone!


Saving and loading didn't ended well, it has plenty of major bugs so I decided to do it later. In past two weeks, I've successfully implemented UI localization and now I'm updating the web visuals. The design is good, but there is some optimization to do.

Hello people!


Sorry for the interruption, I was working for almost a month without sharing updates, so here we go:

  • Updated web visuals, optimization is in progress. I've got the backbone, but I'm still testing and porting to more levels
  • Completed basic saving and loading (still needs some testing)


As always, thanks for reading and patience.

Hello everyone,


today it is exactly one year since the first post. I think it is posible to say that almost everything of the Future Plans section in the initial post was completed. There are still things in my TODO list that were added later and are either in development or waiting to be developed.


In one of the previous posts I said there are going to be fifteen levels and then I struggled with making ten of them. I'll see how many of the remaining five levels I'll be able to finish.


At the end, I'd like to thank you for a year of support, it really means a lot to me.

Have a nice day,

@Dynamic0

Hi guys!


It's been a long time since I posted some GIFs here, so here is a preview of the new main menu:

Hi!


I know I haven't posted here in a while. I lost motivation for about a month, but then I received frontpage on my AIM entry and that got me motivated again, so now I'm back.

I have successfully sped up the loading, started working on a big surprise, and coded a post-processor today (it can modify the game color and make a wave-like effect).


Thanks for patience!

Hi folks!


It's been a long time. How have you been?

Portal references aside, I've created a very big scene.

There's just one small thing we need to take care of first.

I'm doing it again. But there really is a problem, and that's the loading time. Unoptimized, the app freezed after 8 second and was freezed until it finished loading. Luckily, today I finished my optimizing and it takes about one and a half second to load.

I hope I'll remember to post more often, because I don't want to post one post in two months.
