Making The Leap! From Mobile to PC
As of version 0.3c, AH3AD is now available for PC!
Hello! Time to kickstart my first step into the PC environment with a devlog.
AH3AD is a mix of a runner and platformer, which I concepted long ago. Since earlier this year, I finally made it public with early access for Android. I wanted to reach a larger playerbase, so I decided to start making a move for PC too. I think it's a game that fits both platforms very well.
You will notice the game screen is very long, using letterboxing to achieve so. This is a very intended choice from me. On Android, the game fits to your screen no matter the size. But I feel the game works the best with a long visual space. So when working on the PC version, I made sure the game world would be displayed in such a way. Even with black bars "wasting" screen space, the experience maintains its quality, since a PC screen is quite big (specially compared to a phone screen!).
I have a lot of trouble usually when working with resolutions and UI, so it was a bit of an annoying process to reach this end! But that was the bulk of the work for the PC version. All that was left was preparing a way for players to explicitly close the game, since this isn't an expected thing with phone games.
Anyway, back to the game itself. AH3AD is currently on version 0.3. It features 3 worlds, with 6 stages each.
It's still lacking a lot of functionalities, which will be addressed on the next major update. In parallel, I'll be also working on the gameplay content that will make the game complete.
As of now, you can get a pretty damn good taste of how the game will be like. I'd say the game is 70% done as it is right now. I hope you look forward to seeing it being fully realized in the nearby future!
