Zap and Andy Bad End 4 (Patreon)

We got a LONG gif/vid today folks, so buckle up!  (The gif/vid is almost 2 minutes long!)

The vid lets you skip around, so I'd grab that if you just wanna see a specific part of the event.

Today I'm proud to show off the 4th bad end of Zap and Andy, which you get if you run out of time while trying to defeat Dab the dream demon.

In the actual game, the timer will be longer, giving the player a couple minutes to figure out what to do, but for the purposes of this demonstration the timer was made much much shorter.

Either way, bad ends in Zap and Andy don't really punish you so much as just give you an alternate scene for trying something. (Or not trying something in this case.)

A lot of background coding was done for both the timer and this bad end screen. The timer required some custom code that wouldn't make it aggrivating for people with slow computers to see the scene, and the bad end cutscene renderer has never had to work in a room with this much vertical scrolling, so something had to be added.

Now bad ends can happen in rooms with any amount of scrolling, with any amount of playable characters, and under any circumstance. :V This will make adding the bad ends in sections where you just play as Zap or Andy much much easier, and it opens a lot of possibilities into what kind of events can lead into a bad end as well.

I'll be back tuesday with some more progress. Hope you guys enjoy your weekend!
