Knuckles Quest v0.4.0 Update



Once again, Knuckles Quest has received an update! This time I've gone ahead and added some of the more substantial features I wanted to get out of the way before I start with the actual quest – I hear it's good to be prepared. Here's what's new in this version:

  • LOCAL SPLIT-SCREEN MULTIPLAYER! This is the big thing that I wanted to try and include in this version, and it was honestly easier than I expected. In this mode, you and one other (un?)willing participant compete to see who will get more emeralds in the stage. (I wonder how easy it would be to add an online mode...)
  • Menu changes
    • Added random seed option for emerald placements
    • Added options for different radar types
      • Default: similar to previous demos, the radar can detect all three emeralds but only displays one icon
      • SA1-style: the radar detects all three emeralds on separate icons
      • SA2-style: the radar only detects one emerald at a time in sequence
    • Changed resolution options to detect monitor's resolution
    • Changed audio settings to use logarithmic scaling
    • Can back out of menus using Escape/right face button
  • Added swimming mechanics (even though there are no water levels yet)
  • Other additions, fixes and tweaks
    • Updated editor version to Unity 6000.0.42f1
      • Removed Unity splash screen
    • Overhauled death animation
      • Added death sound
    • Added acceleration and deceleration to gliding
    • Added more hint monitors to the level
    • Visual tweaks to environment
    • Added squash & stretch animations when jumping, bouncing, and landing
    • Tweaked falling & stage intro animations
    • Made laser sounds more quiet
    • Launching and knockback animations play while holding keys
    • Slightly tweaked analog control
      • Minor deadzone in the middle; should fix bug where you can glide in place
    • Fixed bug where player would briefly "land" when sliding down steep slopes
    • Fixed bug where master volume resets upon opening options
    • Fixed bug where pressing pause on "quit?" screen resumes game

Play the new version in your browser or download it now! On that note, I have now published Mac and Linux versions of this demo for those of you who want to download it on those devices!
