Preliminary Scourge of Tethys Android release

Over the past few weeks I've been working on features and graphics to allow Scourge of Tethys to be played on Android phones and tablets. I was also working on a post about virtual controls which I hope to finish soon. I will be launching the game on the Google Play Store, but I still have to work out the details of that.

Please only buy it if you have version 4.0+ of Android as it won't work on any previous versions.
You can get the APK from itch.io for only $1. Buying it from itch.io also means you get the desktop version as well.

If you have any problems with the game please contact me on Twitter

Godot on the other hand is pretty widely used, despite being newer, and since it is code first and based on a variant of Python, programming principles are easier to translate to it. This doesn't mean it is struggle free, but I've managed to learn a lot already. Anway, I've started working on Super Mansion Quest again, since I now have a better idea of what I want the gameplay to be like,   I made the decision that instead of having endless rooms, the maps will be contiguous, which means the architecture will also be more logical In order to support this properly I had to come up with a way to transition the camera between spaces and hide rooms when they aren't active, as shown in the gif below. I'm posting more about this on my

Scourge of Tethys Updates

Over the last few weeks I've been working on updates for Scourge of Tethys. It's now sitting at V1.03 Major things I've added is a main menu theme by z0diakk, an online scoreboard, being able to play with a gamepad and a pause function. I've also added some small tweaks to the difficulty and controls so the game is more balanced. You can buy it from itch.io as pay what you want: http://jon-dog.itch.io/scourge-of-tethys It can also be played online at Kongregate & Gamejolt . I'm going to be doing a few more updates to the game over the next few weeks while trying to start a new project. Here's the full list of changes since the original release:
