HarleQuest! Demo 4

Demo Build 4

Like the previous demo, this build showcases the first floor of the Dungeon culminating in a fight with the first boss, The Executioner. It reflects the current state of the game including the following changes since the last demo:

• 60fps performance on the Dreamcast.
• Updated combat & controls (block and aim moved to right trigger).
• Sound effects play on many actions.
• Area-specific background music playing via CD direct audio.
• Procedural area generation (previous demo was fixed layout).
• Updated camera (now more zoomed in, but looks ahead where player is moving).
• Enemies now fade out consistently after defeat.
• Chests always emit items in the correct direction.

There are also some known bugs:

• Sometimes a non-interactive door randomly appears in the middle of first generated room.
• Attempting to block the executioner crashes the game (he's just that powerful).
• The move to 60fps has exposed some wonky transitions (moving between rooms has a brief stutter where Estienne's position is incorrect, and character animations have some abrupt stutters here and there).
• Framerate drops briefly when driving a purupuru vibration pack.

You can head over to the Discord server if you want to share any feedback about the build.

This new build of the Endurance Mode Demo brings massive performance improvements and much higher quality background music. It also fixes a crash issue in the second room.

HarleQuest! Milestone 1: Dreamcast .CDI

HarleQuest! Milestone 1 Build

This is the first public pre-release build of HarleQuest!
This is VERY early access so expect bugs, glitches and lots of issues.

This build is an endless run of the Sewer area with dumb enemies, janky combat, no music or sound effects and nothing but hearts to spend your money on in the shop. Still, see how far you can get!

Works on real hardware, and on Flycast 2.0 with some visual issues, but not on Redream.

Controls: Left stick to move, X to attack (keep pressed to hold attack), A to dodge roll
