Sari Sari Skies - Changelog 4

April 23, 2025

Hello! This is the final prototype before we submit for PGDX. We did our best to put the new core features into the game. That being kite mode (or a dash with the kite) as well as dialogue interactions. 

All the levels in the game are here (altho in draft form) and all are winnable and lead to the next logical scene in our structure.  As such, please do your best to win the levels, so that you can see everything that is new! 

Please give kite mode a shot in the prototype playground, highly recommended controller for that. Remember that you need to jump in the kite mode, then press shift or Y in the direction of where you want to go. Use joystick or mouse to guide the pinwheel pointer. 

Also please give special attention to the dialogue put in. This is not a full implementation but is a good gist of most of it 

Features 

• New “Treadmill” Obstacle that pushes players back
• Interactable NPC functionality w/ Dialogue 
• Visual indicator for shouts being activated
• Level 2 is now fully functional!
• The Main Menu has been revamped
• Dialogue for most scenes before the final cutscene 
• Kite mode added! 
• AI polished (in some sense hehe)!

Changes 

• Players now enter a Stun state when hitting by the moving obstacles and jumping on the red part of wall obstacles
• Race UI functionality updated to include AI Racers and new shouts
• Player stats 
  • Max speed reduced to 6 from 7 
  • Decay rate from 0.05 to now 0.1 
  • Jump velocity from 9.5 to 10
• More intuitive mouse and keyboard for kite controls 
• Kite movement no longer following the mouse or joystick on the z axis.

Bug fixes 

• Obstacles no longer launch you as far and are generally more consistent in their knockback
• Kites no longer sticking at the back

TODO 

• Polishing everything

As being the final prototype before the PGDX release, I highly implore everyone to give 1.4 a shot and give feedback before we submit. Right now the devs will be focusing on polishing and making sure it is of good standard before we submit.
