Doors in Melkhior's Tower are fairly simple things, but there are situations that need to be considered. More info on my latest devlog post:

Some of the special baddies from the original Melkhior's Mansion will be making an appearance in Melkhior's Tower. Not 100% sure what they'll do yet, I need to figure that out. https://t.co/zYQmC9o3NY

Each object in Melkhior's Tower now has a weight property. This is to facilitate Sir Stamperlot's special ability of strength. #melkhiorstower #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

My new Playdate project, Melkhior's Tower, has a new home on Itch, where I'll post more frequent dev updates to avoid spamming the socials with too many updates. #melkhiorstower #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Started working on locked chests in my new game, Melkhior's Tower. Clues to the combination will be hidden somewhere around the place, and only Princess Ashby will be able to crank the locks. #melkhiorstower #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Levels in Melkhior's Tower (as it's now called) will be traversed via one way trapdoors. Not quite as easily as the video shows, this is just a test. 😀 #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Bit of a longer gameplay video that shows progress so far on Melkhior's for Playdate. Merry Christmas.🎄 #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Character collaboration will feature in many of the puzzles in my new Melkhior's Mansion spin-off for the Playdate. A quick turn of the crank switches between characters.

Tackling blocked doors in my new Melkhior's Mansion spin-off project for Playdate. I need to give this game a name, and start posting more updates.

The Melkhior's Mansion crew are coming to the Playdate. It's not going to be a straight conversion, it's going to be a different game, featuring graphics from the original by the awesome pixel artist @hot_piping

Still playing with this, but going in no particular direction. It's just fun seeing the Melkhior's Mansion characters come to life on the PlayDate.
