A New Philosophy


Today, I once again attempted to make a rogue-like of sorts. Really, the only thing I can think of that makes it a rogulike is the scrolling text bar on the bottom. However, I did learn something that should help with later games.

So as to avoid the games coming out looking like half-baked tech demos’, I have decided thats its best to start with the very basics (in this case, get the player moving and the darkness working) and slowly add stuff on from there. For example, yesterday, by the forty-five minute mark, I had pretty much finished the whole game; (red and blue fighting around you, the score bar, and the game instructions) however, I had left out this idea of having another enemy on each side. Now seeing that I had extra time, I was able to add it in without the possibily of not having the time to finish it.

The same happended today. I had the basics down (the movent, the text bar, the darkness) and then just started adding things. However, instead of adding more things to interact with (which took next to no time, and added a lot more to the game) I added in attacking which took up the rest of the time and doesn’t have any use.

Fight! I was able to make a two player game today. Fight! has you commandeering either the red or green ship, and then blasting your foe to bits. Also, as of today, this project is twenty-percent complete.

Heartless I decided to leave out the sprite for jumping today. Instead, I focused my time on adding in two different weapons (a rifle and a rocket launcher), and some destrucible terrain.

Lost Mage Today’s game is Lost Mage. You wander around as a lost mage, pick up articulate mage staffs, and notice vague references to previous games.

No More Shops! Today’s game is a, finally, working shop menu. You switch between buying and selling a very small collection of items, (potions, ethers, and somas) and because I had extra time, I was able to add some sounds.

A Basic Platformer I’m taking back what I said yesterday, and am dedicating the rest of this week to making platformers. Today’s went very well. I was able to add in a shooting mechanic, destructible boxes, a life system, and an automatic door.

The Twenty-second Day

Blue and Green Today’s game is rather difficult to explain. On one hand it is an arena shooter; on the other hand, it has small traces of yesterdays game in it. It can also be a one-player or two-player game. Anyway, heres a screenshot.

Terminal Today’s game is a point and click called Terminal. You explore the floating city of terminal from its warehouse to its hangars while learning about its inhabitants and how they treat you.

World Map 2 This is probably more a map of places than an actual world map. Anyway, the game is called Liabus; you scroll through the four places that occupy the land of liabus, and read a short description on each of them.

This Satuday we invite to watch another #speedpainting of our artist Daniel Faiad.

How great is this scene of #Pecaminosa?
