A Summary of Progress on Super Ice Cube!


Super Ice Cube! is my very first game here on GameJolt, and my first game really worth sharing. I kept a devlog throughout the development of this game, and thought to post it on here, in a more organized state of course. ^^ I love reading Devlogs, and I hope you do too!

Note: This game was originally intended to be built over the course of a month, but due to my own lack of self discipline, it took twice as long. That is why some weeks were compiled together, for parts of the game I forgot to log. ^^

Weeks 1-2 were spent setting up the game project. Importing placeholder sprites, creating objects, etcetera. I worked rather intermittently at the start, so not much progress was made.

Weeks 3-4 were spent actually programming! Movement was put in, gravity applied, and collisions constructed. These things too quite a while to do, again, from my lack of self-discipline.

Week 5 was when enemies were finally implemented into the game, and the HUD was finally started. Also, some placeholder sprites were replaced with proper sprites.

Week 6 was probably one of the most productive weeks. I replaced enemy placeholder sprites, made the dirt tile auto-tile, added gamepad support (which, I learned, makes any game 20% more fun!), and added BGM and SFX. Best week ever!

Week 7 is when it finally looks and feels like a decent, playable game. I updated the HUD with collectible count, created an entry/exit system for the levels, cleaned up some unused resources, and initially created this GameJolt page. (Though kept it hidden until I had the game to a fully playable point!) Also implemented most of the boss, too.

The Final Week, Week 8, was spent finishing the game! Finished the boss, fixed a few bugs, got my sister to test it… I’ve got to admit, it’s fun to watch people play my games! ^^ Also thinking if there is anything I want to add to the game, but I’m mostly preoccupied with what I’m going to make for February’s game… hmm…

Next month’s game will be up (in devlog form) a bit earlier than this one was. Probably once I get a good start on it. But who knows what the future holds! ^^

Thank you for reading, and if you haven’t already, give Super Ice Cube! a try! ^^

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!
