And today, we learn a lesson on code organization!


1.) Find a small, really inconspicuous bug.
2.) Fix small, inconspicuous bug.
3.) EVERYTHING ELSE BREAKS!!!

It’s incredible what one line of miss placed code can do to a game as it gets bigger!

From randomly floating slightly above a floor, to randomly plummeting through them like they don’t exist to your death, to the game not even compiling - messy code has a way of snowballing itself.

I spent the whole night rewriting the jump and collision detection stuff so that it works more consistently, and the code is still a disaster of spaghetti code.

Going to have to look at my methods going forward to make sure this doesn’t happen again… it’s a bit depressing - I sat down excited to make my first boss encounter, and instead I spent the night 3 inches from my screen squinting at lines of code muttering “what the heck does this even do?”

TONIGHT though - tonight I make a boss!

Oh man! This is progress! Colored text is impressive to everyone!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

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?
