Yes, yes, yes the wait is finally over!! I am finally at the point to release Snowman: The Battle!!
This game started as a one-week adventure where I wanted to make a snowman/winter game to be released before Christmas. One lazy thing after another happened, and two months later it’s released. And to be completely honest with you, this game shouldn’t have taken this long to produce.
I did do some revisions from the first version of the prototype that I made. The first version of the game I put some snowman in various levels and the levels would get increasingly difficult. The first view levels were just introductory where you can shoot and move. Then you move into more difficult levels where the snowman will move and you have to shoot them down. Now, the problem with the creating each level approach is……that I have to create each level by hand lol. And the way I envisioned it to go, that would be the dumb route in taking. So, I changed it up. Which, I believe, I decided to do in the beginning of January.
The route I decided to do, is a wave based level. Where the snowman is randomly generated. And once all the snowman has been eliminated, it will start over again. This turned out to be the best route (Duhh!!!). Not every snowman moves and shoots alike. Some move slow, while other’s move at fast speeds. The player has 5 lives through each level. At first, I had it where you have 5 lives throughout the whole game; it wouldn’t start over after each wave. Probably toooooo hard and would be too much of a troll on you guys/gals. So, I scratch that idea and let it restart for you guys. I also added the count of the snowman to the bottom right corner to let you know how many snowmen there are in the wave.
Again, this game took too long to make. In actuality, I should have finished this in 3 weeks’ tops time. I just had a lazy streak in me and didn’t get it done in time. I definitely will work on that in the future ;). Please, leave any comments here if you like it!
