Four Months Later


Right, so a little bit of an update is due for this page.

I am still working on the re-do. Still don't have a title for it, still very early into development. I have to scrap some of the work I did for a reason I'll get into, but for now, the important thing to take out of this is that the project is still very much alive, and I do intend to keep working on it.

So, about the stuff I had to scrap. Not much, actually. What happened was, I created a little prototype, had a ton of issues with it, got bored, and then started working on menus and stuff. The one consistent flaw throughout all of that was that I was building the game wrong. I know it's a rookie mistake, but I tried to make every single room 1920x1080. I thought I'd be able to downscale that with a camera or something of that sort. In short, that was a bad idea, and now I have to shrink everything. This has helped me address some issues with design I was originally having. The original idea was to have everything zoomed out, as you see in every iteration of asteroids. The problem is, I'm inexperienced. But more than that: maps in games like Asteroids are typically created to be small. I want big maps with more than one kind of obstacle to come across and plenty of space to move around in. I am now going for something that upscales to more resolutions than 1920x1080, and will have more to show for it at some point in the future, maybe?

What you all think

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
