Small things make the difference

Game

Asteroid Escape

14 years ago

Upon original release of Asteroid Escape, it was very barebones, and lacked a lot of features such as powerups. This is mainly becuase I was in a bit of rush to push it out before I head out for vacation.

But back to the topic, 20 minutes spent fixing up somethings and addind some very small things like a scrolling background made a huge difference in the overall quality of the game.

While yes a background may seem a big change by how much of the screen it affects, but as far as code goes, I have spent 10X as much code on way less noticable things, and that is usually the way of things sadly….

So, moral of the story, take into account all of the little things that seem very inconsequential (no idea how to spell), but added up (or even on their own) they make all the difference.

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.
