So I’m almost done with all my core mechanics of my game.<\/p>\n
[404]<\/p>\n
The game is a space shooter with a twist: your ammunition is scattered over the map and you have to constantly fly around picking it up.
\n There’s multiple enemies, health power up and all menus and sounds are working.
\n I wanted to implement multiple scripted levels, but with around 6-7 hours left (I want to go to sleep at a normal time), I will have to opt out for a procedurally generated horde mode with waves.<\/p>\n
I changed my decisions as to the tools I was going to use at the last minute, and opted with allegro.js instead of Unity.
\n This meant that I had to write a lot of features that Unity would had already implemented, but it also meant that I was able to create a more lightweight game, and I didn’t had to deal with unnesesary stuff or wonky physics.
\n My code isn’t the greatest – it loses some framerate here and there, so I hope I’ll be able to optimise the code.<\/p>\n
There’s still time and let’s hope I will be able to playtest, bugfix and polish the game some more.
\n Overall I’m having a great time and I hope I will be able to finish my game in time for the compo!<\/p>\n \n
