Another tower defense plant
It took a lot of convincing to work on something, but I got some assistance from a friend about my game ideas.. Which were pretty dull to be honest. I’ve already committed to the jam, using the code left over from my last attempt, which was just a pretty basic Java method to link and draw linked Joint objects (with x,y,image,offsets).
My first attempt led to some grass, which doesn’t do much, but blows gently around.
Autograss was fine and all, but I started developing this and made the plant so that we could change some of the things in there.. So there is a chance on clicking the bud that you get either a split bud or a split leaf at the moment, but I’m thinking that in the game you will be able to select what you want on the different buds. It keeps a minimum amount of buds in play.
Tomorrow, I might get into adding some more interesting selectable objects and natural resources so you can build the ultimate plant.. And add some bugs and creepy crawlies, because you’ve got to defend it from something! Maybe other plants? Badgers? Snakes? I have no idea.
