After seven hours, six of which I was working on this, I have…<\/p>\n

*drumroll*<\/p>\n

A background.<\/p>\n

\"D2-BG\"<\/p>\n

That’s it. That, right there folks, is a 6-hour background (for an untalented pixel artist – I’m sure there are faster ways to accomplish the same thing, such as writing a program to do a lot of the work).<\/p>\n

The lava also moves. However, I didn’t want to upload a gif, because the lava takes 800 frames to complete one cycle – that’s an 8 megabyte gif. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

My game idea is pretty simple. I wanted to make an RPG this time, and I’m rolling with it. Basically, this is a dungeon, and, as would be expected, there will be monsters. (It will be a bit more complicated than that, but I don’t want to spoil it – especially if it turns out I can’t accomplish everything I want to in terms of story :P).<\/p>\n

The last time I knew exactly what type of game I wanted to make before the theme was announced was my first Ludum Dare, where I made a pretty lame sandbox game. Hopefully this one will turn out quite a bit better. \":)\"<\/p>","time":"December 10th, 2016 4:01 am","title":"Total progress so far"}
