Finishing up my game, streaming it

For the next hour or two, I’ll be finishing up my game. For anyone interested, here’s the stream: http://www.twitch.tv/josh1billion .

In total, I’ve spent about 3 or 4 hours on the game so far. My plan is to only spend another hour or two on it before packaging it up and submitting it. A 5-6 hour game isn’t going to be a very good game, but I’m happy for finishing up my first entry in a game dev competition.

The plan for what’s left:

  • Finish up the enemies, by adding a little more variety in their sprites, and by giving them AI to chase the player
  • Add a “game over” condition
  • Improve the map generator, making it so the player won’t get stuck inside of water/lava/etc.
  • Add some more tile graphics, so that the worlds look a little more different.
  • Add some indicator as to which world you’re in (World 1, World 2, etc.).
  • Maybe add a title screen.
  • Add sound effects (won’t be audible in the stream, since I don’t have a microphone set up, but gotta have them for anyone who downloads the game)

The source code will all be on GitHub.
