I couldn’t do anything on Saturday as I was busy with freelance work that took far longer than I anticipated but I did start doing a mind map and thought about what I could do. So here’s what I managed to cook up in terms of ideas using a program called Freemind:

Started early this morning with a mind to do just one level as that is all I’ll have time to do today. The game itself is called Gold Hunter and is a clone (of sorts) of Lode Runner, with the object being to collect the gold and avoid the enemies (Troggies) who can smell you but cannot see you.

Here’s a screenshot of the game (no sprites or level assets yet) running:

And here’s the latest shot of the mockup of the part done level structure:

Just taking an hour off before I get back into it!
