Good morning,<\/p>\n

Sorry no blog post last night, was very much falling asleep in my chair when I called it quits.\u00a0 I was pushing myself so hard because I was unhappy with my progress so far, hopefully I can turn that around today.<\/p>\n

My game idea for this theme is for an Atlantis-like adventure – swimming around among a procedurally-generated underwater city, discovering key facts about mythological puzzles in order to unlock your escape.<\/p>\n

So far, I have the first iteration of basic movement down, and am well underway on building generation.\u00a0 The building generation part is taking more time than expected, maybe I should have done a quick-and-dirty voxel engine, but that’s not the feel I was going for, so…<\/p>\n

Floors, ceilings, and corner supports are generating for the buildings, now we just need some walls, doors, and windows and we can move on to the next part for a minute.<\/p>\n

\"Atlantis<\/a><\/p>\n

The player’s basic ongoing goal will probably be “reach the next checkpoint before you run out of air”.\u00a0 I’m thinking about having two endings – the “OK” ending where you manage to escape your predicament, and the “epic” ending where you do something, well, epic.<\/p>\n

Well, back to it.<\/p>","time":"April 26th, 2014 5:31 am","title":"And Then Morning Came"}
