It’s been a rough day today, I had at least 2 episodes of clusterfucks where some serious thinking was required. I don’t really have any *gameplay* yet, but since the engine is about done-ish…(?)… It won’t take many hours to put at least some minimal fun on there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve been inspired by Doom, Wolf3D, Link’s Awakening and the good ol’ arcade shooters. The idea is to have a sort of arcade arena shooter with a game mechanic twist, which I will not reveal, thank you very much!\u00a0\u00a0However, there will be pointless coins to pick up, of course! I did however want to set more atmosphere in the game, so I came up with some lighting and post-processing stuff to make it feel more… eerie and perhaps even immersive.<\/p>\n

I have a pic to show some progress, it far from shows everything, but it shows some of the placeholder \/ testing stuff.<\/p>\n

Some of the art, at least for the player, is very inspired by one of Notch’s old entries. I took a keen liking to it, simply because it’s VERY easy to draw out quickly and have it look decent almost from the get-go. I’m making it myself, but I’m not going to deny it is recognizably inspired.<\/p>\n
