Day 1 Progress

So far so good, the game grows rapidly, there are plenty of features already implemented (in addition to my previous post):

  • There’re pirates in the sky now. They shoot bullets trying to kill your ship. There’s no advanced AI there, try just sniff the air and move in your direction. If you go far enough – they stop following you.
  • You can shoot back too. Actually, I got stuck for an hour trying to figure out a weird bug with half of the bullets not being removed from the canvas as they should. But in the end it was a stupid mistake in my code.
  • Your fuel is limited now. You should buy more fuel in the cities (to-do). Each fuel crystal lasts 10 seconds (ta-da!)

Tomorrow I’m going to do the following:

  • Add refills and repairs in the cities
  • Add upgrade stations where you’ll be able to buy new ships with larger cargo bay, increased speed, and better guns.
  • Add guild stations where you’ll receive game goals and track your progress towards being accepted to the Guild of Captains. There’s a short storyline there.
  • Add the Pirate Base. It will be the final boss you’ll need to destroy to win the game.

Hope you’re having fun with your own games :)
