Hmm, I don’t know if these progress posts are a requirement or not, but hey!<\/p>\n

Eheh, all the ideas I could come up with that fit the theme involve AI of some sort… which I’ve never really worked with before! I don’t think I’ll be able to finish my game on time, but the dare did push me to learn a bit about AI, which is nice! If I feel motivated enough by the time the dare deadline rolls in, maybe I could try and finish it up for the Jam instead, who knows.<\/p>\n

Hahah, so the basic idea is that you, the player, set up a dungeon and place the princess at one end of the dungeon. You then fill the dungeon up with deathtraps and stuff. The computer then generates a bunch of heroes with random attributes (such as HP, speed and jump), and then based on the valiant efforts of the last batch of heroes, generates a new and improved batch of evolved<\/em> heroes! You would want to save the princess before 24 days are up, but make the dungeon hard enough that the winning hero has the highest stats possible.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a very crude AI and evolution system going on: now it’s time to try and get the editor working, since that’s basically how the player would ‘play’ the game. Here’s a screenshot of what I have so far: if there’s time, I would also want random physical attributes like hair\/shirt\/skin color to ‘evolve’ on the heroes as well. ^_^ Lol, I still haven’t touched sound design yet, which I’m pretty weak at. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
