So far so good, I’ve done the core game mechanics. Cells are now possible to place on the planet, they do match together when 3 cells of the same type are placed nearby, turns are being counted, and the score is updated everytime you match a set of cells.

I didn’t done any game art so far, decided to focus on the mechanics first. At this point the game looks like this:

Not very impressive I think that the most challenging part for me is to make art, and especially sounds & music. I’m going to dedicade the whole day tomorrow for this. Before I start with art I need to add all the parts of the game I consider required so I need what elements I do need to place to the screens.

Next steps for today:

• Planet map
• Save game progress to local storage in browser
• Write storyline

I’m logging all the progress with Toggl to be able to track total time spent on the different parts. I spent 5 hours so far, including time to write all progress reports.
