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.<\/p>\n <p>I didn&#8217;t done any game art so far, decided to focus on the mechanics first. At this point the game looks like this:<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/08\/25\/evoprobe-progress-report-after-5-hours\/screenshot1-110\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-163277\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-163277\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/screenshot11-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>Not very impressive <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> I think that the most challenging part for me is to make art, and especially sounds &amp; music. I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n <p>Next steps for today:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Planet map<\/li>\n <li>Save game progress to local storage in browser<\/li>\n <li>Write storyline<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>I&#8217;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.<\/p>","time":"August 25th, 2012 4:19 am","title":"EvoProbe: Progress Report (after 5 hours)"}
