And whats the first thing that happens?? A power blackout. Yep. Awesome. Thankfully (as of writing this post) it seems to be back, my battery got me though it, with a couple of hours to spare.<\/p>\n <p>Funny thing is (or rage inducing if your in my shoes) &#8211; this is the 2nd power blackout during this LD so far! Its unbelieveable. No blackouts all year.. then as soon as the LD weekend comes along &#8211; two nights in a row. Last night was the worst however &#8211; from 1am to 8am. Thankfully I took the time for a snooze.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Either way, Ive made some progress, but today was a pain, fraught with programming dramas and reoccurring issues with certain bits of code. Thankfully I managed to code a couple of bits a lot quicker than expected. Making a function to allow the player to get back up after falling took no time at all, and jumping\/running was super easy.<\/p>\n <p>Im yet to start the proper level design though, having only just implemented most of the features needed. Still to be done is the 3 main sections of the game + the intro &amp; sfx. Its going to be crazy towards the end. And I still need to sleep at some point&#8230;.<\/p>\n <p>Heres the potential title screen I just came up with, its a screenshot taken with game assets, and Ive applied an oil-canvas filter to it, to get a bit of a cartoon\/painted look. Ill do a few more like this, for the intro sequence if I have the time. &#8211;<\/p>\n <p>Feedback and comments at this point would be great!<\/p>\n <div style=\"width: 545px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"   \" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yy3Sh.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"276\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">WIP title screen?<\/p><\/div>\n <p>Also:<\/p>\n <div style=\"width: 586px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/tHUtY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"294\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glowing crystal!<\/p><\/div>","time":"April 22nd, 2012 7:32 am","title":"~11 hours Remain \u2013 Darkness Creeping"}
