I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished very much today… so I’m going to take the time to list what I’ve done. Maybe that will remind me.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Finished the zoom feature (in and out via mouse wheel)<\/li>\n
  2. Added HUD<\/li>\n
  3. Added health \/ health bar<\/li>\n
  4. Added health regeneration via pickups<\/li>\n
  5. Added 5 additional inventory items along with HUD\/counters<\/li>\n
  6. Added important set piece<\/li>\n
  7. Created Day\/Night system (10 RL minutes = 24 hrs in game)<\/li>\n
  8. Created dynamic lighting for night<\/li>\n
  9. Constructed particle system<\/li>\n
  10. Changed tree \/ rock sprites to be more cohesive with the rest of the tiles \/ objects<\/li>\n
  11. Converted resource-hogging objects to static tiles<\/li>\n
  12. Tweaked player collision system<\/li>\n
  13. Adjusted layering system<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    I still have a LONG way to go if I’m going to implement all of the features on my design doc… especially if I’m going to make time for music\/sfx… which is a MUST, imo. So here’s what I have left to do on the design doc…<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Create at LEAST 12 more inventory objects (code + sprite + counters + player variables)<\/li>\n
    2. Create stamina system<\/li>\n
    3. Create tool system (hammer, axe, fishing pole, etc)<\/li>\n
    4. Create crafting system<\/li>\n
    5. \u00a0Create randomly respawning resources for DAY+1 events<\/li>\n
    6. Create title screen<\/li>\n
    7. Create death\/lose scenario<\/li>\n
    8. Create winning scenario<\/li>\n
    9. Draw a very crucial set piece<\/li>\n
    10. Create SFX \/ Music<\/li>\n
    11. Tie it all together with a story sequence?<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

      Yeah… that ain’t happenin’. I need to find out what features to cut and FAST. Tomorrow needs to be an incredibly productive day if I’m actually going to pull this off. I’ve never really ‘finished’ a Ludum Dare before… all of my games end up as tech demos or incomplete nothingness with no end \/ purpose. I want this to be different.<\/p>\n

      I will leave you with the latest screenshot from my game, AB-ALONE<\/em><\/p>\n
