I would like to add some more interesting graphics in the background so it will feel more like exploring. Not sure if I will have time for that though. I still have to draw all of my little Spawn critters. I think having a nice variety of those will make it more fun to swim around and see what you can create.<\/p>\n <p>I\u2019m also thinking about auto-saving progress to a cookie, so whenever you come back to the game you pick up where you left off. Then you are more likely to get to see all the variety of creatures.<\/p>","time":"December 17th, 2011 10:01 pm","title":"\u2018Spawn\u2019 Day 2 Progress"}
