I started early this morning, and despite a few things looking a bit odd I’m on track to finish this game for the Compo. It’s a spaceship shoot-em-up game with a twist, I haven’t got to the point where I implement the twist yet but I think it’ll work really well. So far I’ve done 3 Waves, a dialogue system and all of the sound effects. Tomorrow I’m going to do Boss 1, the super special plot twist and the final boss, as well as music and the title screen. Unfortunately, there is no name yet.

Here’s how this ties into the alone theme:

Humans have discovered one other intelligent race in the universe, but a new recently elected (psycho) President (might change the title to something like dictator) doesn’t think very fondly of the aliens and wants to completely eradicate them, so humans can be alone in the universe again. This stems from the question, “Are we alone?”. The answer has become yes, but the President prefers it the other way (because he’s stark raving mad).

Here’s an incredibly detailed rough of Boss 1, if you’re interested. I’ll be livestreaming all though tomorrow, if anyone wants to watch… ;_;
