I’ve got my idea all set, and now I’m coding.

The title of the game is “Desolate” and it is what would be called a “platform hell” or “masocore platformer” sort of game.

The idea is that it is incredibly difficulty to beat, even more so than most hard games. Think of I Wanna be the Guy or Super Meat Boy. That kind of difficulty.

I don’t have much of anything yet. I have a rectangle container that can do collision checks and some simple collision response, a game state container and a game world that can update and draw themselves, and a running update loop.

I’m using HTML5 and JavaScript, so it will be a web game. It won’t require a plugin, but it will require an up-to-date browser. If you’ve got FireFox or Chrome, you’re probably fine. If you’ve got Internet Explorer (why the #$@% would you, by  the way?) you’ll need version 9 for this game to work.

I don’t have much of anything to show for my work yet, though. Stay tuned for more!

Peace, love, and web scripting,

PS: I’ve taken McFunkypants’ kitten challenge, but because of the way this game will work it’ll be very hard to get to the kitten. Expect it to be heart-warming. That is all.)
