the game’s calle d”Enslaving Davement”. more on that. github has readme and my notes which explain things, but I think i’m going to type an explanation after this is all over, so straight to how it’s going…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the skeleton of the game is implemented, more or less. there are sort of 4 states to the game:<\/p>\n
Day, Night, Ending, Cutscenes.<\/p>\n
The states, of course, are visited multiple times (except the tentative ending). In the day, you collect musical notes…for a certain purpose…while also trying to keep your impending feeling of doom and anxiety from growing….<\/p>\n
Then, at night, you visit members of the band Davement’s house. You must try to keep your anxiety low, make your way to the person, and…<\/p>\n
If time allows there will be cutscenes (read: plain text and pictures, nothing fancy) between stages or at least the intro\/ending. I’m hoping the ending will take into account performance on each of the stages, and produce snarky commentary based on how you did.<\/p>\n
Right, so:<\/p>\n
framework: More or less there- transitioning, making sure crap carries over, handling deaths. nothing pretty, just the logic.<\/p>\n
level design: HA.<\/p>\n
graphics: crappy placeholders.<\/p>\n
music\/sfx: nope.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The next few hours I plan to try and polish up the flow of the gameplay’s skeleton – after the most worrisome part (the programming) for me is done, I can focus on the (relatively) easier creative aspects, which will fill things in.<\/p>\n
