Polish Time

This weekend I shall start polishing my compo entry, Viral. I’ve been closely watching the comments/suggestions on my entry page and my post-mortem and add in most of the suggested items from that list.

The List

  • Moving from Flash CS4 to FlashDevelop IDE – As suggested in my post-mortem
  • Massive code clean – Way under commented, over copy-pasted, too much last-minute-hacking-please-let-me-make-the-deadline
  • Bug fixes from my known bugs list on the entry page
  • Art pass – Make everything look less programmer-art and more spiffy
  • Sound pass – The music works, but a two bar loop is just silly
  • A win condition – Not entirely sure what this will end up being quite yet
  • More levels – Possibly a random level generator
  • One more ability for the player
  • Balance pass – Make the abilities that don’t work well, work better

I think that is it. I estimate this will take more than a weekend to complete, unless I want to put myself under the strain of another compo again so soon.
