Well, it’s that time again. Another day, another weekend slaved away at making something that is slightly resemblant of a video game. If you haven’t seen my entry, check out “The Materialistic Shift” here.<\/a><\/p>\n

I originally was not going to participate in this LD, as this theme was one of the only themes I did not have an idea for. My friend shot me a text out of nowhere with a basic idea that eventually evolved into my entry.<\/p>\n

I got on and immediately (as per tradition) built my level editor. (Just an aside; I build a new level editor every freakin LD. I should just build an end-all-be-all editor. Ugh.) I also set up collisions, so I ended up with a little moving character that bumps into blocks. Awesome.<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon I spent the day getting the different block filters to work<\/a>, so that your characters shape and colour did change which blocks you could go through. The original graphics were hideous <\/a>and I’m glad I changed them. I also spent a lot of time debugging collisions<\/a>\u00a0as some were raising events when they shouldnt’ve. Finally, I built a level or two for people to play.<\/p>\n

Sunday was spent graphically enhancing, adding audio, and building the last of the levels. Overall, I think it came out okay, and hopefully you do too. Check out the game and tell me what you think. \":)\"<\/p>\n
