Theme: Alternate universe spinoff of a major franchise

Heh, well the “major franchise” part is a stretch, but franchise yes. ;). The universe is one without color.

Limitations: Framerate cap at 5fps

No problem. I have a platform in mind where that’s actually impossible.

Rule: Use a tool/language you have never used before

Well technically I have used Java before (J2ME), but that was 7 years ago, and I hated every minute of it. This is Java PBP 1.1, and while I’m not quite hating every minute of it, I am clumsy and moving dog-slow (like anyone using a new language would be).

So what did I do?

Yarg, my shadow looms!

Fully lit game board. I win!

Coming to an Amazon near you.

…

(after I make menus, get all the different tilesets in, and test it on some obscure Kindle kin, but yeah, that’s totally soon’ish)

See you guys at GDC!
