THE DISCOVERY WAS SPIDERS
So I ended up trying for something too large to complete in a sleep deprived final 10 hours. About an hour and a half before the end, I decided to go by the old mantra “Time running low .’. branch the project and add spiders”. A frantic hour followed, accompanied by a great boss music medley from nicovideo, and I got something submitted, albeit without any win condition/loose condition/much point. But dayum, it freaks me out some it does.

It at least shows what I was going for with the shadow system, and how it performs under pressure.
Also, for fun and to make the timelapse more interesting, I had a big image in GraphicsGale I was adding to a bit to show some of my thoughts and add a little commentary. That’s after the jump if anyone is interested (and can see this post through the deluge of submission posts 😉 ). I think this kind of thing would have been a bit more use if I had a drawing tablet with me, instead of just mousing.
