The day before:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The competition have started I was sure that the theme would be evolution, I went to sleep early with a mind full of ideas about the theme, but when I woke up, which was at 6:00 at the morning a surprise striked me ~\u00a0oh boy!\u00a0its “THE TOWER” >_<<\/p>\n

So, it began:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love tower defence games so I have decided to make a tower defence game about a very unique\u00a0character,\u00a0Akin, which is a character I made, he came to me in a very strange dream including nika nad well what ever… >_< I made a stuffed doll out of him which you can see in the game and in my journal early photos \ud83d\ude00 I made a doll out of him because everyone said that its not possible… weaklings… anyway his a cool character and he was fiting the game – bringin it abit of originality.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I was thinking about\u00a0using him in the game\u00a0while taking photos of my work space hhh\u00a0\":)\" probably because he took over my keyboard \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

First thing I’v done was to draw the enemy… then a test map, after doing that I wanted to start abit coding, a problem apeared,\u00a0Fenix using Bennu (game compiler) didnt want to show me graphics no matter what >_< I strugled with it for an hour and in the end I managed to solve the problem by deleting everything @_@, then I started coding… coding and drawing arrows and then Akin him self and the mouse pointer and in this day I’v managed to make great progress \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

In order to stay alive and awake I was drinking energy drinks and listening to 1576 heavy trance music… and yep it helped alot! I had to sit and eat with the family and lose another hour and I had to drink some vodka too \ud83d\ude1b well that wasnt a problem hhhh any way…<\/p>\n

First day was great!<\/p>\n

final day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Was in\u00a0panic to finish the game… time is short and I have much to draw and code… I’v drew a new background and fixed many isuues with the shooting and the bounchinf fireballs and added 2 more enemys that I was thinking about yesterday…<\/p>\n

now grandparents came and again the\u00a0family sits togever and eats… again drinking vodka while on energy drinks XD ahhhh… what was I\u00a0 thinking… I was coding from tierdness >_<, firmly and\u00a0realy fast I’v took a photo of my self with my two trusted axes and photoshoped it… and realy fast put it in the game… damn! my levels aren’t implimented! :O okay… realy realy fast I’v managed to write a spawn algorithm and had to disable a super attack >_< because I had no time to code it… baaa… I didnt have time even to put sounds which I had allready recorded with the music >_<<\/p>\n

oh well… the panic was worth it… I was so dead tierd I had to go to sleep… and I was so willing to sleep that I couldnt fell a sleep >_<<\/p>\n

11 min left<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could berly upload the game in time thanks to Ghotistix that helped me upload it \ud83d\ude1b he came just in time hearing my prays for help XD then in 3-5 min I had a post with a screenshot taken realy fast and some text that was writen so fast that It still has mistakes XD oh well\u00a0hhhh<\/p>\n
