Yes yes yes! I have a game that is actually finished and finishable \":)\" I am trying to relate it to not being drunk the entire weekend, but it\u2019s probably just a coincidence.<\/p>\n

So where\u2019s my checklist\u2026\n1. Prepare a framework for rapid level creation<\/strong> \u2013 check!<\/em> \u2013 Entire first day I designated to creating a framework so that I could create levels like mad on Sunday. I managed to do it, and level creation was done 90% using GraphicsGale. All the gags are animated frame-by-frame, and items are loaded from a color-keyed map.<\/p>\n

Example of gag animation\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Example of item map:\n\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Create levels like mad<\/strong> \u2013 yup!<\/em> \u2013 I was making levels the entire Sunday, I wanted to have 16, then 8, but I end up with 6. Good enough! Anyways my plan was to have a ready game on the first day, so that i will just do as many levels as possible.<\/p>\n

3. Have witty puzzles<\/strong> \u2013 dud!<\/em> \u2013 Well\u2026 my brain wasn\u2019t really prepared for that, and I can truly say that I blessed McPixel with a secret mission to facepalm the player to death.<\/p>\n

4. Cool website<\/strong> \u2013 weee!<\/em> \u2013 HTML 3.0 + CSS is just awesome!<\/p>\n

Try it! and let me know what do you think!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n
