So I have been hard at work today, slaving away on my galagalike.\u00a0 Its soon going to be time for me to call it a night, which makes this a good time to post an update.<\/p>\n

This is my 4th ludum dare, and its shaping up to be one of my favourite so far.\u00a0 I have learned from previous jams that my weakness is that I tend to leave the\ngame mechanics to last, so I force myself to implement them first, and then tackle art in the second day.\u00a0 Hopefully that will explain the \u2018boxes\u2019 visible in my work in\nprogress video below.<\/p>\n

Tommorow I plan to implementing sound, bosses, more powerups and most importantly pixel art and procedural enemy designs.\u00a0 Lets see how that gets on\u2026<\/p>\n

For those wondering, the connection to \u2018Ancient Technology\u2019 is a thin idea that your trying to fight yourway threw an alien hord, trying to reach\u2026 the \u2018beacon\u2019\u2026\nan ancient device who long ago push the scurge back from whence they came.<\/p>\n
