Shooty stuff, and enemy groupings in queue.
I think I may be abusing flash's glow filter
You can play what I have so far if you want, though it’s still really rough. Both units autoshoot and turn towards the mouse.
I’m rethinking Starrior.
I… I dunno. It just doesn’t seem that interesting. I’m kind of lost now.
I wish I had *good* news to post. I don’t, though.
I’ll still (hopefully) turn something in, but it probably won’t be Starrior.
Finally animated all the sprites…
Still so much to do.. I don’t see how I’ll meet this deadline but I’ll try!
Gosh, I’m reeeeaaaalllyyyy tired ¦D… Nearly 4am…
Anyway, meet the main character, Reddy ;w;
It’s coming along.
Gonna write a ship AI so I can actually play it.
I’ve not gone to bed yet because there are drunken people outside shouting. So here are some enqueued food pics from today.
Afternoon tea and pain au chocolat:
Dinner:
All from CB2 and thoroughly delicious, too.
As an aside for the one or two C64 fans I know are participating, here’s something cool I received in the post today:
Looking forward to playing that after the compo, although I’ll try to give the compo games priority! 
It’s quiet outside now. Nighty night.
I’ve gotten http://code.google.com/p/physics2d working with my code, and bullets flying around. Now collisions.

I had some fig bars as a snack as the evening wore on.
My fantastic and amazing girlfriend made me a taco dinner, which was so delicious that my taste buds were fist-bumping each other.
I went to a party my friends were hosting so I could take a short break and get some much-needed social time, but I came back home shortly.
Looking at The Big (Cork) Board, I can see that I’m almost done with the first iteration of work.
Unfortunately, I still have 6 more big iterations to do, and a lot of it is doing AI path-finding and other AI things I’ve never done before.
And the deadline is looming.
I’m feeling pretty screwed.
Wait a minute. I think I have some Red Bull shots in my fridge…
I don’t drink caffeine usually, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Let’s roll.
I’m finishing this son of a bitch if it kills me! >:S
I’ve spent the first 25.4 hours of LD48 making it so I can do a parody of the Sega Master System bootup screen. Hooray! Now it’s time to actually make a game.
Code is GPLv3, too. Like dev shot 002, as well, I forgot to state.

and I’ve got something playable. We’ll see how it shaped up in the next day…

for about an hour
Gues what i need to do? HOME-FREAKING-WORK!
at least it’s science, it aint too bad
Well, I managed to have time during the chaos to make a little roast:
My game, however, is still pretty half-cooked. Here’s what it looks like at the moment:
Those guys stuck in the box at the top are just stuck there because they spawned there. They’re not really supposed to be there.
Anyways, I barely have any gameplay, my movement suck, and the graphics are all tmp. Making a platformer is harder than I thought.
I forgot that my internet has been going down for eight hours a day in the evenings this week for some reason. Normally I’d kinda like that because usually no internet means more productivity, but since I have no idea what I am doing in Unity or with 3D modeling or any of this it’s kind of affecting my schedule. Still, got my basics set up and some atmosphere happening.
Just ate this.
