Dinner was great:

And after, well, I started by drawing some imps, but the end result was that they looked more like hell-rabbits than imps, so I decided to change the story…

They have a particle system to be more hellish…

Anyway, they already wander around (they don’t give chase yet), and all is script driven (which is quite nice)…

Anyway, I’m calling it for today… 24 hours still to go, and I have most of the actual game to make (including the object management, etc). Anyway, I should be able to finish this one, at least enough for the compo…

Task list:

• Framework working
• Loading a level data (from a DDS image)
• Rendering the level (3d generated from the level data)
• Drawing the character
• Rendering character
• Design levels/items so I know what to implement
• Spawn points
• Bind spawn points to scripting events
• Draw “old man” and do speech system (seems like a polish thing, but it’s kind of important…)
• Give and take objects to the player (through scripting)
• Spawn creatures and give them rudimentary AI (also through scripts)
• Draw and animate imps
• Wand of Unsummoning
• ….

soundtrack attached to the scene,

There be strange red towers on that there island…

I wonder if there be a link to that there red lightning that destroyed our ship lad…

It may be dangerous to go alone!

What be that thing on the rock…

Hmm could just be just the thing to get our own back, me thinks!

Maybe if I were to pick it up and press leftly thus it would be thrown and thence thrown if I were to press again would return such are the ways of enchanted things.

They be no use for carpentry though…

Red Tower Island

That’s it for day one, sleep needed!

Viewable here. Man I spent a lot of time on IRC…

Added some smoke effects for my downed pilots, and their parachutes:

no big change between this image and the last one

enemies implemented with a box hunting other boxes and a box dropping smaller boxes. about an hour ago i hoped that drawn better graphics would raise my coding spirits, but after inserting them (see the mailboxes), it actually looks very ugly.

not really what i would call great

1am over here, so i’ll stop coding and grab some sleep. I don’t want to mess up the sight algorithm.
Tomorrow’s objectives include :
*Sight
*Item implementing and interactions
*Mob implementing and interactions
*Random starting set, with a guy saying “It’s dangerous to go alone ! Take this , this and this !” Of course, some of the items can be completely ludicrous, forcing the player to count on his wits to earn points (or those items could give extra points).
*Point system, not shown during game but only at the end. Different actions give different amount of points…
*So obviously, a losing screen

Still quite a lot to do, but I think it’s possible ! Anyway, HUD is implemented as is a text system. I can “feed” the message system and the player will read through the messages with the spacebar as they came. This will be useful for fights.

You can try out a demo here : https://rapidshare.com/files/460001144/BUILD1.swf

And a little screenie just beneath.

Good night and good luck to all !

Hud in game

Oh, yeah… screenshots.

Yay for color-blind friendly game

Yay for no bugs! \o/

I know it doesn’t look much different than my previous screen, but the engine has been improved a lot! Tomorrow i will implement entities, collision, and… well, gameplay!

Done a bunch of art on my craptop which I’ll incorporate into the game tomorrow. Made some music too.

Yayy

Have a screenshot as I celebrate whilst watching Alien!

Is that a...sock on his hand?

Here’s what my game looks like so far:

I’ve spent too long on the graphics and not enough getting the actual gameplay to a point where I can find out if it’ll be fun, but I am at least happy with how it looks.

The idea is a puzzle-exploration game with completely unique enemies that you certainly won’t recognise from any other game.

We just sad down and discussed some game concepts, and we all agreed with making a zelda styled game. We are 3 people. 2 Graphic designers and 1 programmer (me) :). Here’s an EARLY screenshot of the attack collision :).

Anyways, back to work!

I have decided to name my almost functional game “another rainy day” because it has a dark feel to it but is also relating to the rain, which will play a key part in the games atmosphere.

Flashlights now ready, ghosts can be scared (minimum 2 hits) and even banished (4 hits) with them, ghosts do non harm yet and there is no target, but that’s next, graphics, audio and leveldesign are also pending. Messing around with those ghosts can be quite funny.

you can play the current version here

Here’s the trusty sidekick that my main character will have to walk around during the game.

I’ve added the protagonist .. the harmless cabin dwellers!

I also decided that my photos of the physical can of Blob Repellent weren’t awesome enough, so I CGed the label on so it looks shinier. Next up – making some real gameplay .. Once I’m happy with that it’ll be time to wrap things up with some good ol’ fashioned polish (music, sfx, menus!)

This is the only thing we’ve eaten today:

At least it’s starting to look like a game now.

I doubt I will finish it, but I’ll do my best!

Although my main theme is ascending a mountain, I’m starting out with some underground sections.

Here, our hero has found the first of his brothers and gets his first powerup.
