ALONE. this is an intresting theme, so far i am creating a space game, concept is that your spaceship has took major damage and you need to find parts to repair, you wake up on a moon, and their is an abandoned colony. here is a screenshot of progress.
that project i said i had progress in a while ago, ya, i abandoned it. but i’m glad. This new project i’m working on is going well. i also like the graphics and name. the name is “IN THE DARK” hopefully this one will succeed. On a side note, i’m loving some of the other games people are showing, will get pictures up of this when i can. Goodnight.
last post i said that i would post something about the game development, here are some screenshots of the game in action.
By the way, the game (except the lighting overlay) is all in 3 colors!
I’m panicking, running out of ideas. i’m going to take a break and brainstorm, i really don’t want to exit like so many already have.
also: large amount of dirty cups sitting in my bedroom
I now have more ideas and have added a basic spotlight to hide from. heres what i’ve got so far:dl.dropbox.com/u/27031094/Pixel Phased.html i will ad more obvious ways to get to the ship later. go down untill you get to the skeleton, go left and down a bit. thats pretty much it for now.
gave up because i’m terrible at level design. hopefully this next idea i’m developing won’t fail, 20 hours left.
As mentioned before, i started a new game, for the second time. here is a google docs about it. right now i have all the mechanics except different zombies(easy to do), Shop(med-level), graphics, and power-ups. i’m saving the graphics for last so i don’t do them for nothing if this doesn’t work out (it should though).
have this Delicious picture:
Also, my kitten has been sleeping on my pillow the entire day. Her name is Pandora.
I finally finished the game, after my third attempt. This one only took me about 10 hours but i feel really great about it! Here is the Entry page. Now i can relax and look through other games.
here’s the timelapse for Zombie Street. heres the page for it:
here is my doodle for next week. drew it in Paint.net. i already have a basic concept for the game.
So i have a basic start to my game. the goal is to get to the waving flag. by clicking on the empty non red boxes they get filled. The brown boxes fall through these and not the empty ones. The Red boxes are always empty and never change. Also, don’t get caught under a brown box while its falling otherwise you will have to restart the level. only one level is in right now, the second is just a template for me.
UPDATE
Added 4 new levels and a “key”. graphics are just place holders except the player (unless i get really bored then I’ll redesign)
Controls
W: Jump
A: Left
D: Right
Left Mouse: Fill box
Web Link(always newest demo!)
I finished the game. I could add more levels but my lack of good level designing prevents me. Check it out here, it’s played in the browser so you have no reason not to try it out!
So I’m entering it with a resolution of 18×64. so far i’m thinking of a game that involves chopping down a tree. Although i have almost no idea where I’ll go with it.
My second full LD. I’m surprised I didn’t come up with a blank like I expected to. This definitely wasn’t the theme I wanted, but I have an idea anyways. I’ll post progress reports, hopefully.
So I have the main component basically done, although my game focuses on “Story” if you could call it that. Heres a very obscure screen shot(Don’t worry, the font and sprites will be pretty)
I’ll also have an up to date demo up every time I’m done something , or sooner.
I added more to the “Tree”. Next I plan to write out the rest of it, or do the sprites for it, considering how hard it is to tell what they are. Well you can’t. New demo up!
After a while, for some reason, when you bought the first thing on the techtree, everything else disappeared. I have also encountered several other gamebreaking bugs. I will not quit! I’m just working on something else, sort of similar. I’ll post when I have more.
So, I made some progress. I’m going to take a break for now and mull it over. Heres a web demo for you, not much to do.
I stayed up till 4am listening to motivating music. It was worth it. Tomorrow I can relax and do the art. Anybody who wants can play it online here. They’ll have to suffer with he absolutely terrible art(if you could call it that). I’ll make everything pretty on Sunday.
