Some weeks ago I lost all enthusiasm to continue the game I started in September. Having a day job and being a parent takes most of the time so the progress was very slow.

Lucky me that I found a post about the LD October Challenge, that got me on my feet 😀

So here I come with my wannabe Top Down Arena shooter titled “Karmatron”

I got inspiration from Robotron 2084 and the late Ultratron, but I’m adding a small twist, there is a ‘core’ to protect from enemies.

There isn’t much done yet, but is starting to look like a game. Will be very abstract, since I’m not good with art, and later I will play with some palettes.

Here is a video of the status of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsUus1cbhlI&feature=youtu.be

Here is a video of me fixing some bugs yesterday (FF edition, no sound): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgmeA5ttB-4

Next task: Gathering energy for the core.

I’m doing it in Haxe/HaxeFlixel and targeting Flash so I can easily distribute it on any web page.

Hope on finishing it by the end of October.

Cheers!
