heres my first screen…..

please excuse my paint skills.

Its just a dodge-em-up at the min. You play as the leader of a flock of birds. You have to make it to the nesting site, and keep at least one other bird alive. There are eagles that dive at you, buildings to fly into and inexplicably small people in planes that throw spanners at you (cos the’re dicks).

Gonna add a load more stuff in as and when i think of it. Including kittens.

Well, i’m finished for today. Its gone quite well overall….

I was despairing a bit a few hours ago, it just wasn’t fun to play. So i took another approach, and went all narrativey. So theres scrolling text sections that kind of set the scene, and make it all have a bit more meaning.

I also put a couple of other ‘modes’ in – so theres a ‘peck your way out of the cage’ bit, then a ‘guide your flock to safety’ bit, then a boss fight, with some text inbetween.  I think it all ties in nicely with the ‘alone’ theme.

There’s a kitten too!

hiya- just a quick ‘i’m in’.

I’ll be using as3 flixel, most likely with some code from this : https://github.com/revilossor/oliFlixel which i’ve been playing about with for a bit.

Probably using Reaper( http://reaper.fm/ ) and Bfxr ( http://www.bfxr.net/ ) for sounds and paint.NET with a load of animation plugins for graphics.

Good luck, have fun, learn stuff.
