6 hours of development so far and progress continues on my game… thought I’d post a few early screenshots. I’m working to get the first playable level done so I can continue messing with making the mechanics fun. Doing bare minimum art as the lumpy bats will testify to:
Stalactites, Geysers, and Bats now spawn. The bats have a funny animation right now which I think will make them enjoyable to watch flap around as you try to eliminate them.
Rough working main menu too.
Well, I’m stalling out on productivity right now because I am starving. I have a chicken pot pie in the oven cooking but it won’t be ready for another 30 minutes so I’m powering on best I can.
I’m really trying to focus on getting the earlier playable and fun parts of this game coded. Building out primitive menu systems and game framework logic so that I won’t have to mess with it later. I have implemented the timing bar, level counters, and scoring widgets. My hope is that once I get the basic ‘level format’ working I can do 5 rough levels with very basic art today. Then tomorrow can be spent on improving the art and adding music and sound.
