\"Horrible<\/a><\/p>\n

So I’ve finally finished what is technically my first day. I didn’t make any progress yesterday or the day before due to lacking an idea, but fortunately that changed last night and I was able to make a good amount of progress today.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to go with the Growing theme, and I’ve taken a lane-based war game and aim to throw a twist to it in that your troops can level up and grow more power so that when they reach the other side, they deal more damage to your opponent.<\/p>\n

So far I’ve managed to implement spawning units and units attacking each other. Leveling up is also technically implemented, but there’s nothing to indicate it yet as I’ve found it difficult to add any effects for it.<\/p>\n

I doubt I’m going to be able to do a lot of things – namely a main menu or music – but I’m hoping to at least finish the gameplay. Either way, I feel I’ve succeeded in attempting a smaller idea given how much of it I’ve already completed. Had I come up with this idea sooner, it probably would’ve been my most complete game yet.<\/p>\n

Oh, and side note: turns out drawing and animating swords is super fun. Swoosh!<\/p>\n
