With all the posts people have put up recently about their continued work on their entrys i thought i would take the time time talk a little about my own.

So I sat in front of my PC on Sunday the clock ticking down from 5 hours. I sat with my notes open, and a list of features before me.  My plan had been simple but unintended bouts of hibernation had stolen what little time I had, some things had to be cut, ignored and even avoided.  I still had general bug testing to do, a memory leak and a whole lot of sprites half finished.

I’m not saying what I entered is that different from what I intended just that it was a modified plan that would hopefully fit with in the time I had left.  I pondered the decisions over pizza.

Like many people on here I have decided to release a fully tuned version of my entry, now this wont be released for download till after LudumDare31 has completed its rotation,  I don’t feel right releasing a different version of a game already out there, when its being judged and played,  but hope that my vision and all the things i intended can be strengthened or adjusted by the feedback i receive from you lovely people.  So here is a slight Change-log to what you can expect next year.

• Features unlocked rather then simply present.
• Highest score displayed on “Start screen” (this was a major oversight I’m almost embarrassed i didn’t put it in the entry)
• Extra fire-modes for the player to thrash around with.
• A more tuned enemy generator.  (The current works, but is designed to stagger difficulty, most people only manage to get around 30 points, the first difficulty step up is after 45).
• I plan to look at controls, as well as offer a game-pad support
• Working on a Android version.
• Much more.

The game will be as jump in and play as it is now, just with a more Directive nudge in terms of what you can do.   I entered this compo on a whim, a fresh faced dreamer, and i’m glad i did, to all who have played my game and enjoyed it, you have my thanks.
