I&#8217;ve decided to release this game, with a few levels on Kongregate. I originally aimed for PC\/iPad etc. It&#8217;s probably better to focus on one area for now. Kongregate is the easiest, and requires the least amount of tweaking to get this to a polish state. Hopefully I can get enough people to play the game to equal a dollar.<\/p>\n <p>New Boss: I&#8217;ve been creating a second boss for the rail yard area of the game.<\/p>\n <p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-prn2\/1385006_486241701474577_944685769_n.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n <p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-prn2\/1381892_486241734807907_640911814_n.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n <p>New Enemies: I&#8217;ve added a second air enemy to the rail yard area. The Mig 27 fires two bullets, and features a new zig zag pattern.<\/p>\n <p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-frc3\/1381736_486242401474507_649484476_n.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n <p>I also added a turret that shoots missiles that follow the player.<\/p>\n <p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-ash4\/1379330_486243784807702_1928987607_n.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n <p>Screens: I continue to play with the UI component of the game. I added a mission briefing screen before the start of each new mission. This gave the game a more complete feel.<\/p>\n <p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-prn2\/p480x480\/1384017_486244938140920_1274032741_n.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>","time":"October 8th, 2013 10:59 pm","title":"October Challenge Day 9"}
