I know menus aren&#8217;t that exciting, but in the context of a finished game its great. I now have 3 levels with one boss encounter.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>This represents the first mission of the game. As it stands now, I can release this game on Kongregate, and maybe my own web page. My plan for next week is as follows:<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>1) Post Demo to Kongregate<\/p>\n <p>2) Finish enemy layout of rail yard level<\/p>\n <p>3) Complete a second simple boss<\/p>\n <p>4)create briefing screens for mission 2<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>It&#8217;s close. And I&#8217;m tempted to do more, but in the spirit of finishing, I will FINISH the project. This is the push I need to put this baby to bed. (For good, for now at least)<\/p>\n <p><strong>SCREEEEEENZ!<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>It&#8217;s amazing how something as simple as a main game screen can make your game look more complete.<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Oct-new-main-menu.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-297813\" alt=\"Oct-new main menu\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Oct-new-main-menu-300x228.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Oct-new-main-menu-300x228.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Oct-new-main-menu-550x418.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Oct-new-main-menu.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Level-2-Turret-8-25.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-297814\" alt=\"Level 2 Turret-8-25\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Level-2-Turret-8-25-300x243.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Level-2-Turret-8-25-300x243.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Level-2-Turret-8-25.jpg 546w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"October 3rd, 2013 10:29 pm","title":"October Challenge Day 3"}
