So, about an hour in I thought of a game idea that I’m satisfied with and that I\u00a0think<\/em> I can finish within the time limit. But, having never finished a game before, we’ll see how that goes.<\/p>\n

Here’s a screenshot of the basic engine. btw, I’m using Construct Classic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’re that little orange guy. You can move right and left and jump with Z. Blue orbs allow you to jump higher, and red orbs allow you to break stronger cracked blocks with X.<\/p>\n

The graphics are pretty placeholder-ish, but since I’m no good at graphics, I’m not sure how much of a change they will go through by the end.<\/p>\n

My next step is to think of ideas for a few more types of orbs. I’ll talk about the goal of the game, etc. in the next post.<\/p>\n

Edit: 12am, time to sleep. Hopefully I’ll dream up some cool ideas! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2012 11:51 pm","title":"Basic engine progress"}
