I’ve decided some things about how I’m going to go about LD19.<\/p>\n
First of all, I’m almost certainly making a platformer of some kind.<\/p>\n
I’m really hoping for something either violent or whimsical for the theme. (I admit, there aren’t that many that I like this time around…) That would, by the nature of my work, put me at an advantage. (I do a lot of cute, cartoony stuff that’s also rather violent)<\/p>\n
Regardless, my game will involve some kind of fighting. If I can contrive the theme into a weapon or attack, that’s probably what the player will have. Otherwise, it’ll probably show up in the level design or in the types of baddies.<\/p>\n
I’m going to shoot for just having a single level with a final boss and a “You win!” screen at the end. Everything beyond that is additional.<\/p>\n
I’m really happy to have switch to FlashPunk. There’s a bit of collision logic that I had to write myself, but it makes other sorts of collisions (One-way ledges, hidden areas that are revealed when you enter them, etc.) pretty easy to implement. (Something that I would not say about Flixel)<\/p>\n
That being said, my game will be a cute and cheerfully violent bit of simple fun. Hopefully.<\/p>\n
Peace<\/p>\n
