Well, it doesn’t feel like I’ve gotten a lot accomplished, but when I look at my todo list it seems to be getting checked off pretty well. I guess it’s just perception.<\/p>\n

I’ve implemented 3 out of the 5 weapon types, and partially implemented all 5 aliens that serve as various types of ammo. The levels transition, but there’s nothing to indicate you cleared the level and are proceeding to the next. No menu or game over screens either. I may drop one of the weapons to save time. Implementing the upgrades should be faster than weapons, so I’ll definitely try to squeeze that in. The graphics are crap, but I’m not an artist so I don’t really mind. Music and sound goes at the end, as usual, and may get cut if I run out of time.<\/p>\n

With a little cleanup I could submit it now, the gameplay is functional, it’s just not as polished and featureful as I’d prefer. Here’s hoping the next 24 hours will be productive!<\/p>\n

Home stretch! Lets finish this together!<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2010 7:07 pm","title":"Half way"}
