I should have done an update last night, but I didn’t really have much to say.\u00a0 I don’t really have much more to say now, but I wanted to post something before it got too late.<\/p>\n

Islands is the theme, and it’s not too bad.\u00a0 I could have restarted last compo’s game, Exploration, since my idea for that was island based, but I decided to go in a different direction. My entry for Islands is going to be a puzzle game where you walk around different islands in order to get to the goal, avoiding traps and other dangers. Here’s a screenshot.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a>

First screenshot. Simple tiles, simple graphics.<\/p><\/div>\n

Basically I just used Photoshop to create simple tiles.\u00a0 I have some art sketched out, but it needs to be scanned and colorized. I’ll do that later, but for now I need to work on the actual gameplay.\u00a0 So far, the smily can move around and the tiles each have bounds that will stop the player, but that’s it.\u00a0 I also recorded a little bit of sound effects, but those haven’t been moved over from the Mac yet, and either way, there aren’t many game actions to tie them to yet.<\/p>\n

Next up is to work on the movement. Right now, it’s dependant on KeyDown presses, which are limited by keyboard delay. I’m going to implement KeyDown\/KeyReleased pairs to change this.<\/p>\n \n
