6 hours of development so far and progress continues on my game…\u00a0 thought I’d post a few early screenshots.\u00a0 I’m working to get the first playable level done so I can continue messing with making the mechanics fun.\u00a0 Doing bare minimum art as the lumpy bats will testify to:<\/p>\n

\"early-screenshot\"<\/p>\n

Stalactites, Geysers, and Bats now spawn.\u00a0 The bats have a funny animation right now which I think will make them enjoyable to watch flap around as you try to eliminate them.<\/p>\n

\"early-menu\"<\/p>\n

Rough working main menu too.<\/p>\n

Well, I’m stalling out on productivity right now because I am starving.\u00a0 I have a chicken pot pie in the oven cooking but it won’t be ready for another 30 minutes so I’m powering on best I can.<\/p>\n

I’m really trying to focus on getting the earlier playable and fun parts of this game coded.\u00a0 Building out primitive menu systems and game framework logic so that I won’t have to mess with it later.\u00a0 I have implemented the timing bar, level counters, and scoring widgets.\u00a0 My hope is that once I get the basic ‘level format’ working I can do 5 rough levels with very basic art today.\u00a0 Then tomorrow can be spent on improving the art and adding music and sound.<\/p>\n \n
