I decide to break down and learn flash so I bought a book on it 3 days ago and started reading. \u00a0Figured this competition would be good motivation and testing ground. \u00a0So far I must say I’m impressed with how easy it is to get things done in the language and how easy it is to learn.<\/p>\n

For the game itself, I’m working on making a mini-rts style game with a focus on ‘sovereignty’ which gives you large bonuses while on your own turf. \u00a0So it turns it into a slowly advancing wall of doom! \u00a0Or something like that. \u00a0Tomorrow is all about polish. \u00a0Better (any) graphics. \u00a0Intro screens, help screens, visible win conditions, useful HUD. \u00a0Balance on gold in vs gold out and tactical management.<\/p>\n

Controls are simple right now. \u00a0Spacebar spawns a new warrior (currently a cow) and you can let them wander about or you can click on them and move them into the field of battle.<\/p>","time":"April 18th, 2009 10:30 pm","title":"End of Day 1"}
