MiniLD #32 is over for me. Although I did not made the number of games I expected to make (mostly because I procrastinated a lot this weekend \u2013 as usual), I am satisfied with the result. The first part of my completely devious game-developing adventure was to create a pack of 50 or so games, with a very retro aesthetic. And as it turned out, 50 games was a bit out of hand after putting my procrastination time on the equation, so I felt comfortable reducing the goal to a puny number of 12 games. This pack of games was titled Super Advanced Hyperst-uh\u2026 err it\u2019s the title you see above. Also known as 12-in-1 LC Collection.<\/p>\n

After creating those 12 little games, I decided to make something more complex. My first thought was to create a randomly-generated RPG final boss battle thing. I went as far as to create randomly named characters with randomly generated status, and a menu. And it was actually looking pretty good to be honest. Of course, the random name generator was a bit crazy, generating things like Gridobrezhiu, Equicrocro, Pigrashounen,\u00a0Her and other bizarre things. Aside from that, works quite nicely.<\/p>\n

Utekyasos is a perfectly common name... somewhere<\/p><\/div>\n

But once I got to code the enemy, I realized it would be way more complex and time-consuming than I thought. So instead I decided to go back and make a platformer instead. At first I had no clue what to create, so I just started drawing tiles, tying things together, coding collision and stuff. Then I had the idea to include a character from my previous game \u2013 Subject 0017 from Fate of Mankind<\/a>, to be more specific. Then I had the idea to make it more or less like a sequel. And then\u2026 well, just play it. If you liked Fate, you\u2019ll enjoy Tower of Mankind.<\/p>\n

Aaand weekend\u2019s over, time to rest and enjoy some games! Anyway, I\u2019m pretty happy with the results and had a lot of fun. You can check out both Tower of Mankind and the 12-in-1 LC Collection on my MiniLD #32 entry page<\/a>.<\/p>","time":"February 28th, 2012 3:26 pm","title":"A Winner is You, Pigrashounen and John is Back","title_was_empty":false}
