I started the new year off by getting back to my weekly gamedev streams. My original plan for this weekend was to work on my long term project, but I ran into issues even getting it to run, and rather than fight with that on stream, I pulled out my LD34 project, CentiSnake, and started adding some of the items that feedback had indicated would be good changes.<\/p>\n

I’m already very close to having the first of those new features added: Custom color controls, allowing gamers to pick the precise color they would prefer. All that remains for that feature is to get it to save the value between play sessions.<\/p>\n

I’m also going to add a volume slider, the ability to toggle the retro-CRT effect off, a help screen before new games start, and I’m going to clean up the sounds and graphics a bit more.<\/p>\n

I’m excited to see what my actual scores were, and how I ranked, especially since this was my first ever game jam, and only my second game project at all.<\/p>","time":"January 4th, 2016 12:28 pm","title":"Post-Dare Updates"}
