Another day. I'm cranking out art waaaay slower than I thought. Here's a sample, at least.

Does this apply to you as well? It'd be nice if it did.

Let there be light!

Haven't removed the interaction points from them yet, so the guy in the corner is thoroughly enjoying a lamp.

Basically this, also theres a bunch of tutorials, I'm using http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=7155 for a few things.

Also I'm writing most of my code in C with some assembly, since uuuh I'm not going to even attempt to make a whole game in assembly even if it's very simple

Well, not pleased with my first attempt from a game mechanics perspective. Looking at starting over now.

Alternatively, anyone need a late-add level designer? I'm pretty experienced with algorithmic level generation in Unity games.

I'll turn off the looping jump after it stops making me laugh.

I have no idea what your game could possibly be about but I'm sure that it's far better than anything I could imagine.

Day 7: Added my enemy to the game, rigged up the projectile script to change direction based on who is shooting. Then I got gutsy and decided to try and add some movement real quick before going to bed.

Seems to be moving, good enough.

Hammer Bro.: Jul 7, 2007; THUNDERDOME LOSER

I know what's happening code-wise but in my mind's eye that guy just gets really angry.

Have him turn red if he changes directions too many times in a second.

Forer: Jan 18, 2010; "How do I get rid of these nasty roaches?!"

Easy, just burn your house down.

so I'm trying to maintain radio silence because I want people to be surprised by my game but I'm REALLY REALLY BAD AT IT.

I also just had my first what I consider bug from logic.

I forgot to make it so a coinblock turns empty after it spawns an item. The whole "triggered by another item hitting the coinblock" is intended.

now see if it didn't crash unity I might have left it as an option in the options menu.

I'm still going to just with a big asterisk "This will crash your game" next to it

Day 7:
Got the stack processing/crafting logic in! Now to make time move forward and make the doodads that allow the player to automate processes. ApproachingInfinity hard at work on saving/loading. We should have the basic game loop working this weekend.

day 7 progress: zen'd out organizing my code so it looks pretty and readable.

while i was at it, i got in camera movement so the field can now be traveled.

Just some tiny changes and you've got yourself a Space Harrier.

I'll try to post an update today if i have time.

I was using Haxe + OpenFl and ran into some performance issues w.r.t. physics. I understand box2d is quite fast but for some reason the Haxe port is slow

. There is a box2d alternative for Haxe called Nape but the debug draw sometimes crash when objects are out of bound so I didn't bother.

I switched to Unity now and boy do I love the 2D improvements. I've got moving and shooting working and I've started to program the path finder.

I love the creepy eyeball flower thing.

Also how did the GoonCam overlay get carried into the capture? :psyboom:

Man, some of these are looking nuts. For instance, I thought the FCEUX thing was a joke :psyduck:

I don't know if it'll be useful to anyone, but I recently ran into a neat little interactive demo that explains the A* pathfinding/graph search algorithm and a few other interactive tutorials.

Day 8: Not much graphically to show, but I laid out more design information on various projectile interactions and types. Tomorrow I plan to get the basics up and running with a single projectile.

i forgot to post this earlier. unity's event delegate UI makes offloading a lot of the boring wiring together parts easy and you get to focus on making smaller things that can be combined in new ways. the same goes for animation states.

Day 8:

The combined efforts of me and megane have yielded beautiful menu-y fruit:

I did a lot of nuts and bolts stuff on the backend too, including hooking up different machines so you can have an automated assembly line. When advancing time manually it works great! ApproachingInfinity is working on the saving/loading and time processing element, and I think tomorrow we may have the basic game up and running!

Hammer Bro.: Jul 7, 2007; THUNDERDOME LOSER

Spent all morning trying to come up with a directed acyclic graph relating a hodgepodge of tacked-on ship components to their apparent path back to the ship. Got it to work most of the time, but eventually an island would be created and muck everything up.

Spent about 20 minutes replacing all of that with a Monte Carlo simulation. Now when a component disappears, its orphans pull in in an intuitive manner 99% of the time.

Remember kids, it's a game jam: Good Enough is good enough!
