Busy few days
…been moonlighting doing a favour for someone for the past couple of days, can’t say *what* it is but its the first time I’ve really made a game to order. Anyway, some folks will get a copy of it soon enough and whilst simple, I hope its enjoyable.
I probably put more effort into it than I really should have, but y’know - gotta put stuff out you’re reasonably proud to have your name on even if it is only a short little remake which in all likelihood won’t be seen by too many people.
Anyway, chill out for the rest of the night now thats wrapped up then back on with the Arsecast Host baiting G-Force.
Phew
Finally crushed a few annoying bugs and glitches that were getting on my tits with G-Force, one of those moments where stepping back for a day or so and coming back to it afresh means that you spot what you’ve done within seconds.
So, with a little help from RR forumite Blowhole (who’s working on a rather nice-so-far Kikstart II remake) managed to crush the spikers problem whereby they didn’t behave right at all, a bit of a sideways fix - but it works, and the spikes work, so all good there…and also managed to fix the flippers not negotiating the bottom of the web correctly. Again, a really simple fix but somehow I’d managed to miss where I’d fucked the code up. Sometimes my thickness at times astounds even me.
Back on track then and adding a few effects before its ready to be unleashed. Working on the level complete segment right now with the web exploding behind you and your ship zooming off the screen. Simple stuff, but effective and nothing too OTT this time round. We also have exploding scores…just because,k.
Nearly there, then. Next up, design some Marquee art for the sides of the screen - so back to the fun times.
Anyway, even though it looks shit static, here’s a picture of the between level zoomy segment (technical term)
Arsecast #3
Where doubtlessly, I find myself on the end of The Arsecast Hosts bile…which is ace.
Downloading it myself now, so in the meantime - go and grab your arses here and enjoy.
Wahey
First full level in and working. Quite chuffed.
