So this week I released Demolition Dan on Google play. If people end up buying it and want more levels I'll create more and patch them in.
I have the habit of getting demotivated near the end of projects that's why I went ahead and finished up Demolition Dan.
Things that could of gone better

These past couple of days have been focused around making sound effects for Demolition Dan, I've decided I would use non 8-bit sounds in this game. Also I've been working on making levels and it's shown to be fairly easy, I can design about 10 levels in an hour.

Things I've Learnt
Since Element Rush I've learnt a couple things and added it to my mental book of "What not to do when making games".
And one of the things that I noticed is, planning! planning! planning! It is such a integral part to making games, at least for me it is.
It helps me avoid several …

Hey guys, for the past two to three weeks I've been working on a little game called Element Rush.
It's the first game that I've made with phones in mind so it's an Android game.
I wanted the game to be relatively simple but based around one mechanic, basically the player dies in one hit...But.. The p…

Well I was contacted by a website looking to sell indie games and they wanted Archer Alec in their store.

Lately I've been transitioning into my new Job(Why Archer Alec has been a little stagnated here), while squeezing in time to work on Archer Alec on the side.
The Job is ok it pays good enough to start saving to afford a car eventually, and help pay for my girlfriends tuition (partially).
But enough …

He can Break through doors, hurt the player, and damage/loot the chest
Got a fairly good working day/night system along with some mediocre lighting effects via torches
