  Quick update... | 
Posted - 1/31/2010 8:43:18 PM | EDIT: Here's a video of the latest build.
Just a quick update, Attack of the 50ft Verbose Dinosaur is back in playtest, here are the changes since the last version:
Bugs fixed:
- Chopper collided with bubbles that weren't shot.
- Credits only showed once.
- Stack overflow when many bubbles were attached to the same building.
- Sometimes the fireball effect kept appearing on the dinosaur's head.
- The chopper appeared immediately if you paused the game for some time.
Modifications:
- Vowels no longer include W and Y (only a,e,i,o,u)
- Letters not shown when level is paused to avoid cheating
- Chopper moves slower in the easier modes.
- Easy time limit increased again due to popular demand.
- Font size increased when time is running out.
- Font colors changed in credits for improved readability.
- Contrast increased for the letters on the dinosaur's back.
- More information about letter power added to the tutorial.
- If the helicopter comes when you destroy a building, it crashes but returns almost immediately with the same bonus.
- Formed words are no longer desselected when the chopper is hit with a bubble.
- Parallax scrolling on the background.

| Playtest.... | |
Posted - 1/17/2010 4:18:21 PM | Attack of the 50ft Dinosaur is now in playtest. If you are an Xna Creators Club member and you have nothing better to do, give it a try here.
Here's the game cover, I'm not sure if it's the final one:
EDIT - The second image should be the final one, my brother changed it to make the dinosaur look even more deranged.

| Attack of the 50ft Verbose Dinosaur! | |
Posted - 1/4/2010 9:01:56 PM | It's been a while since the last post.
I've been very busy on our latest game, Attack of the 50ft Verbose Dinosaur (AOT5VD).
AOT5VD is, basically, Scrabble meets Rampage. You play as a dinosaur that throws letters at buildings. When the letters form a word you can explode the word, causing damage to the buildings. The bigger the letter the bigger the damage. I came up with the concept and did all the programming, my middle brother did almost all the art.
You can view a gameplay video here.
Once in a while a helicopter comes by with a word missing the first letter. If you complete the word you get a bonus. More on that later.
But why is the dinosaur doing this?
Any comments/suggestions appreciated (stuff you'd like to see on the game, things that seem wrong to you, etc).
