2 more days to go, here's the fifth's blog

good luck every one

Into day 6 for me and so far I've had a lazy morning and afternoon to recoup my energy. Here's where I got to yesterday...

I didn't work on the game as much as I would have liked so progress has been a little on the slow side. What I did manage to do was a few very important things which are really tipping the balance from tech-demo towards something resembling a real playable game...

• I've fixed a variety of niggling bugs and did some performance tuning. I even tested it on my 2009 Macbook Pro and it performs well enough!
• Implemented level-complete event and advancing to level++
• Implemented a text-based dialog system so the game can drive the story and explain what to do.
• Designed a start-screen which also meant thinking up a name!
• Built a 1st tutorial level.

Definitely my goal for day6 is to get some music and soundFx in there. If I can build some more levels too then I've got a minimum-viable game, after that it's all polish! Can't wait!

I see other games are progressing well and some are entering the final stages of their developments. Keep up the great work!

I'll leave you with my start screen:

I'm entering crunch time!, who's with me? ?

I am ?

There are a few things I want to add to make it "feature complete", And proper testing.

Quick update.

Hopefully I'll get some screenshots and a third update by tonight.

It looks as though it's coming along rather well, and I like the title. Good luck with the remaining time!

Looks nice! The games with balls and spheres are my favourite!

Thanks guys!

Nearing the finish. Just a few more tweaks, and a few more crashes to fix.
