The title brings up an interesting question. If you start a sentence with a number, you don't have to capitalize the first actual word, right? Should you even be using a number to start a sentence? Is that bad? I'll look it up later.
Anyway, it's been a couple weeks with no posts. I need to rectify that.
Update on the game: I'm done!
Okay, well, not done done.
Actually there's a long way to go, but the main functionality is done. I'm pretty excited about that.
So what does that mean? Well, the powerups are all in and work. You get scores. You can lose. You can win. You can play the game, because it is actually a game, basically.
What isn't done? A couple things.
Lots of tweaks to controls, speed, scores, various gameplay elements.
No sounds at all yet.
Graphics need to be added and/or tweaked in a lot of places.
Menu system needs to be made final.
Instructions need to be added.
Game over and next level screens need to be made pretty. "Made pretty" is a technical term, by the way.
Oh, and there is one level that is basically some bricks I threw on the screen for testing. Need a few more of those.
So still a lot to do. I'm shooting for a November launch. Using the "When I have the time" method of making games is not good for deadlines. It's always hard to work for 15 minutes here, an hour there. It's especially hard to think that, if I could work full time and had a programmer and an artist, I could be pumping out games on a monthly basis. Frustrating, but those are some big ifs to deal with.
