Bane's Game Development Journal

Okay lads and ladies - game is now up on my page. At the moment there are no enemies, and none of the exciting environmental hazards exist yet (After you squish the 'boss' the area is supposed to start crumbling). Once you get to the town, that is the end of the game (note, the town is after you exit the castle)

12 individual scenes all in all, with a few remixed scenes (entry from different areas, pre and post boss areas, etc) total 16 scenes of work. There are NO BACKGROUNDS yet - all work in game is done with 32 x 32 tiles at this point.

Shoot. No access for me right now. Will try it out later tonight.

Just tried it and finally got to the blue castle. Without your tips, I sort of get stuck.

Pretty good game so far. I am not sure you want people to keep guessing and exploring or provide some kind of castle map to ease the exploration. Also like to see more exotic actors and tiles as you alluded to. Perhaps also more twist and turn to the game.

I like it! I got to the town.

You should continue this blog :p

I fully intend to - I've had to take all of last week off due to work contraints. I only update this when I've worked within the Stencyl program - since I'm moving soon, there is going to be a longish period without internet where I will be working a lot on StencylWorks and writing the journals ready to be posted. Should be good.

Great to see you back. I was wondering for a while that I won't see this blog anymore.

This is a great journal, Bane. Very insightful into the learning process.
