New update: EXPLOSIONS!
During the last few days I've been implementing more complex collisions, cooler explosions, and the ability to shoot highly destructive lasers.
You can read more about it, if you want, in my blog: https://tmblr.co/ZXktVf2H4r9CK
All sorting stuff for the contacts page is now done. Just need to set up the groups / teams pages & add edit/delete features before I'm finished with that part. (I've decided to skip the Schedule & Published pages for now, so the related sections will be blank temporarily.) Will probably be testing out some stuff on the Tools page next to get an idea of what file structure the core program needs. Trello.
Another Update! Now landing is possible!
I wrote about it in my development blog. There you can see a longer version of that gif and read how landing is implemented: tmblr.co/ZXktVf2HKn_3c
Next, I am working on the sound! I have the self-imposed objective to make the game take the less amount of disk space possible (Ideally, less than 1.44 mega bytes, the size of a floppy disk), so I wont be using pre-recorded sound effects at all. Instead, I am working on some algorithms that procedurally generate the different sounds.
A year ago my husband and I decided to make a turn-based strategy game. We both like this genre. He came up with the idea of computerizing a board game that he has invented a few years ago. I already had some experience in game programming with Unity, so I started off with a map editor. Then came the game itself. Much time was spent on AI behaviour (expected) and user interface (surprisingly).
And now the first release version is finally published! I tried to finish it till the end of January to participate in this jam.
I've just published my entry to the jam. It's called 'Give Me My Houmous!', and it's an endless runner. You're a dinosaur who just wants to have a picnic, but your houmous has been stolen. It's the first game I've managed to finish, so please check it out and feel free to give me feedback if you have time!
