Eternal progresses

Ok, anyone reading this blog must realise how much i love writing games. They must also realise that my latest game has taken my time by storm. Every game developer out there knows what i am tlaking about. Our latest creations take control of our minds.. ARGH!!!!!!!!  Run, Save the kids!

So it is with Eternal Recoil featuring Bob the Frog. I think it may be time to rename it, only i love the shortened name of Eternal a lot :)

Here is a short list of some of the items i have been busy programming into the game these last two weeks or so (and yes, Xnas and new Years is in that 2 weeks!.

Name changed to bob the Frog

Sky changes color as you progress higher

Menu buttons like Pause added

Full level select menu now in

Deadly spikers added

Springy platforms added

Several sizes of platforms added

Moving platforms added

5 test levels created

Records best times

Collectibles added (gems)

Editor has now been started

Results screen

Effects on several depths for several elements

instructions (yes, i have the class written now)

Recording of number of Gems collected

Recording of Best time for a level complete

Pause and quick restart buttons

And more i am sure i have forgotten...............

So as you can see, i have been way more busy than i should have been. The first 3 levels really showed how well the game could be played, the next two were and are in fact overkill. Still designing levels to play is so much more fun than writing editors. Even if an editor will allow me to design levels in a fraction of the time.

The moral is....

sometimes we do what is more fun, and not what is more productive. But boy is it fun :)

Happy game playing y'all.
