Week of Awesome V: Day 6: The Tower of Chains

Greetings and salutations!

This is, for me, the final day of the jam; thus, what I've completed today is intended to be my final submission...

First, once again, a screenshot showing some of that final submission:



So, what does that submission include?

Week of Awesome V: Day 5: A Little Magic

Greetings and salutations!

Today was pretty productive, I do feel! Once again, I didn't get done quite as much as I might have liked, but nevertheless feel that I got a fair bit done.

First of all, a screenshot, showing the main menu (and the title that I've selected for the game):



So, what was done today?

Week of Awesome V: Day 4: Strange Crystals

Greetings and salutations!

Today was fairly productive, I feel! To start with, some screenshots showing the current state of the game:

The three powerups thus far implemented--from left to right, I believe: A "spread-fire" weapon, health, and a "charging blast" weapon.


Some of the current state of the game--note the three enemies, the health bar, and the new texture on the level-geometry.


As to specifics, read on:

Week of Awesome V: Day 3: Links of Iron

Greetings and salutations!

Today was a fairly productive day, I think--although I'm starting to feel a little behind my preferred schedule. The end of the week is creeping closer...

As to a screenshot, have a GIF showing the new chains in action (albeit with some cuts; the process is rather longer in-game):

Week of Awesome V: Day 2: Strange Creatures

Greetings and salutations!

Day two of the fifth Week of Awesome has concluded for me! It's been a fairly productive day for me, I think--although I'll confess that I didn't manage to finish quite everything that I had wanted to.

First, however, a screenshot showing some of the game's current state:


Not terribly pretty just yet, but early days (I hope). You can see some of my little prototype level, and the two enemies thus far implemented--the further, taller enemy shoots at range, while the smaller, spidery fellow attacks in melee.

So, what did I get done today?

Week of Awesome V: Day 1: Chains and Invaders

Greetings and salutations!

Once again, the "Week of Awesome" has come around, and once again I mean to enter!

The themes for this year are, I believe: "Chain Reaction", "Assassination", "Castles", and "Alien Invasion".

Poetry, Magic, and the Week of Awesome V

Greetings and salutations!

Before I begin, an announcement regarding the "and" section of this post's title: The annual "Week of Awesome" game-jam is running on GameDev.net (and this year on a dedicated site, too), and once again I mean to enter.

This means a few things, as I believe was in previous years:

First, I intend to focus on the jam during the week, and thus won't be working on A Door to the Mists. As a result, there will presumably be no blog entry next Monday.

Second, I intend to post daily blog-entries for my entry.

All that said, on to this week's entry!

For this week's screenshots, two things, both found in the lower tombs. The first is a bit of love poetry, found in one of the double-tombs. The second is a magical hand-mirror--completed now--filled with shifting colours, from one of the "private" tombs.






One again, the week just past was focussed on filling out the lower tombs:

Many Little Things

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a very-work-in-progress collectible, a magical mirror found in the lower tombs. The colours animate in-game; I intend to post a GIF of that animation once the mirror is done!


(The sequence of colours shown in the glass is one of the things that's still work-in-progress.)

The week just past was perhaps one of work on many little things. Few seem particularly noteworthy by themselves, but together they add up to a fairly productive week, I feel. ^_^

A Small Mystery in the Tomb

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshots, two parts of a story to be discovered in the tomb: What happened to this mummy? And why is this neighbouring tomb empty, its shelving thrown to the floor and only scraps of its contents remaining?




As you may gather from the above, the week just past continued to focus on filling out the lower tombs. Let me elaborate:

Props and Pieces

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshots, a look at some of the new items made during the week just past. The GIF shows a new collectible, while the still-image shows a flat-topped chest and a handful of props (some of which had been made prior to the week just past, I think):





The week just past was largely dedicated to such things as shown above. It was also a bit of a slow week, I feel.
