New games every week!
A Larger Project Blog
1st July 2013
As we head into July, I've decided to dig my heels in, and aim for another bigger project.
Much like April's "Stringy Things" month, this will probably take over the usual AGameAWeek schedule, resulting in a smaller number of releases over the course of the month.

.. hopefully, it doesn't run into a dead end, like Stringy Things did!

For this project, I'll be using TWO languages.
Monkey will be the main language, and DevKitPro/PALib will be the ported languages, for DS Homebrew.
'cor!

The target will be an all new RetroRaider adventure.

I'm hoping to add all sorts of fancy new features and elements into the game, but am also having to consider touchscreen-only controls, and all those other silly awkward "android" based complications.
Tricky stuff, but... I'll battle them as I reach them.
For today, I spent a while getting my old DS Devkit stuff up and running, making sure I didn't break the Monkey stuff along the way, and then took a bit of time doodling some new bits and pieces (Map screen?!) as well as planning out how the level format's going to get scrunched down.

So far, the game is at 0.1% completion. ie, it can show a background, and that's pretty much it!

.. still, it's a start!

Tomorrow's game will be Ted Poll the Tadpoll, which may/may not already be available on the GooglePlay store for .69p
After that, July may be a teensy bit quiet for a while!
