Getting sidetracked by trees and blocks..

Hmm.. Wasn't planning on this bit..

If you're a Lets Player (is that the right phrase?) you can safely Lets Play any of the games in my archive.

An extremely fast paced Match-3 game, this week!
Shuffle and Match, but be really quick doing it!!

This week's game gets an ALChoon!

This seems to be happening a fair amount, this year. Bonus tracks as well as the regular ALBum.. Hmmm...

All of this New-OUYA recompiling and fixing has certainly taken it's toll on NeonPlat. The game should've easily been finished by now, but instead I'm still working on enemy placements and trying to come up with Hats, which is still fairly early days in the world of NeonPlat..
*sigh*
Yesterday I finished off Karl's Tiny Adventure and got it uploaded to both GameStick and OUYA. The OUYA one will be the better edition, since it includes the music.
Worryingly, N...

Developments

I got a new "Timer or Event" bar under the score, in NeonPlat's Cosmic Adventure, which either displays a depleting timer for things like Shields and Speedups, or a set of blocks when displaying weapons and whatnot.
It's a fairly simply little bar, and isn't much to write home about, but there it is!
Meanwhile I'm also finding (or rather, other people are finding..) a weird quirk with some of my older games, on some Android devices. It seems that upon first load, th...

Developments

Yesterday I posted a test version of NeonPlat Adventure 2 over on the OUYA Forum, where people could download and test the game, to see how it is in it's current state.
Of the two commenters so far, I don't think either of them actually have tried it out, yet, which is a shame because in the world of AGameAWeek, I'm going to be ploughing ahead, and any issues they come up with will probably be out of date by the time they tell me about them! (This is why AGameAWeek is usu...

I spent most of yesterday working with the pathfinding AI.
The basic idea is that, once the basic level has been generated, an AI player runs through the level, trying to reach the other side.
To ensure at least one of these players survives, a fleet of 32 AI players are sent over the level, and each tries to find the "best" way through.

Developments

Last night I added some blocks to the Level Generator, which of course then required me to faff about adding extra rules to the player, and the baddies, and the other objects, to ensure they collide "roughly" correctly with the tilemap.
It didn't take too long to get the basics in, but having to essentially rewrite the rules for half-a-dozen different object types meant for a long and complex bit of work.

Complications occasionally crop up as you're developing a game.
The current complication is one of those "Everything NOW!!" issues.
See, I'd like to get my character's movement to work, and ensure my screen scrolling works as it oughta.

Developments

Oh, boy, did I sleep, yesterday!!
Saturday night was FAR too hot, and I couldn't settle at all. I spent most of the night lying in bed, listening to music and not achieving anything at all. Sleep wise, I got around about 2 hours total, leading to a very very sleepy Sunday!
Suffice to say, Sunday I got NOTHING done.. Nothing at all, except for sleeping.

Developments

Continuing with the new edition of SpikeDislike, and I'm still adding basic elements into the engine.
I've a whole lot of work to do on the game, including all the graphical styles and things like that, but for now I'm happy that it's totting up the combos in the way it should be.

Not an awful lot of stuff got done, yesterday, as I was having a bit of an off-day! Ho hum.. They're frequent, so expect a fair number of Daily Blogs to be of the "Couldn't do anything!" variety.
Still, I did bother to grab the iPad, load up Sprite Something, and doodle some sprites for the new game.
I drew a ship, a number of weapons, and some enemies, before heading over to Windows and getting them all integrated into the game.
It didn't take very long at al...
