The engine's working nicely, an art style has been defined, and things are getting put together. I've started building some proper levels, now, but already the game's feeling like it's still missing something. At the moment, I'm attempting to add wandering bad-guys into the levels, which should help make things a little less lacklustre, but trying to get them to wander nicely within the areas is proving to be much more complicated than I thought, especially when the levels are build up with nothing more t...

Tentatively titled "Invisible Munky 2 - Happy Banana Land!" because... why not! ( width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nOvzVa-4EV4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>> So, um.. Yeah.. The engine seems to be working well, although I've not added too much yet. I need to design proper levels for this one, and I also have an object limit, which will be odd to have to deal with.. Curious! Anyhoo, the game's been started, and assuming ...

You might've noticed a certain lack of content, lately. I'm not sure why this is, if I'm honest. I keep starting new things, and giving up too quickly. So, um, what to do..? Well, yesterday, Unity 5 was released, and they've made it entirely (mostly) free to use. This is a bit of a shock, and as I type this, Unity 5 is installing in the background. I'm going to give it a whirl. I figure that, since I'm not actually releasing anything lately, I might as well have some fun and try something new. ...
