    You're welcome to guess, but I don't think you'll get it 100% right ;)

    QS :D

    Ok in that case I reckon you play as the sun and have to get rid of the dark clouds, maybe so the plane can reach it's destination...?

    Hi QS,
    Sorry I couldn't post earlier, I'm on vacation in Portugal having quite a hard time writing on my 3GS... Can't wait to see the video at home, the embedded vids don't work on the phone...

    Cheers,
    Thomas

    I hope you're enjoying your well earned break, sir! :D

    There is no vid yet! I usually don't make one till a game is submitted! Sorry! :O

    You're half right! (I told you you wouldn't get it 100%) ;)

    The main gameplay mechanic is very very simple - you just tap where you want a fireball to go, to shoot the clouds.

    Your 'ammo' is shown by the rays rotating around the sun - and it regenerates after each shot.

    That's all you're getting! :P

    The game is very silly. Very very very silly. But not *that* silly!

    Hey all,

    Still 'Working on Sunshine' (:D) and thought I'd post another quick pic that still gives no indication of how the game works! YAY! :D

    I will say that old_kipper has given it a go, and said "It's a lot more arcade like than I imagined".

    I'm not sure what to make of that!

    Anyway, here's the pic:

    Feeling hot Hot HOT!! <img class=" />

    I'm halfway through building levels now, so I'm hoping to have something for testers this weekend.

    But, you know, I said that a few weeks ago ;)

    Cheers,

    QS :D

    Anyone else instantly think of Super Mario 3?? Or just me?

    I think it looks a bit Super Mario-ish too; which can't be a bad thing!

    Really like it, QS; it's great to see an upbeat game idea. :-)

    Well it makes me laugh as it's very, very silly. But yes, the game's all about being upbeat!

    Who'd have thunk it, eh? ;)

    I'd have thunk it that you'd thunk it, QS! You've always come across as an upbeat sort of guy to me. :-)

    Positive reality is my motto. :-)) (Old hippy, see... only took me 30 years to reach that motto as a conclusion, if you see what I mean)

    I'm on level 6 of 8 :O

    I got some tiny additions thanks to old_kipper - the birds, for example, look a lot lot better now!

    Then I have to check it all hangs together - and try and squash all the bugs - but I'm hoping to have something for you by the end of the this week!

    Then I'll spend a week fixing any issues found and generally polishing up. And if we get a new GS build, I'll have to make sure it all works ok in that too!

    So, if I submit to Apple end of next week... it should be out around the 21st of the month! :O

    Fingers crossed!

    QS :D

    Nope!

    I only ever do videos when a game's finished! It'll be a fun one, though, and (hopefully) not long now!

    Sorry Beefy - but I got this ;)

    In lieu of a video, here's the final level, set on the moon:

    Feeling hot Hot HOT!! <img class=" />

    It's subject to change of course!(I'm thinking of moving the pods around, and I need to put in some craters).

    I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: Why is the Sun wearing a space helmet?

    Well, in this level, he's in space.

    Obvious really :D

    Did I mention this game is silly?

    QS :D

    T-minus 2 days until I get my build for testing! :P

    I love his little space helmet! Loving the Moon level!

    Bless you! I've made some pretty good progress. Unfortunately the sound bug with 9.8 is screwing things up :(

    I'm hoping they fix it asap.

    Here's another screen in the meantime!

    Just cuz the sun looks incredibly cute, i'll show my support by buying this on opening day ;)

    Looking very good Sheepy, hope to see a vid soon

    QS, you've got me really curious about this whole concept!
  • deleted1deleted1 Member Posts: 19
    Hi this will be an awesome game from the looks of it, I like the artwork and I'm curious about the gameplay :D.

    The only thing that's bothering me are the clouds, it looks distorted/compressed horizontally (I'm not sure if that is the right term). Not to be picky but just pointing out what I noticed. :)

    Im also very curious about this game gameplay!

    When should it be released?

    Cheers.

    Hey, no problem!

    I'm not sure why they'd look like that. The medium clouds (as in the one in the last pic) were drawn at 128x128, and the actor's 64x64 (for Retina Display purposes).

    I'm not sure why they'd look 'distorted' therefore (although I have been looking at them for a year or more, so it's always good to get a fresh perspective!).

    Cheers.

    I was hoping to submit this week, with a release set for October 21st. But that all depends now on whether we get a fix from GS for the .98 release :(

    I hope we do get something this week as it'll delay me quite a bit (don't want to release the week after due to Halloween, for example, which means it may be delayed till the week after that - which is NO fun!)

    As to the gameplay, it's very very simple. Just tap where you want your fireball to go, and try and shoot the grumpy clouds!

    There's more of course... but that's the basics!

    I LOVE the sun! I want to take him home and cuddle him! He says 'Thanks for the support' btw! :D

    Video may be coming some time this week. I'm just finishing the game off. Just need it tested really, and this latest GS build is holding that process back a bit :(

    QS :D

    Just a small update!

    Butterbean has played this and seems to like it! She brought up some good points, so I've been fiddling bits and bobs based on her feedback :)

    I also managed to add a little fella to the first level - but I'm thinking he might pop up elsewhere as well...

    BEHOLD THE MIGHTY NOKKEN!!!

    Feeling hot Hot HOT!! <img class=" />

    FEAR HIM!!!

    :D

    Just got another piece of art from Damien that will transform the game all on its own...

    I can't wait to finish this! Just days away if GS can get their finger out!

    COME ON!!!

    QS :D

    I'm kinda new in Game Salad, the Apps and all related to Apple (xD) but this looks fantastic. The graphics look like a Kirby game and I love Kirby, I will buy this but I think is a bit to simple. There will be multiple game modes or just the normal levels?
  • butterbeanbutterbean Member Posts: 4,315
    I beta tested this as Sheepy said above, and I absolutely LOVE it!

    I was only planning on playing a few worlds, but ended up playing the entire thing... :)

    It reminds me of a game you'd see on the Nintendo shop, it really does!
