So, the theme's gone live and I've got a week...

I've decided I'll start making the game and post updates here, just to see how things go! Feedback is always appreciated, whether its harsh criticism or overwhelming compliments!

So, I'm going to think for a while now as I come up with something original...

    Alright, I've got the name down, working on the story. I'll give you a hint, as I don't want anyone to steal my ideas...

    It has nothing to do with outer space... :P

    That idea is both 'an absolutely crap idea' and 'truly brilliant' ... all at the same time :D

    Looking forward to more .... will try to be more helpful next time!

    Sounds very cool! Love the fact that you made a development thread.

    Cheers

    Alright, I think we're deep enough into the challenge to reveal my stuff...



    While you don't understand how anything works, I promise you the controls are swift and easy, but the game is still ridden with bugs.

    There is no audio yet, but I'm working on it. Meanwhile, the graphics are alright, as they've never been my best point, but I'm getting better! :P

    Heh! I think that's one step closer to where I'm headed!

    Once again, feedback is always appreciated! Good luck to all the other competitors!

    Alright, I've implemented a "snap-to-grid" function to my blocks, which means level development is now a lot faster! Good news for me!

    Here's a small portion of my game, not revealing anything big until later...
    Also, it's amazing how much time snap-to-grid has saved me! Just an example of its power!

    Good luck to all!

    The banana's better, dude! Who lugs a watermelon around! :P

    Thanks for the feedback to all who have done so so far...
  • master200012master200012 Member Posts: 372
    I've done 17 level and decided to make only 32 total for this competition. I'm limited on time, but I'll make these levels as challenging as possible!

    While my game is only 673 MB, (which is odd, I really thought by now it would be more than that) it has a menu, main screen, level select, but no pause features as of now.

    Any ideas are welcome!

    I think we all know watermelons are much better than bananas. ;)

    Love your game concept its totally awesome
  • master200012master200012 Member Posts: 372
    Thanks! I'm trying to get some images to replace the signs and buttons to save my scenes from the use of display text. Also scouting out good music and sound effects.

    Thanks for your responses, as always!

    (P.S. I realized the small bowlboy ticker at the bottom of the forum pages is wrong! The Konami Code is actually: up up down down left right left right, B* A* Start*!)

    Alright, update guys! I've suddenly hit 2.0 MB on my game, and still going! I've finished 24 of my 32 levels, leaving me with 8 to go (and these last eight are the hardest). I'm going to go rearrange the levels later in order of increasing difficulty, and have to implement an options screen for volume control.

    Sorry for the wait on an update. I've been hard at work improving things, so I didn't put much time into it all. Nonetheless, here is the video of my progress.



    I can't help the slightly low resolution and FPS. Apologies for any future videos, too.

    Feedback is always appreciated! Thanks!
  • master200012master200012 Member Posts: 372
    Just a notification: hit 2.6 MB just now! 34 scenes using only 14 actors!
  • master200012master200012 Member Posts: 372
    I've found some really good music now! Going to use it when I get the game on the GS arcade and the app store!

    Also, just hit 4.5 MB! Working well on this game!

    Level select is done! Now all I really need to do is make the video and take a few screenshots...

    Cool stuff, glad you were able to participate in this. :)

    Now you're just bragging. :P

    I'm currently making a trailer of the game and will use that as part of my submission.
  • KodeRiter722KodeRiter722 Member Posts: 42
    sounds like its really coming along! can't wait to see it when it's finished! keep up the good work!

    I have been coming to this thread to see new stuff and was anxious to see the latest video. I think you have a good idea but I also have some suggestions:

    I think sometimes the graphics were a little distracting and could be changed. It didn't make sense to me when one of the level backgrounds was a grid that said FBI. Also, the arrows could be redone.

    Other than that, good job
  • master200012master200012 Member Posts: 372
    @DanDaMan123

    Thanks for your tips! I've changed the background from saying FBI (sounding strictly American due to that). While I understand it doesn't make sense from your perspective, it actually fits into the story, which I will release with the trailer I will be submitting.
  • master200012master200012 Member Posts: 372
    I need your opinion, oh great and massive public!
    Which screenshot should I submit? (Well, I think they're all good, but which are the very best?)
    Here are the screenshots I have at the moment:
