Last hours were productive (albeit slow for my usual form, I’m getting old…).

I added the Helper robot, which is the one controled by the player:

and got his controls working (was easier than expected, since it’s controled by the arrow keys, but it is relative to the camera)…

Anyway, added the first real “gameplay” element: the gems… This is what the Driller robot has to get…

On the image, he’s currently picking up one of the crystals… he can only mine what’s right in front of him.

He’ll also be able to destroy stalagmites, which act as obstacles for the Helper robot, so that might add to an interesting gameplay bit…

Now, time for dinner and a movie (so my wife doesn’t feel neglected! )..: Going to see the new Tarantino one…

Have fun everyone, and good luck!
