Oh my goodness there’s no way I can keep up with the amount of posts and comments this site is getting! It’s awesome that so much awesome is awesoming here so awesomely.

Awesome.

So my update.

Looks way better in motion. Click it!

Turns out that Flash doesn’t really likethe way I am doing 2.5D, but eventually I got the framerate to be a consistent 30.

Postmortem of Saturday:
I’m doing it wrong:

• Too much Mtn Dew.
• Not sleeping when my body is telling me I need it.
• Maybe concentrating too much on the visuals. I always spend a lot of time tweaking things like colors and animation speeds.
• Normally I’d say AS3/Flex is great for LD, but I think that for this game concept I’d have been better off dusting off Code::Blocks and using some SDL/OpenGL.  A lot of time was lost to getting Flash to cooperate and the quality of the game is definitely suffering.

I’m doing it right:

• Never seen a Flash game that looks anything like this!
• Nap!  I seem to be like 10x more productive now.
• Excited about the game concept!
• It’s kind of fun!

Basically I am ripping off the Wario Ware Inc. microgame Ninja Pipe Cleaner. Which you can see a video of here.

You can see my last upload here.   I’ll be uploading updates there occasionally.
