abandon compo release
the compo release — you will need Python and pyglet installed.
While it obviously still needs a lot of work, I’m blitzed to have taken my first game from an idea to some kind of release. It was a lot of fun!
update: After an unfortunately busy week, I’ve finished my post-compo release. Now with more static:
Still no .exe I’m afraid. I do appreciate that people have tried the game, and I should have included some kind of warning that the original release was rather unfinished, apologies for that. However I was unsure if I should reply to the comments, as I felt that I had committed to what I released and I wanted it to stand on its own, admittedly somewhat stunted, two feet. The new release includes most of the features I originally had planned. Now back to playing the rest of the games!
.exe update: Now you can get a Windows .exe bundled either as a .zip (about 9MB) or as a tar.gz (about 4MB).

the Louisiana BBQ down the block will get official mention in my game credits — gumbo, yam pie, baked beans, potato salad, and a snack earlier on top. I hope it’s OK that I seem to be paying more attention to my food photos than screens of my game…I’m very happy with how things are going, and I think I can I have something playable tomorrow, and hopefully with more graphics and sounds.

here I go, breakfast and the title screen of my first game ever! As I was doing that I remembered reading that it’s best to start a game in the middle, with the gameplay, then do the end and the beginning afterward…it’s funny how intentions don’t always translate into actions. Anyway, I have a pretty solid idea of what I want to do, the only thing now is to do it.

Going to have a go at this finally! Above is my upstairs/downstairs work space, but it’s finally not going to rain this weekend, so maybe I can sit out in the sun. My planned arsenal:
* Python + pyglet or libtcodpy
* GIMP, Alchemy, sfxr, lmms, and Audacity
* a marantz pmd620, yamaha p140, and wacom UD
* Louisiana gumbo and hopefully a garden salad at some point.
