This time, I decided to start with the title screen! No, the title isn’t final. :p
Well I’ve decided to only use up to three colors per graphic, so this is what the game will look like all the way through. I’ll make it look better tomorrow, hopefully.

Somehow I got an idea. Let this MS Paint show you:

I expected some other theme to win, but “enemies as weapons” works out quite well.

So I’ve got two ideas:

• Super Mario Bros 2 ripoff. Not gonna happen.
• A game where you start with no form of attack, and have to defeat enemies to get weapons (they’re the only source of them in the game.).

You can already tell I’m stuck.

Here’s my LD History. Now with more horrible MS Paint skills!

Entry Page

Oh man, here it is! No achievements, sadly.

The triangle is the cursor. Hard mode, insanity mode, instructions, and achievements don’t exist yet. Those are next.

I added that floating island enemy from my last post into the game. It drops mines that blow up people on islands (onos) and the boat. You lose all the people you’re carrying and lose 50 points when you get hit. Three hits, and you’re dead.

Uploaded a video to them tubes, to show off actual gameplay and stuff. And for testing. Click the image below to watch it and stuff:

Also, after taking the videos, I finally added CLOUDS!!!

so I got some McFatness++ stuff.

Along with that, some kind of concept art:

He doesn’t seem to approve of my meal.

If you can’t tell, the player can now bring the people to land! The boat can only hold twenty people (a lot for such a small boat!). You get 20 points for rescuing people from an island, and 50 for bringing them to land.

There is now a score counter, a rescued people counter, and well, people! They’re stranded on islands, so you have to rescue them and bring them to land. Still need to work on the getting people to land thing, and change how the islands work so the people disappear when you rescue them other than the whole island disappearing. Maybe a max capacity of people on your boat too.

Still no clouds. It’s disappointing, I know.

Welp, got my game generating islands rather than having islands wrap around the screen.

WHOA!!! Something went wrong! It’s generating an island every frame, and in the sky!

Well now that’s fixed, I think I’m done for today.

So yeah, islands now have three different shapes as promised, and now there’s a BOAT!!! that you can control vertically. No clouds, though. D:

It’s pretty amazing! (not really)

So yeah, got some WACKY GRADIENTS and some islands which look identical! (and scroll, but you can’t tell from the screenshot) Next is different shapes of islands, and possibly clouds.

Well some crazy wacky thing happened and now I feel like entering.
Desk photo’s first.

If you’re wondering:

Not entering this time, unless some CRAZY WACKY thing happens that makes feel like it. Good luck to all.

Scratch that, I’m in.

My space exploring game thing is complete.
Go fetch!

Looks like I’ll have to cut this one level short, unless somehow I have enough time.

This is what happens when you don’t add delays in your generators. (If you can’t tell, there’s no interaction with asteroids and the player yet. :p)
And yeah, I added a cursor.

Here is a boss.

The text beside the health bar is the name and health of the boss.
Yes, I died after I took this shot.
