You mean smoking, right?

Ok, I lied, I couldn't resist doing a bit of moonman coding today, but I'm definitely leaving tomorrow morning, so then, no more updates for a week.

Update: Today I got to code a bit, so added a background layer, it has few layers with parallax scrolling, and blends in with the sky to model atmospheric scattering/fog. The mountains are just placeholders at the moment, and my intention is to have different background scenery depending on your location, so snow biome will have snowy mountains, etc. Click image for youtubes video!

Nice concept @dustin and the game made me smile.

Awesome!

Update: Worked on sky rendering today. Sky changes colour depending on the time of day. Stars are visible at night and rotate on the planets celestial axis. Click image for animation.




Edit: Oh I should also mention that I'm taking a week off next week. So MM will be on hold for then.

Update: Input->physics->sprite chain is now linked up. Here's a minicap of me running around, changing weapons and heads. It's almost starting to feel like a game ...

aw nuuu tumblr is down, i can't find my december 1st advent game. wait .. we're working to australian eastern standard time right? O_O

Naturally, this will be somewhat... On hold until January. Compos and such.

Said oh so cool-ly ...

Heh yeh, well thanks for the encouragement. This game is definitely in my top5 games I'll definitely make one day.

Update: Got the engine compiled and running on OSX and am ready to smash the moonman input->physics->sprite chain tomorrow.

subterranetm -- i like it!

@ashkin I appreciate the drama But don't worry, I posted this over 3 months ago, before I had even started moonman, and while I still want to finish empire one day, right now its moonman time.
