You cannot rush greatness.
(But you can still get out and push.)

DAY 297 - February 9, 2012 - Working more on ai directors and defense missions.
- Enemies can only spawn on off-screen spawn points.
- Some enemies will target player while others go for defense points.
- Fixed win conditions so that it's not over until all enemies are defeated.
- Made enemy spawn rate a sin curve.
- Bows can now be gotten in chests.
 Thanks for the support as always guys. Progress is slow at the moment because the Lumberjack project, which is going great however. It's a little hard to work both, but no matter what happens I'm still committed to finishing this game. Also I think working on smaller projects will only help hone my design skills and make this game better in the end. Plus, if our small projects go well, my collaborator Owen may be able to help on this game as well.

DAY 299 - February 11, 2012 - Finished previous teleport-themed level.
- Jammed out another defense level, themed around bomb arrows.
- Added text only buttons to the logbook.
 This one didn't turn out to be all that fun. The defense points are to far apart, and the ladders make traversing to them annoying because you can't shoot while on a ladder (maybe I should change it so that you only can't shoot while moving on a ladder?). But now I know for the next one. Starting to get way faster at these. I'm getting a better hang of my own cutscene and mission systems so I don't have to go relearn all the code everytime I want to trigger something.

That one looks like it would be a lot of fun if there wasn't as much walking between the different defense points. I will say that I have bad memories of games where I had to constantly and frantically run between two defense points that were roughly forever away from each other. Other than that it looks great

Agreed. You already pointed it out, but the points are pretty far apart. Maybe you should drop the two towers on the sides and just focus on the center tower. |

DAY 300 - February 12, 2012 - Worked on another prototype level from my list.
 @CGshepard, SolarLuneI agree, however I am trying to encourage a little bit of movement, because if all the points can be defended from a single vantage point without moving it's not very exciting or interesting.

What is this new looking tom-foolery? It looks incredible.
May I ask what you're planning on doing for the ceiling?
About the towers, that is a very interesting dilemma. I feel that the combination of the walking AND the climbing is the problem. The other problem is that they are on a basically linear path. When you get to B right from A and C right from B, it's a pain to have to walk from C through B to get to A. If it was more triangular in design, it would be less annoying. AKA, make a ladder or something between the bottom tower and the top tower above it, or give you access to some form of vertical movement, be it bird or elevator.
That's of course my subjective opinion.
