It's finished! I moved stuff over here: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=24970.0

Or start eyeballing my wip stuff:

The art looks great.

So I'm trying to make up for it with anime goth lolis

Yup. I'm buying this game.

[HernanZh]

Lol, thanks. I wish I could draw a little faster though. The drawing part is taking me forever.

Hm, a devlog about a puzzle game sure can be boring lol. It's really hard to update this, it's not really exciting to announce something like "I've made another puzzle!", or "Another menu screen, hurray!"

Anyway, I feel compelled to tell you the game's making a lot of progress. Though one thing I've especially been having trouble with is making backgrounds. I'm never sure what to do. Especially the titlescreen, that's been a black screen for weeks. Today, I finally managed to start something. Here's the work in progress, what do you think?

haha, i feel the same way about my devlog.  i always feel somewhat guilty about posting an update because it's a lot of new menus and such, but menus take a lot of work and IMO are something to be very proud of

i think the title screen looks great so far.  even as a sketch it's pretty sharp!

I agree. They can be a lot of work.

I love the fish eye perspective of the title screen art!

Hello.
Haven't updated this devlog in a long time. Like I said before, it's kinda boring to update on menu screens and new puzzles. But this time I've got loads to show, because I spent weeks working on cutscenes. Basically, I divided the puzzles into 5 levels (20 puzzles each) and show a cutscene on start of every level. Anyway, enjoy some old WIP pics and finished stuff:






Initially, I decided not to do any cutscenes and just make the player go right into the puzzles and stuff. I couldn't do it. I couldn't sleep, knowing I went down the cheap way and skip on this I just want my games to have more quality. I still wonder if this was the right thing to do though, considering this is a mobile game...

Overall, the gaming is nearing it's completion. Currently implementing Game Center for iOS and looking into options for the Android version. After that I'll start recording footage for a trailer.
Meanwhile here are 2 ingame screenshots:

Looking great!

[HernanZh]

Thanks!

Wait, is this full of designed puzzle levels o: because that's pretty sweet, if so.

Except for the fact that it's on mobile.

Not sure what you mean with designed puzzle levels. I mean you always have to design puzzles. Unless you mean that I didn't pile together blocks to form "Angry Birds" like levels, then yes?

[Droqen]

I mean, ah, not like Tetris (i.e. levels that keep growing with difficulty scaling to get harder) or other puzzle games that have levels that are more 'mess of colours to solve' rather than an organized mess of colours that might have an especially clever solution.

[HernanZh]

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, the puzzles always involve clearing all ghosts on the field with a limited amount of moves and you have to make "clever" placements to solve them.

Hopefully I can throw together a trailer of some sort sometime soon, so that becomes a little clearer.
