This project is awesome.

Continue. This is an order.

That concept art is absolutely beautiful and amazing. 

(also, the game is looking good)

New videoooooooooo which may have been more trouble to make than it's worth...

That is one nice level editor. I got to make myself some tools like that.
I really like the levers, I imagine you could create some interesting puzzles with them.
Looking forward to this.

I'm getting closer to finishing the first tileset!  Kinda running out of room, so I think I'll only have the door/block things be able to be color-coded with the switches.  Also, bigger color selection for those who want to make picture levels (the last five are the same color as the first five.  They're currently placeholders for a certain set of puzzle tiles).  The other tilesets should go faster than this first one.

you should have a mac style indented text effect on those buttons.

I made a bridge for my bridge so that I can cross while I cross.

Wow, the game really evolved well. Keep at it :D

[Μarkham]

Mostly working on updating my Content Management System enough so that I can start working on modifying it for custom level management, but I did get the tile selection screen mostly done, and a few other tiles started.

Pretty cool little game, I guess the idea is to get to the other side with the highest possible score?

When watching the video, I thought it would be interesting if you had a mode where you don't actively control the creature, but it turns automatically based on certain rules. So it's up to the player to modify the stage appropriately so the creature makes it across. For example creature turns right whenever it crosses a yellow block or runs out of blocks.

More kinda uninteresting updates...




The GUI graphics are coming together, and the ones for the level editor are complete.  The main menu background is started, and will eventually be animated so that the big logo in back disappears back into the distance as the main menu comes in.

I also spent some time reprogramming the switches.  They no longer switch tiles between activation states, since I decided seven more tile spots would be more important than being able to choose the exact lever position on the switch.  Three already went to colored switches, and one to an ice-tile version of the pressure switch.

As of now, there are only 7 more "special" tiles out of 64 tiles total that need their functions programmed in.  The last will be saved for more towards the end, since it obviously won't show up any earlier.

Ever get to the point where you've nearly finished something and then it occurs to you to test something and you discover a game-breaking bug that results in having to recode a few large sections of code?

Last week, I did.

So after a week of working between retarded Computational Theory and Discrete Mathematics midterms round 1, I redesigned how blocks and the player work with switches and 'doors,' working in a basic form of Z axis replacing the old system that mostly worked with a boolean variable named "IsHigh."  The result is that, through careful level design and management of blocks, the player is able to design block towers for whatever absurd reason.


Crap.  I just realized they aren't programmed to work with rotating bridges when stacked...

Hey, you sure you're not overdoing this? Maybe you should just release the game

[i wanna be the guy]

a boolean variable named "IsHigh."

HEH!!!

looking good, finish it already

[Guillaume]

We want updaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaates!
