Ah interesting. I took a different approach, tried moving the hue to blend with the sky a bit more (also the purpley version hid his skiis a bit too much.)  I will try saturating it a bit more and see what happens. |

Hey everyone it's time for a new video... this one's quite different!
You can see:
- the use of switches to change your path (still a little slow at the moment, might have to do a Mario-style reveal)
- better handling
- new tiles.
- parallax scrolling

It's looking pretty sharp already!
My only gripe would be that the pause when hitting switches seems to break up the flow of the game a bit.

Thanks, I think I've figured out why - it regenerates all the platforms (but seems to do it for each appearing block, when it only needs to be done once after they've all switched...) Platform scanning takes a while, hence you can see longer walkways taking longer to appear. In other words, should be able to fix it!  |

Well, I just arrived in Japan... Got a few bugs ironed out like the one mentioned above, and added a new move (jumping air swipe!), and I hope to have a demo available in the next couple of days if I'm not too busy drinking sake!  |

Very coool! :D Perhaps it's an idea to add non-emos that will give you penalty points and emo-bosses or famous emos that will give bonus points?

What like Chris Carrabba, Elliot Smith or Emo Phillips? |

Yeah that's a great idea about non-emos... Didn't think of that! I had this idea that emos give you time bonuses, so it all becomes a race against time, non-emos would give you penalties.
I'll definitely be putting in secret emos - was thinking they could be really big like boss-characters - maybe the're skiiing too and you have to chase em down the mountain!
Are there any famous emos? I could put in the singer from My Chemical Romance haha. Actually maybe the secret emos are My Chemical Romance, all the members!
Anyway, off to Okinawa for a gig tonight, but hope to get a complete-ish version done while I'm there. Sadly I think it will be far from finished, but there will be something to play, and I can assure you the sheer satisfaction of emo-slaughter firsthand will not disappoint!
[edit: typo]
Order of play:
1. finish map
2. score screen
3. secret emos
4. demo

There probably aren't many famous emos, or are there? I don't know, but I thought of singers as well. Also don't forget people like Chris Crocker (you know, the hysterical emo-fan of Britney).. :D

There are no famous emos because THEY DON'T WANT YOUR ATTENTION, MAN. *sob* But seriously though, this looks fun. When I read the title, though, I thought it would be something like this:  But really, any game with gratiuous violence against emos is fine by me. :D (jk) (...maybe) |

It's funny, I was thinking Chris Crocker might go in there... now he will! Perhaps him and the members of My Chemical Romance.
Unfortunately I have been waylaid having a nice time here in Okinawa, and I'm starting to think I won't get it done on time. Hmmm. It would be a shame to fall at the last hurdle though, cos it's reached a nice playable state,
Re: Oregon Trail game - I encountered it in my 'research', as I took the title knowing nothing about the Oregon Trail - the name had me at 'Emo Harvest', and I had to find a ludicrously weak connection with the Oregon Trail (see intro image a page or two back). Anyway I'm pretty sure that the compo's not focussed on realism, haha!
Anyway, it's been fun, and I will still post it on here, just maybe a week late or so. If nothing else, it's helped me develop a new framework I can use for future projects.

As long as you don't put in any original emo people (ie people I actually like) I'll be ok. IE don't put in Sunny Day Real Estate or any of the older hardcore punk emo people
