Damn, this is great!  Too bad you won't be finishing it.

today i worked on a game i started a day or two ago

very interesting.
Hm. I am curious about the game mechanics. The projectiles sticking in the walls and whatnot.

Can't wait to see the demon sprite incorporated.

It's really cool! The demons take a bit long to kill. It'd be neat if you could stand on your projectile things. It'd also be really cool if the damage done increased exponentially based on how many are detonating at once. It would add a lot if you had to try and stick as many bullets into the enemy/ground as possible before you set it off.

thanks! i've actually done that chain attack type thing already, as it was the plan from the start. standing on your projectiles would be kinda cool, but it wouldn't be very easily playable i think

The demons take a bit long to kill.

what demons?

[Mipe]

John, you are the demons.

[Xion]

no...

No...!

NOOOO!!!!

... and then john was a zombie.

Andy changed the download link! Villainy!

The new demo is also pretty cool.

I like the domino effect that shooting spikes will cause nearby spikes to explode. I can't think of a scenario where that would be useful though.

Today I created another boss animation. And I better stop participating in this thread because knowing me I'll slowly reveal the whole game.

Today I created a little bit of code that renders what a 2 dimensional environment might look like if it could be seen in three dimensions. Think flatland.

This is a big step for me, as I built it from scratch with no knowledge of how to build a working 3D engine. Given, it's not full 3d, but the principles are similar... I think.

Move the mouse to navigate the maze, in the right-hand corner is a first-person, 360 degree view.

		[0,1,0,1,0]];

var walls = [];

var maxD = 550*550+400*400;

function drawMap() {
	for (y=0;y<map.length;y++) {
		for(x=0;x<map[y].length;x++){
			if (map[y][x] == 1) {

In AS2-o-vision!


I thought about making a game based on this for the cockpit compo, but told myself, "Nah! That's way to complex for you to finish right now!" Ironically, I made this in about an hour of free time tonight.

[Gold Cray]

For whom do you build your pyramid?

[Gold Cray]

Today I created a tool for making graphics for my video game.

The next step is to learn how to make something that actually looks like a city of the future instead of just a bunch of random boxes.

[Choukou]

Today I created an idea in my brainspace for an Interactive Fiction game.  Now to learn Inform7...

[increpare]

gc; i really really like that aesthetic. all crazy and dotmatrix

[Lynx]

The next step is to learn how to make something that actually looks like a city of the future instead of just a bunch of random boxes.

Those are clearly not random boxes - it's a city on fire!

[it_is_coming]

I made a sprite

I'm not usually good at arting, but this turned out pretty good.

[Kekskiller]

Gold Cray: That looks fucking awesome. Reminds me of an abstract roguelike concept.
Josiah Tobin: Nice portraits, I like the second one more than the others. It's just more... sexy. The snaky eyes, you know...

[Hempuli‽]

Still working on this boss. Takes forever to do...
Today I made those flying particles that it shoots.
