Not going to get finished in time.  Good luck to everyone else though

Update 12/10/09:
I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO MAKE THE GAME I ORIGINALLY STARTED.  I worked on it for two days and then stopped out of sheer boredom.  I guess I just can't be bothered to make another platformer engine right now.  I am instead making a puzzle game that's disguised as a roguelike.  5000 points goes to the first person who can guess what sprites and tiles I'm using.

I have no idea what's going on in this screenshot.

Done:

• Player movement
• Conveyors
• Vertical moving platforms
• A pipe that spawns boxes?  Sure, why not.
• Left/right screen wrapping

To do:

• NOTHING! This game is canceled.  I will now make a different game.

Oh man, deadeye is back!

That screenshot takes me back to 1983! Looks awesome.

Oh boy, this reminds me of Mr. Robot and his Factory. And that's a good thing!

Deliciously old school yes.

I've already got more done on the new game than I did on the original one, and I've only been at it for a few hours.  Screenshots soon, maybe.  Maybe even a demo, maybe.

Sounds cool! Is this a Tetris/Bejewelled sort of puzzle game or a Sam & Max sort of puzzle game we're talking about here?

[deadeye]

Neither!  It will look pretty much like a roguelike, but play entirely differently.  Kind of like the sliding ice-block puzzles in the Zelda games, only you're the ice block.

I'm going to call it now:  This entry isn't going to be finished.  The holidays took too much time away from working on it, and there's no way I can could catch up now and make the game I wanted to.

I will hold on to the idea and develop it later on down the road, with my own graphics and sound.  And I do have a playable one-level demo, but I'll wait to post it until after the compo.

Good luck to everyone else!  Looking forward to casting my votes...
