We have fixed some issues and bugs with our newest update for “Invent The Wheel!”

Changes/Fixes include:
1) Overdrawing – You only have a limited area in which you can draw.
2) No more timer – You have an infinite amount of time to draw your wheel.
3) Updated controls – You now draw with RMB, which appeared to be easier during our testing.
4) White flag – You can now abort your run and retry.

We also fixed some minor display bugs that occasionally appeared pre-fix.

Enjoy your new (and hopefully improved!) wheeling experience! 😉

I know, it’s a bit early. But I’m already preparing for the upcoming Ludum Dare competition. Like previous years I’ll be competing in the April Ludum Dare. This will be my ninth time in the 4 years I compete.

To get myself prepared I’ll be doing a series of research on “What makes a game good?”. From experience I know there’s a list of do’s and don’ts. I’ll be keeping a blog on this here on the Ludum Dare website and my own blog. Up to the event I’ll be posting eight blogs, followed by reviews on how my blogs fit with games made by you. Feel free to request or comment. And if you’re in for a review on your entry about “What made your game good?” Leave a message!

For the upcoming series and Ludum Dare I prepared my normal toolset including:

• Islandworks’ GameCreator
• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• Audacity
• Mobile microphone

And lastly

• Tape, lots of paper and a pen

Got most of the features done today, as planned! Tomorrow I’ll polish and finish the story, which’ll contain the Behind the Surface part of the game.

First thing : ZOMG I have wrote the worst code ever …

Two screenshots here :

You are the Red player and you start the game on a planet. Your enemy is Blue. You both can expand to neutral planets, accumulate more units with yours mother ships, fight for the possession of a planet, and kill each other =]

You also can make your own custom maps.
