We’ve heard a lot of positive feedback on the soundtrack to our game Magma (check it out here) and decided to post it here.

Now it loads the next level when you hit the gray area using box2d collisions. Slow as usual but hopefully I will add some projectiles for you to swarve around.

Next Goal: Projectiles restarted level

Man these posts never make the hour mark. Well anyway I can now load the next level. Clears the map and brings on a new one. Pretty awesome.

Next Goal: Collisions with proper next level

Hey guys, Sorry it’s been awhile. Going slowly again. I made the map class. I have fixed the scaling on android with that class as well. It seems that there is an issue if the screen isn’t iphone size. The background shows outside the box so I will have to have a different background for the squares then the background in the device. Hard coded map right now. I guess these are more like tweets. Thinking about making this a dodging game and the more crystals you get the more you can slow down time. Goal for next hour(aka next post): Tile to load the next area

Almost made the hour goal this time. Still a little buggy also. The Ball is too big. Not quite sure why. I will have to fix when I deal with the map code next. Also there is a lot of memory churn. Need to fix that as well.

Goal for Next Hour: GYM

Goal for hour after: MAPS

Super slow super slow. Lots of issues getting this to work and still not perfect. Thinking about changing the game up a little. Not quite sure yet. Next goal: Android scaling

Woo got projectiles in with the other stick.  A little hacky at the moment but I need to get box2d in anyway so I’m not too worried about it.  Also got the android version up and running.  Noticed things are real small. TODO put in scaling constant.

Going to bed.  Too tired from the hobbit last night.  Hopefully I’ll get up early tomorrow.  I have a lot of things to do.

Saturday:
box2d
Maps
Enemies
sunday:
Level design
Bug fixes

That is the pie in the sky what I hope happens but I think it rather achievable.

This was way easier than I thought it was going to be.  First I found joystick code here. http://www.cocos2d-x.org/boards/6/topics/2438.  Some modifications had to be made.  This was from a year ago so some functions have been changed and it was for 1 joystiq.  I just made some simple change not very robust to make it two but it will do. I then found some art for the joystiq here http://opengameart.org/content/side-scrolling-fantasy-themed-game-assets.  It’s a little off center but I think I can figure it out but for now it’s good enough. Goals for next hour: Shoot things with other joystiq Android version

So food has been eaten and character is now onscreen.  Moves toward my tap/click.  Not much more to update on.

Goal for next hour:

Dual sticks

Man that took longer than I wanted and I still want to setup windows. I’ll probably have to do that on monday. oh well. Lets make this mobile game!

Plans for the next hour.
Get a guy moving on screen.

Took me a long time to find some inspiration.  So here are the list of ideas I came up with.

Sniper (pretty obv snipe scope game)
taking candy from a baby (Puzzle game?)
Hackers (Puzzle reaction game?)
Bank Robbers (Stealth game)
Invasion
Mafia
Destroy city(I really like this one.  Not so familiar with 3d but it was going to be a running game where you destroy the city while you are running add some infinity blade in there)
Mr Freeze( dual stick shooter where you play as mr freeze stealing things in gotham)

And I think my game is going to be…

Dual stick shooter where you collect time crystals so you can take over the world!  Add some RPG puzzle stealth elements.  We’ll see pretty ambitious.
