Back to work: new outlook

Well after my unintentional hiatus (well it was a fun summer so I took some me time) I am back.

I have a new focus and a new plan of how I want to do the level designs. I will reuse my levels I have now and add more but I am removing the first level and starting out in a smaller first level. The idea of a huge first level with three optional paths to start in were a bit much. Took much longer then I thought to travel around and after a bit got quite tedious.

Now each level will be more compact and focused. Hopefully it will also allow me to finish sooner.. :)

Comcast is also coming thru with some much anticipated news.. My ftp will be bumped up in size from 25 mbs to a full GB which means the full game will be released instead of a smaller cut up demo.
I can also throw up the source files so people can see how my warped mind works.. :) My code is probably eclectic and strange and how it works I still dont know.. :)

There are still code ideas I need to finish up but the core is finished. I plan to add some trigger "behaviors" which will be a set of triggers that do various tasks but be more flexible. Ie a switch that opens a random door. I have a few but would like to create a library of triggers.

Other then that now that the weather is cold and I am more inclined to stay inside I will be focused on completing my game. As long as I dont get hooked again on Joint Ops Typhoon Rising. :) COOP rocks..
If you play you may see me in there as ReconBerk. if not then nevermind..

well here is a small picture of a new level.. :)



Til next time
