Slow But Steady

Work is still progressing on Solar Cycle. It has been going pretty slow, but the progress has been pretty steady.

We are going to be re-designing the gui a little bit to make it easier to follow. Some people have complained that there needs to be a tutorial/how to mode. We thought so to that's why we put one in, but people have seemed to miss the button that says how to. So we are going to be moving that to the main menu.

Other then that the levels are progressing well. I feel that we are going to have to re-design and re-order a few of the levels to give it a more coherent feel. Right now some of the levels feel like they were just tossed into the mix. I think that a basic approach that starts with small levels and works toward big levels will be better. Under this new idea the levels in the demo will be re-ordered. In the end this will probably be a good thing as it will make sure that the first 10 levels of the final game do not play just like the demo does.

We are still looking for some kind of a response to the demo. We have only gotten a few comments and they were very minimal. Mainly about the tutorial/how to mode. You can view my my blog about the demo Here. It has some screen shots and the link to the demo. Also you can check out the GGE page Here.

We are shooting to have Solar Cycle completed by the end of the month. So it's going to be crunch time for the rest of the month to make sure that it gets done.
