More level work!
by Tom Feni · 05/02/2007 (1:11 am) · 11 comments
Well I have finished 3 more levels and now have a grand total of 7 almost completed.. :)
At this rate I should be done by next year..lol
I have alot of things left to do in the 7 levels I have done now like detail work and some more fine tuning of the code..
The initial Demo will include 6 levels that will consist of the island level which will only allow you to enter the Volcano Levels which will travel thru 5 levels and finish at the entrance to Snowy Mountain. So for now I am concentrating on those first 6 levels to get them ready for the Beta. The first round of testing will consist of 10-15 people who I have already selected. I hope to also send a copy to GG's to see if there is any interest. Then after the feedback from that test I will go back and fix any bugs and go thru the suggestions.. Then I will work on the rest of the 24 levels to get it ready for shipping.
There are many ideas I wanted to add but as I went along I realized it was alot of things to do for one man.. :)
So right now then wish list will have to wait for "The Return of Toby Turtle" (working title) which will have an additional 32 levels..
I hope to finish this project by september of next year (I hope) but for now I am concentrating on the July release for the Beta.
Well now I guess I should show the obligatory screenshots.. :)










More to come :)

Yes, it's improved from the last iteration. Have you decided against icons for things like the keys/eggs etc on the interface?

I'm not sure your UI is relevant ... I think a more rounded UI is appropriate. And using icons insteed of words will allow your game to be played by younger children. Wait a minut ...
Here is a quick rought of what I have in mind :

thanks everyone.. :) I dont know if I will use icons or words, but for now I just threw the words in as placeholders.. I love the stuff you did canon.. wow.. Being a one man army I have to divide so much time into each area and sometimes one area gets left behind in the process.. :) unfortunately for me its the gui area.. :) I appreciate the comments and will take them into mind when I redo the gui's again for the 5th time.. hehehe.. Icons would be nice just have to find the time to make some nice ones :)TomFeni

I think it blocks the screen too much so may lower the bottom hump a bit.. :)
