Nice! Now that you have the game developed this far, what are you planning to do? Iterate on Shellcore some more, or delve into another game?

I'll probably make some basic AI first so that it can be a one-player game as well.
btw- How did it run on your computer?

I have a very specific plan for Shellcore, and this is v0.33. Every development point is worth 0.03 version points, so I have over 2/3 of the game to create still. The biggest upcoming things are powerups, level mechanics, a level editor and AI.I'll probably make some basic AI first so that it can be a one-player game as well.

I didn't note any issues on my computer at work. It lagged a little at the beginning, but I had a lot of things running at the time.

Back to this question though:
Right now I'm actually considering doing a side-view adventure game. Hopefully in the spirit of Knytt. Nifflas is my favorite indie developer, mostly because Knytt is my favorite game.
I was in the midst of commercial gaming, (as a gamer) and recently I got feed up with the violent nature of almost every single commercial game. Ironically the games that I have made thus far are far from non-violent, but I'm praying for change, and hopefully my future work will be relaxing and fun.
Sincerely,
Kevin
