The Kiwi's TaleWitchBlasterDerelict Blow Stuff Up

Misc Project Update

Did minor stuff for all of my games yesterday

  • Blow Stuff Up: As per some feedback from Curly's World, fixed the readme to explain how to actually play the game!
  • Derelict: There is now a new gameplay mode: 1 Player Solo. This one plays more or less as a traditional first person shooter, your "squad" consists of a single soldier who has all of the abilities that the previous entire team had. Of course, you can still find "red shirt" Marines to help you out in a pinch.
  • Firestart: Mainly graphical and narrative tweaks. The next major thing I have to finish is a revamp of the menus and terminals before it's ready for release. Don't have time for two player co-operative at this stage.
  • Heart of Ice: Added some basic dialogue (text) to the game. I'll also need to add sound before the next release, not sure if I'll just readd the Global Game Jam stuff or get something better. Also, musn't forget two player.
  • The Kiwi's Tale: Fixed a silly bug that stopped it from saving and loading joystick port settings correctly.
  • Noah More Heroes: Just added it to the Earok Collection launcher. Not really sure there's much more worth adding in the time I have left.
  • WitchBlaster: Went a bit overkill with particle effects, I tried to replicate the flashy effect of the "magic missile" in Heart o Ice. Doesn't look too bad.

Only two more weekends until the Earok 2011 collection has to be ready. I can't see it being as polished as I wanted it to be, but it'll have to do.

Good work - and good luck! Looking forward to it.

If there's anything I can help with... let me know.

Cheers Sam, funny you mention that - I have a half baked Heart of Ice script. I'm not quite happy enough with it to be considered a "first draft" yet, but I'll post it to you once it's ready.

Cool! Up front, I'm gonna say I think romance should be a no-no, but hey - That's just my opinion. And i guess it depends on who's romancing who, and how it's written, of course. Ice-monster and orc romance? Hmm...

Heh.. Ice-monster and Orc romance, I'm sure that would be a hit in Japan. If the Orc looked like a cute girl and the Ice Monster had lots of appendages.
