As dettiekinz has said, Game Center is the reason why the current apps are targeted to 4.2 ... actually, they should be targeted to 4.1 but in the flurry of making a game in 3 days, we forgot to do that. If we release updates for either, they'll support 4.1 most likely.
Game #3 is in progress, this one is a bit of an exploration game which we are all really into the idea of And it's more modular than Smoothie Operator was, so we shouldn't run into the problems we ran into last weekend. I think Josiah will be here soon with the first mockup ... so look forward to it I guess ...
New Game!!! Week 3. The team's plodding away and making progress on the "little toy." We intended this weekend to be a small project week because we're all still reeling from the aftermath of Smoothie, but it's yet to be determined if this one will actually be small in an ideal sense or just small relative to Smoothie. :/ There's already over an hour of footage to be reduced to a few minutes. So, wish us luck! The team will post updates of their progress shortly.
Last weekend held a doom close to our weary souls as we fought for a wonderful cluster of pixels that would result in a virtual Utopia. Failure whipped our faces like a tiny tornado of glass when the clock seemed to spring to life and move its arms quicker than when dogs have sex. I have learnt much about the world of colours and transparency and am discovering a new power within as I am challenged to stive for a goal so high I would finally get to see what clouds look like up close! I felt like I failed even though we created a game that would've seemed impossible to make in a weekend. ... MONDAY! MONDAY! MONDAY! Excitement was quickly put out when the weekend was over and the trip to the ice caves with my wondrous new jacket and lovely not-as new boyfriend was halted but an over eccentric man that stood proud on the road. After obsessing about his gigantic television monitor he would get from working that one day he told us a cloud of deadly snow and wind was awaiting us on the roads to our destination. Returning our beautiful short lived road trip-mobile back to the rental place with the suspicious ethnic lady and the man that looks like he was born to live in an action movie we felt some sinking in our hearts. Now a few hours of school and Minecraft later it is the weekend again! Our third weekend. I came to a conclusion about our past weekend that I have learnt so much more in not succeeding than I have succeeding. This is unfortunate and downright sucks balls BUT Having learnt so much from last weekend this weekends game will be amazing! I am learning a bunch about pixel art. So again I am out of my element. My back hurts like a bitch. I suck at sticking to a certain style of writing. STILL nobody has bought me a kitten. but @ least we are making a badass game my super hott man toy is standing while programming beside me I'm not dying...i think? AND Berni gots me some Peaches! Today is good<3
Yellow Sticks Mean Yellow HAPPY I am Lopi. See the little yellow guy? Yeah, that's me. See the brown? Yeah, that's dirt. See the black? Yeah, that EVIL...or just a cave. I am Lopi.
Stephen here ... been working on getting the levels to randomly generate nicely, and persist as you move between them, etc...just got all that and here's a screenshot! Yeah okay, it doesn't look much different than Lopis, but let me tell you, there's a lot more code here then there is in his! I swear it!
GEMS!!....BAAAAH!!! 0_o I made some gems...it took too long. its okay cuz we are uber far ahead supposedly <_< ... I should start drinking my rum...and see how long it takes for everyone to notice. Sad part is..they probably wouldn't =_= I'm just psychotic as it is BUT knowing is the first step. I am excited I now know what i'm gunna be next halloween. Also I am stoked for DIRT it is going to be awesome! I wish it was play testing day. -Jen
Your faith in our power of observation is depressing, Jenna Anyways, new screenshot, same level as last time but with new art:
In my case; this lack of faith is not so misplaced, seeing as I only get updated with the game's progress through this thread! Cheers!
Wow... Dirt looks like the best one yet! These really need to support IOS 4.1 so I can jump on the bandwagon.
We're gonna try and support as far back as we can - no Game Center in this one as it is not score oriented. Care to PM me your device id, and we can set you up to help beta test this one?
MOrning...MOOOOOOOOOOOrning I am Lopi. And it is the morning of the second day. Yesterday we stayed up until three in the morning and got most of the game's functionality completed. I think we got almost ALL of the functionality completed. Today is gonna be AWESOOOOOOOOOOME. I am Lopi.
So, marginal bit of the internet. We meet again and you sit here on my desk, glaring at me with all your blue-light malice. I realize I should be held accountable for my life - and so confess that yesterday's video is still not done, and most likely will only be up later tonight. I probably should care more seeing as you will most likely flog me with "internet nomenclature" of the negative kind, but my head is hurting quite significantly enough that it's almost-but-not-quite debilitating, and so you may instead go ahead and play Trivial Pursuit on YouTube while you wait for our video to eventually-finally be up.
