F4D design blog... (Video)

Captured a quick video, so you guys can see the game in motion.

The music is another teaser/preview of some of the in game music.

Now I'm coming to the part I dread the most: Making stuff for the player to hit with the sword.

Heh, I only started today.

Anyway, I have a few ideas. None of them involving winter as a core concept. I mean FFS guys, I'm sitting in the middle of summer here :P

I do have a way of tying 'winter' into my game though, but I'm not focusing on it.

Anyway, fast-paced labyrinthine platformer. Simple art, not-so-simple music, exploration and puzzles. I've been playing too much La Mulana.

I'll just use this blog to update stuff as I work.

For now, have a music teaser:

I love the N163/2A03 combination. So much potential.

UPDATE #001:

Did some basic artwork, got the walk-cycle done, decided on an art style and generally mucked around:

Spent most of my time today making a message box system that wasn't the native one. Something straightforward, familiar and simple:

Uses execute_script() to allow for different behaviors per selection. I uploaded this system as an example, and it should be available whenever somebody gets around to passing it.

UPDATE #002:

Basic platforming is done, using some slightly different physics that I usually use.

Mostly been doing tile work on the outdoor area, checking the collision detection for bugs and putting the pro in procrastinate!

Here's a screenshot:

Oh, and I also started creating a new piece of music, but I won't be showing all of the music off; I need to have some things be a surprise. :P

UPDATE #003

Mostly been mucking around with room transitions, screen shifts, slippery ice, pushable blocks and pressure plates (Along with sections of the ground that disappear when a pressure plate is activated).

I'm thinking of it unleashing a wave/blast thingy when you charge it up.
