Coloraze Dev (b)Log

Posted by Siert on June 11, 2008, 10:23 p.m.

seeing that 64 digits is short on new blogs I decided to make one . =)

So, coloraze news;

first off, it needs a new name, I could use spectrum, but that doesn't sound like the kind of game I'm making. The reason I want to ditch the coloraze name is because I its origin. Originally it was color+maze=coloraze. That doesn't really fit what spectum was going to end up being. I would still put spectrum under the puzzle category but it isn't exactly a maze. Come to think of it, coloraze wasn't the right name for the original coloraze.

second, private alpha is coming out tomorrow, just for you special few to test the new blocks and see how I've ported the old. after that I'll start on the level editor and make a public beta.

third, music time is coming up. I want some original sounds and music for this game, instead or copied music from flashkit. If you're up to it, post. Credit will be given.

A surprising feature to spectrum that kind of worked itself into my code is that every block can be any color you want. Although in the final release there will probably be a palette of about 10-15 colors.

One of the reasons I am writing coraze into spectrum is the fact that every different type of block/key was its own object. Now there are only two objects, objWheel and objBlock, instead of about 20.

Ignore typos/capitalization errors because I'm typing fast on my iPod.

The reason why it doesn't feel right is because it's colouraze.
