SJ Update (1/17)

Seraphim's Javelin Update 1/17:

Did some work on the magazine rack for the grocery mission.  Need to do some photoshop work.  Got some pics for it, but I really want to make some changes to it.  Might not be very trivial.

Have some ideas on how the investigation will continue later on.  This will tie up a few loose pieces design-wise.

My plan is after I finish up the magazine rack, I'll focus on linking to the next mission.  I'll worry about Ford later.

Some good news for people

Done with CC for the time being.  Going back to SJ now. ;p

CC update (1/9)

Christmas Carolyn Update
 Alpha 1

Time slipped away for me.  I had enough time but I mismanaged it.  Spent too much time on stretch goals and didn't factor in my schedule.  Had less free time in the latter part of the week so I had to do a mad scrabble to finish everything up.

Warning: Lots of untested code.  I don't know for certain if you can reach an ending or not.

I plan on continue with bug fixing later on.  Maybe even add in more features.

CC Update 1/3

Christmas Carolyn Update:

Finished up more with the boss.  Main event is in place now.  Need to figure out if I want an extra step for the true ending or not.

Right now the true ending feels too obvious and too easy.

For the time being, I'll leave it as the too easy way.  Once I think of something better, it shouldn't be too hard to change it.

Contest Entry: Christmas Carolyn

Time's up for the contest.  I didn't get as far as I'd like.  I really overestimated how much free time I would have.

That said, it's short and incomplete and available for play.

TFGS Thread

I guess the main problem was when I did have some free time, friends and family were around.  So working on the game during that time proved very difficult.  After it was clear, I can't finish on time, I just tried to clear it up as best I could and find somewhere to stop.

Anyways, enjoy it.  I need to caught up on sleep and get back working on SJ.

Update 12/18

Update on the progress so far on the contest game.

Had a block for a while.  I didn't like the gameplay and the options presented to the player.  It felt interesting to me but didn't feel very interesting to the player.

I changed up a few things and I like where the game's at and the direction it's taking.  I have a very clear view of how to proceed with the game.

Some bad news

Got some bad news.  I found out there's a tfgamessite contest going on.  Normally, I'm well aware of any contests on the site, but somehow it slipped past me.

In case it wasn't obvious, I love contests.  Deadlines give me something to go for, otherwise, I become too much of a perfectionist.  I have yet to release a non-contest game.  Even SJ started as a contest game.

What this means is I'll be focusing whatever little free time during the holiday season on getting a contest game done (hopefully) and not much so on SJ.
