My next game...

Posted by Balding Chimp on March 19, 2007, 3:54 p.m.

I bounce around a bit between projects (and I have limited time….way limited!) Too much going on in my life at the moment. Anyway, I had a certain "inspiration" to do this game, as it will be known at a later time. Anyway here is where I am at right now with it…

I am still woking on the rules a bit, but basically I plan on having it where your goal is to make worlds "inhabitable". Molten worlds can thaw ice worlds to make water. Rock worlds can merge with water to make land and oceans, etc.. Different combos.

Planets were rendered with 3Space again and all rotate. I started this last afternoon.

I'll try to leave an animated GIF here of one of the planets…

No way. I had this exact same idea.

Fortunately for you, I'm putting all of my energy into vim, so you're off the hook. For now.

The background…Well, I don't have my own personal "Hubble" and I don't think I have a zoom lense that good for a camera ;) It was a free "wallpaper" for desktops. Same idea, eh? Funny part is I had no intention of doing this game. It's uh… well, you will have to wait a bit for the explanation a little bit after it's done, but it is for a purpose.

ACK!Those GIFs are gona bloat that so bad…Well,you arn't like me with a rep of having games like Espion being 50KBsources(YAY <1MB ZIPS!!!)

Either way,background clashes but the game seems cool.But it could be really bad and boring if not setup right,like just doing a manual type of thing with having planets crash

This blog has been taged message again? Can't I just write stuff? I hope for the "very little content" reason. Obviously not trying to "brag". I was going to add more, but my girlfriend had to use the phone "imediately" (major stuff happpening around here) so I had to get off line. Thought what I had would be ok. Sorry if I "broke the rules". Just wish they were looser I guess.

Ya,they need to be less crazy…I've seen cruddy blogs slip through while this is fine
