Nearing the end

The first post in along time… sorry.
Expect a lot more over the next two months however! As the project is getting close to the end!

I don’t want to say the final stretch as it’s certainly not there yet, there still needs:

• Testing and then balancing.
• Checking to see it meets standards.
• Levels finished/tweaked.
• PS3 version testing.
• Digital storefront stuff.

For now here’s a first pass of some of the store stuff!

Icons for the PS3 and PSP respectively.

And the game description (just a draft for now), this one is the PSP version.

More updates to come soon! Really!

The game has a name!

So this is the name going forward, it might still change, but for now i’m liking this!
Any thoughts?

Working Title

So with this post i am also going to be updating the name of the blog because…

The game now has a working title!

A better one than before at least…

So welcome to the development blog for…

 

So yeah, it’s a working title and at present very unlikely to be the name i publish it with.

A couple of reasons for this…
A man in the know pointed out that it might not be special enough to stand out against the many titles ill be published against.
(Sadly i agree with him)
It also might sound a bit like a tower defense game? And seen as it’s not that id like to avoid such a link.
Worst of all… it sounds more like anti virus software!

But for now it’ll work as a title and placeholder ingame!
I have added it in now so the menu is looking pretty sharp in my opinion, especially at this early stage.

New Year Summary (Part 1)

Its been a while since the last update!
Didn’t end up posting… at all.. over the holidays like i wanted.

But i have been busy!

The main update is that now, the game has more than just place holder graphics!

That is the menu screen as it currently stands. Almost. It is the last thing i added just today.
It isn’t all of it either, obviously its not the right resolution to be the whole thing. 
What i want to add later is an animated side piece showing summaries/designs of things in the game.

I say later as this is a very secondary thing, game play is the priority.

The menu isn’t even final!
But that is what it would look like style/text wise.
The text is drawn, not a font, as i couldn’t find one i liked for the games menu’s and titles.
The image also shows how menu items look when selected, non selected items are bluer and less… “glowy”

A lot of the game now has almost complete graphics…

…almost complete as they maybe subject to change… and more animations/sprites will be added later.

Anyway, the other changes i will document in more posts rather than have one huge one.
