Mapscreens

by Tifu on Jan.17, 2010, under The Legacy of the Worms, Work in Progress

Currently working on one of the more dreaded parts of Legacy of the Worms’ gameplay. The map screen.
Map

The map screen will (and currently does for all of the rooms shown above) track where you’ve left any items. So if you drop a key in the library to make room for something, and forget where you left it, you will be able to check the map screen and easily see where all the items you’ve left lying around are located. Very convenient!

So the next complicated step I have to do is make the game map work in a similar way to Silent Hill maps – it will track which doors you’ve checked, which are locked, which are open, and if you find anything odd (such as puzzle devices). I have been putting this off due to how hard I think it will be, but now that every room in the game is coded and put in the game, it’s probably time to get this done :)

Still working

Still working on The Legacy of the Worms :)

Game isn’t just about dark caves! Mostly I’ve been working on the artwork for this part of the game, and the final area of the game… the middle part being pretty complete. Maybe that’s an odd way of doing things, I don’t know… anyway, a picture:

*update*
I just realised the end of the demo says ‘Coming 2009′ – that’s obviously not happening :)
However, the demo also says “over 160 screens” and we have more than doubled that – so the game is taking longer, but it’s much larger than expected too. So, good news and bad news, I guess…

Legacy Bug Fixes

by Tifu on Nov.08, 2009, under The Legacy of the Worms, Work in Progress

A few people who played the Legacy of the Worms demo experienced a bug similar to the image above. I’m not really sure what the cause of this was, but it affected all the sprites in the game, but only happened to some people. Anyway, happy happy news, as I redid how the game handles graphics so the bug is no longer present. Huzzah!

Happy Halloween

I think it was Halloween 2007 that I was playing horror games at Jay Is Games and thought I should try one of those horror game doodahs. Didn’t actually start the game till a year later (was still working on PPZ3). Can’t really post much screenshots without spoiling things, the problem of a horror/exploration game I suppose… here’s a sketch from the level design of the area used in the demo anyway :)

Just want anyone visiting to know the game is making good progress, even if I can’t prove it ;)

Powerpuff Z Videos

by Tifu on Oct.27, 2009, under Powerpuff Z III

I should really have linked to some of these earlier, like… months ago. Anyway, here are some links to some youtube channels that have posted videos of Powerpuff Z 3 plays. If I have missed any, let me know!

  • HeroMario101 – is a fan of Bell :P
  • CNTheMaxx – has a couple vids
  • RCBlazer – has quite a few, telling a story
  • ChaosriderXZ – has a guide on how to beat story mode on hard difficulty (spoilers for story I guess)
  • BiggestLoser1000 – has one video which shows off the BYOF nicely :)
  • Pretty awesome stuff. I feel almost famous…
