It's done now. I'm just adding in some more collectables, and fixing the bug and balancing. Sent to Pineapple for testing last night and he had some good suggestions for the music (adding fade outs etc), as well as getting some quality feedback. Just need to do some bug fixing and tweaking.

But just a word of warning this isn't a traditional platformer. It's kind of like Myst (even though I never finished that). To play on being an alien you can't talk to anyone and little is explained. But you can't die and it only saves when you do a task, so there's nothing to worry about. There's no punishment, but the game itself is very challenging in working out how to beat it. Does that make sense?

It was going to be out tonight but I was whisked off to dinner. Nothing exciting happens ever and then all of a sudden everything happens at once. Actually met up with Zane (if you oldies remember him) who's now a radiographer.

Also got an email from Mumiy Troll today wishing me the best on this project. That's the band who wrote the song that inspired this game, and they're very excellent and very unheard of outside of Russia. I think they're on iTunes but they're definitely on eMusic - so go forth and buy all their brilliant music, like!

I have been wondering as to how you all do your lighting, particle, laser beams, etc etc special effects. I know it has something to do with either hwa, lua, or both. I just got the lua manual yesterday so hopefully I'll pick up something. I just hope that HWA doesn't crash for me.

Looking forward to this!

Actually I can only throw the same number of particles in Software as I can in HWA. It's just that in this in HWA I've got a lot of background objects (so much it causes slowdown in Software) and active backgrounds too. I'm still only using 30 max on-screen weather particles.
Might have to do a tutorial on this kind of stuff. I rather like them.

Do you still have a copy of Simon the Monkey? I thought I did but it's lost amongst the backups.
