Montelimár lives!

Well, I stumbled across this project again, and I've decided to carry it on.

What's changing:

1)I previously had a relatively experimental score, with short sections of MIDI music being linked together dynamically. I've replaced this with something a bit more computer-gamey and fun.

2)I've decided that as it's no longer for last summer's funtition, I no longer need to abide by the strictures of only-doing-what-you-could-do-using-TGF. Hence layers, ink effects, etc

3)I've also decided to improve/overhaul the graphics and make the more detailed/less blocky

I've still got just the one level. The good news in that it's now [i]unbelievably difficult[/i]. At least it seems so to me - I'm not the most seasoned gamer. Suffice to say you have to do most of it in the dark.

2 days to go

I've decided to carry on with the project, so it's a race against time to get it finished before the deadline!

May have to pull out of the competition

I think I'm going to have to pull out of the summer funtition due to real life constraints. Which is a shame for me, because I wanted to win! Or, failing that, to take part.

I think I've got a good start on a game though, and plan to see it through.

I just can't decide whether to keep within the TGF-style limitations, or to take advantage of newer technology. An array save would certainly be nicer than INI.

In other news - I've finished the first level, and made substantial progress on the second. I think that's half the battle, as more than level design, creating the first level meant pretty much planning and executing most of the creative and gameplay decisions.

I've also got a plan for structure, and now the grunt work remains to be done.

Screenshots, still scrappy
