Game Dev Update - 07/03/2017
It was another week of lasers and art. This week I focused on getting the boss version of the laser into the game and did some work on the city level (Stage 3). The game was also tweaked a wee bit behind the scenes and things like enemy deaths were made a bit more simple. All in all a pretty good week.
Also, I've started to look at GameJolt as another home for Pixel Raiders Alpha Demo and development blogs; and I've got to say I'm pretty impressed. The features on offer are pretty cool and the fact that it monetises through visits to the game is really nice. It's got some other nifty things to like a radio player, great development blog system and a lot of awesome games. If you haven't go check it out here: www.gamejolt.com
So what am I doing this week? My main focus will be getting the Alpha Demo up and running on GameJolt. This will mean I'll have to create new marketing assets, descriptions and screenshots. I'm also going to continue on the city level and if I get time I've got a wee thing I want to add to the farm level.
Done last week:
- LASERS! The boss laser has now been changed to be more like the super weapon the player uses. All red, flashy and super destructive.
- Started work on the new design of the city level to make it less noisy and more in keeping with the other levels.
- Did some research into GameJolt and started looking at how to get Pixel Raiders uploaded to it.
This week's tasks:
- Update the Alpha Demo with the new art assets for the farm level and enemies.
- Create the marketing assets for the Pixel Raiders' GameJolt page.
- Upload the game and create a GameJolt page and release it to the public.
- Continue to work on the city level.
- Add the crops to the farm level to give it that little extra touch.
As usual you can still play the Alpha Demo on itch.io here: https://pixelsword.itch.io/pixel-raiders
