Version 0.6.0.2
So this is a bit odd.
A while back I mentioned that I've been adding random junk files to the game from the disk to see what happens. I may have to stop doing that.
I keep finding new files cached in the original copy. There are new files appearing on the original disk. I'm not putting them there. I would usually accredit that to an extreme amount of sleep loss and just plain old forgetfulness, but I am actually incapable of writing to disk. The cheapo reader I bought for this project is read only, there's no way to write to the disk. I've looked through backups that I've made in the past and sure enough, these new files aren't there. Every time I add a file form the disk into the game, a little piece of the game changes in a way I haven't seen before.
This week marks a year of working on this game. In approx. one month it will be completed and out of my hands.
I've put too much time into this. We've just entered Beta.
Usually when a developer reaches this level of schizoid paranoia they need to take a break or stop. I have my deadline. I can't stop. I guess you're all along for the ride.
There's now a whole new mechanic that I've never seen before. I'm marking what is me and what isn't.
-Added icon to Windows version (me)
-Added ANOTHER icon to the windows version (not me)
-Disabled write to disk (me, no longer secure until I can figure out the extent of the dormant code)
-New level, looks a bit like Kilroy (me)
-Changed level progression to one at a time (me)
-During endgame for a match, the ball homes in on the final block (not me)
There's probably some more added as well that I've forgotten, or just lost track of. Things keep changing and I can't notice everything.
Oh well. Development is on track. Be back with updates.
