another update
I started writing a help file (just simple single html one) for the editor
and after a full page (one screenful) of explaining hotkeys I realised it might be a more complicated program
than I remembered.. and I still haven't started on the model editing shortcuts
anyway
I'm done with rearranging the maps - made the hard decision to not to add more
I really wanted a 5x5 grid but I just don't have enough maps in me
I got enough raw material for it - just not good material
thing is I'm just tired and I had to realise I'm overcooking the game
and need to accept that there are levels and ideas that I can't fit in no matter how good the initial idea was
so I need to face the music .. face the fact there are some ideas I just can't get to work
that only sounded good on paper or I'm just simply not good enough to make work
anyway time for the last push and get this thing completed
still there are a few areas that I just can't let go:
the burgermap so far was nothing but trouble - I made about 4-5 variations for it and none of them worked
I tried to fit the restaurant into multiple existing maps but just doesn't fit
thing is it's an interesting area just not fun for combat
even redid the burger on the top - it now looks worse than ever
it's just an area I really want in the game no matter what
ironically it was first a small little amusing easy to do idea
I'm still hoping for a miracle - some idea where I could fit it
but I might need to let this one go
there are many more scenes I want to add of course
like this movie scene
this one is a bit easier because it only needs a small room
the planet scene I want to definitely add - but it's a big room
it's harder to figure out a good place for it
and for the toilet scene - I might already have an idea where it could fit in
also I finally painted icons for the level select (mostly by painting over screenshots)
getting closer to completion
anyway let me shill ZortchTest one more time (this is the first level of the game you can already play)
until next time!
