Dirt Planet

Snow Planet

(Upcomming v1.1.25.2)

Had no net for a bit but continued work.

-Sun is glorious and sets in the background up and down
-Snow works again
-Terrain generates accordingly to the backgrounds
-Lighting fixes
-Mouse has some type of building structure to it, 1~4 keys now select the ore you want to place down, this is in place to get the building objects ready
-Fixed numerous amounts of code
-Terrain HP
-Caves generate much nicer!
-Fall physics! (Not done it'll be done after all of below)

We split the tile sheet to objects/terrain so I have to add both sprite sheets in. Grass leans over the tip of the ground and what not.

I'll add baddies in that you right click to make and there AI adapts to the surrounding area, basic AI but atleast something's in place, much like the mouse interface.

Grouped the Menu better.

I need to add a save/load feature so you can send your friends maps, and a map editor!

So close too all of this!

End of week! 19/2/2011

It's the end of the week and I've been busy learning and working a new tile system that I want in, it will basically extend the tiles too 250 million Instead of crapping out at about 50 million, I've also been studying roguelike and a bunch of other stuff, to better myself, so I have by no means slacking.

List of whats to come.

List of things that I'm trying to work on (Not in order).

Download Link 1 > Download the Normal Version.
 Download Link 2 > If you get YELLOW and GREEN graphic errors, download this.

-Too much new stuff to list is added, download it and try!

Seeing this come together, what we have planned and everything is pretty damn neat, it's satisfying to play at the moment and there's next to no content in it. The graphics are awesome, the gameplay needs some minor tweaks, the code runs delightfully smooth too.

CONTROLS:
-H for help.
-V gets in a mech.
-Arrow keys to go.
-Z to Shoot/Dig.

Enjoy :).

UPDATE 1: I added an option too switch to have lighting off or on, I'll add it in game soon, it's because people are getting these GREEN/YELLOW patchy errors, so just download link 2.

Here's what we have been working on:

-Added underground BG

-NEW BG's 7 of them

-Dirt and stuff gathers again

-Can't fall out of the world

-Debris fly up into your face

-New MechUI (Prototype is in the pic)

-Few fixes from old stuff

-Bunch of other stuff
