Thats scary - its as if i may be looking at a mirror of a possible future of me........ shit....
Not really scary. You just end up playing a lot of whatever the current game is you're developing.....and you know you're onto something when you spend more time "testing" than coding it  |

It can get scary, when what you're working on may very well be the "major accomplishment in your entire life" and you know that its a marathon, not a sprint :-) Starting to hate such a project before its done isn't really something which i'd like to happen to me - and i am already feeling the effects |

So right until the very end of a project I am effectively working on the gameplay...which is the fun part and much easier to keep yourself motivated on. I know from bitter past experience that if you finish the gameplay and then spend several weeks just writing boring stuff like menu code then you're really testing your commitment. |

Oh go on then. I've stopped reporting in here as I've stopped working on Tension but I guess this is a general dev blog so I should be reporting other devlopments in here too. So... Tension is still on hold as it's still too big a project for me to tackle in the current circumstances. I could work on it but at the rate at which I can work it would take forever so I'd much rather tackle something smaller until I'm well enough. Tension itself is almost playable but I need to add stuff like music, sound, FX, powerups etc etc and then set about designing and tweaking all the levels.....no small task. It will be done though In the meantime I've been doing several puzzle game demos as they are relatively quick to churn out. Based on those there are a few that I'll develop further at some stage and one in particular that will be ready for testing soon (soon being another relative term ) |

Oh hold while I wait for music and sound FX as that's the last gameplay element I need to get sorted. Currently doing a little bit on Tension again and preperation for new and improved Crack. |

Not quite so fast on the puzzle game front. I said "last gameplay element" for a reason Only once that's done can I code and balance the various game styles and then finally I still need to build a whole new menu system (I could use the old one but I fancy doing something a bit different with this game) |

Cracking on here So all is good in the world of the Zoo ? Not exactly. That's why I've had to prioritise things differently and progress is slow. We'll get there eventually though. |
