Been down sick for the last few days. Very little progress.
Played through and balanced the ‘dust’ level I mentioned last time. Started on the final basic level, tentatively titled ‘Shore’. It’s too rough to screenshot, right now.
Itemized the stuff I have left before I can consider the game done.
In no particular order:
campaign levels
add shore
add ridiculous boss level
tutorial levels
drilling/powering only
crewing/launching only
defending only
graphical tweaks
new scoop sprite
backgrounds for planet levels
more non-nebula backgrounds
new main menu?
sounds
music
campaign screenshots
bomb revamp
misc. tiny tweaks/bugfixes
Probably months worth. Well, certainly months worth, especially at this rate. The question is more ‘how many’.
No idea what I’m doing about music, still. Had a funny idea about talking to a certain group of musicians who I know frequent tumblr, seeing if any of them were interested. No idea if they’d have time in their schedules, even if they were, but being a big fan of their music, it’s probably worth at least talking to them about it, on the off-chance that I could have their music in my game.
But months still until it’s critical. No hurry.
