Hour 19

It is nearly sun up and with five hours left, things are getting tense.

We have hit major roadblocks and are having no luck getting through them. Tension is high and people are getting grumpy.

I’ve now been awake for 24 hours, only another 12 (Roughly) before I get home. 

I’m thinking about just sleeping in the bath when I get in, wash the sweat off and rest. Just stay there for hours, turn pruny.

Thanks to those who have kept up with the blog. It sucks that everytime I get a chance to update, the current build is broken so I can’t show off what we have already.

Well, back to it then…

17th Hour

So, I’ve got nothing to do just now. Mark and Drew powered on like good soldiers whilst I slept and because of that I have nothing I can really do just now.

I suppose I’ll try polishing up some UI elements and seeing how everything is going code ways.

16th Hour

So I’ve been asleep, the couch in here is very comfortable. Good thing Mark came and woke me or I would never have gotten up today.

Game is pretty much done, just adding things to make it better looking.

15th Hour

So, we nearly have the first build of the game. I’m very tired and very excited to see what comes of it.

Once we have the working game, we will work on polishing and optimising.

Camera has decided not to work so I’ll upload the photos of the game hack on monday.

Until next hour, I’m gonna get a quick nap.

Final Cutscene

This is the intro cutscene for our game Cloud Cover.

Now, back to debugging.

Hour Four

Scrolling Background and flash animation.

Drew is working away on the flash animation for the start of the game which we’ll use as a trailer and upload here.

Mark is working away on the scrolling background which just now, is a blackened city scape.

So everything is going well, still not much to put here though.

Proper Update Whilst we do some debugging

The game we are working on is called Cloud Cover and is for PC. The game features the last of the clouds in its desperate attempt to protect the people of Earth from the cruel and angry sun. 
The game is styled like an arcade game, just getting harder and harder until you eventually lose (We may put in a good end). During the game you must keep the people below from burning to ashes under the harsh sun’s gaze. 

The art style is inspired by Toon World and cartoon styles like Anamanguchi.

That’s all so far, so I’ll write up and show as much as I can during development.
