Though not yet playable, the game is finished. I’m just waiting for the last few songs to come in (from Alec and Liam) and then it’s off to the sponsors. Hope that goes well (it should, but, I’ll write a full blog post on that later).

Anyways, wasn’t planning on posting this… but I’m too proud of my own art not to (kind of cocky, yeah, but I am proud of it.. so there).

Also, I’m going to be giving a short presentation on Leap 4 Blue at the Winnipeg IGDA on the 17th. Be there!

Yesterday, I didn’t have to go to work because it was the weekend, and my internet was out due to a thunderstorm the night before. So, without any distractions (such as other peoples games, blogs, twitter, tigsource, facebook, MSN, Skype, Gmail, Steam, etc, etc) I set to work further on Leap 4 Blue.

I only made two new levels (9 left to go!), but I worked on polishing up the game, adding a finish screen, squishing bugs, etc.

Here’s a quick run down as to what I added/fixed:
- 2 new levels
- Fixed a bunch of bugs
- Game now tracks deaths, gems collected, deaths, time, and blocks used
- Created a brand new HUD, which is really, really cool. It allows you to easily sort through the wonderful songs composed by my brother and Alec
- Finished adding sound effects
- Updated some of the older levels to “flow” better
- Fixed some bugs with some levels I had created earlier
- Updated the currents so that blocks flow more smoothly through them, and collisions are handled better
- Bunch of other stuff I can’t remember

So, generally, though I was going crazy due to loss of internet, I made a lot of progress. That list doesn’t seem so big.. but the game looks, and feels, far better because of those changes/updates/additions.

Also, picture:

Game should hopefully be done within a week, and out a week after.

Cheers
