Nahhh, I nearly fell asleep whilst working from home today again, seem to have perked up a bit thought tonight somehow. Fixed some lil graphical bugs tonight, although I keep getting distracted. Possibly Covid brain going on, possibly Kiko snuggled up next to me with a cute snoozing audio loop playing on repeat from a TINY bluetooth speaker near her mouth.  View on YouTube I think I need to snooze in bed all of a sudden, can't quite figure out why?! Hopefully I'll make more of a go at the coding tomorrow, each day I seem to be getting a bit better than before Covid wise. Gotta get some cute cerise fabric for her outfit I'm planning out tomorrow also, ruffles and ribbons, ruffles and ribbons. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

Added some code to make the game more PAL safe as opposed to just NTSC, a lot less junk on the screen now. Added flashing invulnerability frames on respawn. Gonna make it so the spawn point is the Hive as that just makes sense really. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

Fixed a couple of glaring things tonight, mainly that player 2 had all their UI and bee in play during a single player game and found a rare crashing bug which promptly got fixed. Might tackle scoring in a moment, depending on my mood.

Aaah, the fun self-made bugs! Many's a time when I've had to reupload a game because I didn't "perceive" the great big giant debug number, right in the middle of the screen!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Showed the current version over at a mates house last night and we happenned upon the idea of having a boost bar which is filled up as you collect pollen, but is drained when you use the boost, adds a nice lil mechanic for speed changes I reckon. Might implement this today but got a busy one! Preview Pic Below:

Sounds like a good risk/reward mechanic. Woot!

I reckon so, it felt like it needed something more to it Having said that my mate said the game was already pretty good fun which is promising. Considering the password system to give passwords every 10 levels so it's not just a case of completing it in a couple of settings but also has restart points in some form. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

Added most of the boost for player 1 tonight, just needs that bar to fill up and reduce as and when, then it's pretty much there.

The trouble with Boost bars is that they contain sooooooo much sugar; you can feel your teeth rotting even before you open the wrapper!

The new code's all there, compiles alright but not executing in the game....weird. Tomorrow...I mean tonight perhaps. Okay, fixed that up, now both bees aren't being affected by hedges. probably a shared temporary variable, but yeah, sleep! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

In only 21Kb!!? I'd be screwed.. Hell, the music in Flappadiddle Amiga is already 18Kb, and that's barely even a tune, yet! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I think the music took up around 8-10kb on Flap Happy to be honest, it was a large chunk of ROM space and all worth it. I think I ended up removing the drum channel from it as Flappy uses that for his flap noise, so it gets quite regular. I still need to get around to the Gameboy port sometime but yeah, Bee Happy is where it's at for the moment. I'm pondering over a seeded random level generator should needs must as I have lots of spare RAM (at least 512 bytes) along with scripted levels (120 bytes of ROM per level) as I'd like for there to be at least 40 levels in this game. Will see how tonight goes once I'm home from work. I guess flood the field with Flowers, then place the hedges in some formation, then place the hive over a 2x2 group of flowers. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

Sent a build over to Mega Cat for a play through on Wednesday, hope to find out what they make of it in-progress in a couple of weeks.

Not sure if it's relevant, or even of interest, but this popped up in my YouTube video suggestions and thought it might affect you in some way. It might just be full on commercial games though. Dunno. I've saved it to watch it later. View on YouTube |
