Square Off makes Dream Build Play top 20!
Thursday, September 24th, 2009Well done team – looks like all those late nights paid off. We’re especially happy because the standard of the competition was incredible this year. Don’t take my word for it, check out the videos for the top 20 entries, courtesey of Matthew Doucette of Xona Games.
What next for Square Off?
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Now that DBP is done and dusted, we have to start deciding what features will make it into the final game. Obviously there’s a rather large wish list but at the same time we’re all really keen to have our first game released. We’re hoping to get it out by November and we want to have at least 9 levels (currently we have 4). I’ll leave that decision up to Adam and Scott as they’re the ones who’ll have to build them, and I believe quite a bit of blood, sweat and tears goes into each one!.
Level 1 with collision diagnostics
Other wanted/needed features that require coding efforts include:
- High Score table
- Progress saving and loading
- Totally awesome boss fights (at least 3)
- Survival Mode with ever increasing waves of aliens
- The ability to revive your fallen comrades in coop mode
- Some RPG style elements where you progressively build your character’s weapons and abilities
