Here’s a quick update on the status of Run, Humanoid, Run!

I’ve got bombs that explode when you touch them, turrets that rotate and shoot in 8 directions, keys that unlock electrified doors, electrified doors that will fry your ass if you touch them, and robots that… well the robots just stand there for the moment because I haven’t written any AI for them yet.

I’m working without a design doc or an exact game that I want to emulate so I’m not sure of the final direction. I’m just playing with pixels, Flixel, and FlashDevelop!

Working on another quick Flixel game. Once again, I’m using some Gameboy-inspired visuals. Here is the title screen:

So far, all I have done is the pixel art. I’m thinking about trying out the voice synthesis features of LSDJ for sound.

Whew, I finally got around to adding a portfolio page to the website for things other than games (websites, graphic design, etc.). I’ve got some more digging through hard drives to find stuff, so it’s still a work in progress.

An updated curriculum vitae was also added on the About Me page.

Gunpei Mania is a simple space shooter game that I built to learn Flixel. The graphics are meant to invoke the impression of of the greenish grays of the original Gameboy screen. Technically twice as many colors were used in Gunpei Mania than were available to a real Gameboy, but hey it’s artistic license. The gameplay is inspired by the Atari 2600 classic Megamania which is of course inspired by Space Invaders.

I spent less than a week developing this in my spare time, so it’s not terribly polished. This is the second game where I used FlashDevelop as my IDE and the first game I have built using Flixel.

Busy day today so I haven’t had much time to work on this, but here’s an update showing off Flixel’s particle emitter as an enemy spaceship is being destroyed:

Not my most fabulous title screen, but here’s a teaser of my new Flixel-based project:

I’ve spent all of about a day on it so far, but again, I must say Flixel is awesome.

Here is an updated screenshot of my current project. Visually, not a lot has changed. In terms of programming, it’s much further along than the last screenshot. Not much got accomplished this weekend thanks to the little guy in the last post, but that’s okay.
