I have still to work on the graphics, but the most work for the first 10 levels is done(as you can see the two different landscapes) and in the last week I have fixed almost every bug  . I plan to release first a small preview version with this 10 levels and before I am going to finish the game completely I will write a small tutorial for beginners about the tile engine I used, including the editor. I hope it will help somebody. greets, nicknack Ps:I still have to find a title for the game. Edit:Btw I have made the game to 90% on the ppc. [ Edited Wed Jul 04 2007, 02:18pm ] | ||

So long! | ||

| Registered Member #49 Joined: Sun Sep 17 2006, 03:02pmPosts: 1129 | Glad to see you've finally released a playable version of this game. I took it for a spin, and while as said before I'm not a big bomber-man fan, it's actually pretty cool. From a level design perspective, though, I did find the two guys in the last tunnel of level two basically impossible. I'm not saying you shouldn't have traps like that, but maybe not so early on in the game. I did run into one bug as well. When you disable sound, the first event that would normally cause a sound effect instead causes the game to crash. Eric Pankoke Founder Point Of Light Software http://www.polsoftware.com/ | ||

However, I will note that I have a Dell Axim X5, and I have had problems with sound on other games as well. They just don't usually crash on me By the way, you never responded to your post on group projects... Eric Pankoke Founder Point Of Light Software http://www.polsoftware.com/ | ||

| Registered Member #132 Joined: Wed Nov 01 2006, 10:50amPosts: 99 | yeah i give up the idea of a pure bomber clone, but i have already given up that idea in the development phase of the game. i considered it more as an exercise and preparation for later tile based projects and i still intend to create such. but in the possible case i would continue it, i would rewrite the whole code and that would be equal to write a completly new game. and in the moment i prefer other project ideas... however maybe some new concepts can change my opinion, e.g. a unlimited gameplay feature wouldn't be too difficult to include and sounds good. though i have no plan how it should look like  ,time will bring advice | ||
