Nearly done!

The game's getting MEGA close to completion! There's just some things I need to finish off, and polish up.

Oh, I also just received a cool shirt with that damn sexy turtle on it. Yeah.


Damn shexy! If you like, seriously want one, you can buy it here: http://www.zazzle.com/Funnyleb

It comes in all sizes, male and female (make sure you click the right one. :P)

Oh, there's also a mug if you really want one. =D

Phew! It's been a busy day! I've got LOADS done on the game, you'll be happy to hear.

Completion list:

You can now earn coins
You can spend the coins on 2 out of five things in the shop (the other 3 haven't been coded yet)
There's an ingame menu
There's a start menu

---

Now, this may not sound like a lot, but trust me, it is. Everything is controlled with the keyboard, by the way. Makes it a good game to play for gamepad users.

Now for some images:





Well, thanks for reading, I'm going to go take a shower...

The story (and items)!

Hey! I guess some people looked at it this time...

Anyway, in this post I'm going to explain what the game is going to be like. To start with, the story of the game:

The mother turtle's babies were taken away by a seagull, and dropped into the ocean. Mother turtle is worried, so she dives into the ocean, and tries to save them. Unfortunately, she is not strong enough to get as far as her babies, so she must train herself up!

Well, yeah. This game is one of those "get as far as you can!" games; like kitten cannon. Obstacles such as a range of fish and rocks will injure you (there will be health. 0 health = game over), but items such as a can, or a plastic bag will aid you! Some items will give you a boost, whereas some items will just give you extra points.

Here are some pictures of the items:



And yes, that first one is underwear. :P

Wow, new game?

Haha, I guess no one visited... well anyway, that thing was ages ago, and was sadly never finished. Oh well, out with the past, in with the new.

I've started development of a small game based on a turtle that I designed ages ago using a simple pixel art method. With Knyh (who's making sprites for the game) I'm slowly, but surely, making a small game. At this moment in time, there's hardly any gameplay whatsoever. You can move the turtle up and down, a submarine goes past every once in a while, there's an animated sea bed, there's a distance score and a bubble is generated every once in a while. It's all very pretty.

Now, screenshots of the game so far:




The first image being of the turtle that I designed, with the distance score and the animated sea bed. The second image being of the submarine (made by Knyh) which is awfully like a certain yellow submarine.

Now, many other sprites HAVE been produced, but I have not yet implemented in the game. They'll be seen shortly. Until then, bye!
