So, yeah, best laid plans and all that. Ended up going to the Zoo with girlfriend, then after that (six hours later) I go to gym, for an hour and a half. At least I got a shower with a naked woman out of it.
Didn’t really get much done gamewise. Despite thinking about working on GameMaker, I ended up dealing with BlitzMax. I did a little quick proto of a controlled player object and enemy object. No shooting or killing or anything, but it wasn’t too hard to get to this point.
So, I guess I’ll continue. Make some prototype graphics and some music.
I’m thinking of some Tyrian/Baryon clone. If you don’t know what I am talking about, then think about Jamestown which is a recent Steam title, and looks like (I haven’t played it) basically like a complete Tyrian clone.
I won’t do anything that fancy, but something simple and workable.
