Bit Hero DevLog Vid 2 - Various Stuff

Still testing stuff. This time a less intrusive cutscene system, improved Droids pathfinding, tutorial information, deaths :) and how realtime lighting effects would look.

I've set up a small blog for Bit Hero and my other games and Construct related stuff - http://minor78.wordpress.com/

I don't really get the meaning of the comment by 'retrohater'.

Anyways, I've been watching your progress MrFlibble1978 throu the Scirra forums, and it looks like you are doing some nice, short handed games.

But I've noticed that you don't like finishing the games you make :P

To bad, I think that a lot of the games you have made, really got some potential.

Peace.

Thanks. I think retrohater just likes games with flashy HD graphics not 8x8 badly pixeled sprites :). Yeah I'm really bad at finishing games. I get an idea, hammer out the basics, create some basic graphics......and then get bored or sick of looking at my graphics. Then the cycle starts again. I have loads of little games/experiments/engines on my HDD. Thanks for the comment :)

Kinda shame You've abandoned this, looks really great.

Impressive engine and beautifull graphics, just add in level editor and start a community running with level sharing and stuff like that and You've got a real hit.

Only thing that I disliked was the font and Bit-controll screen as those were done with better resolution and somewhat killed the great pixelizd style. But that's just me, I'm allergic to mixing "retro" with modern effects like small particles, fluent shades etc.

Hey thanks for the comment. After recieving a few new comments about this I've opened up my trusty version of MS Paint and started work on some new but still 8x8 retro graphics that might become a new slightly sexier looking Bit Hero.

@MrFlibble1978 Don't think we've forgotten about that!

@MrFlibble1978

That's great news, thanks!

I looked thru some other videos of Yours and found "Me & My Shadow" similarily interesting.

You Sir have a new subscriber.

I feel for you.

Was doing the same thing, but with Game maker pro (never bought it, crack).

Made a game, was kinda happy about it, then got tired of looking at it, start making something new. Repeat.

So I've had a small brake from the mini-game making now, but i'm going to start again I suppose.

Going to try out 'Construct' to see if it really deserves the good comments that they receive, I actually felt that gm-pro was alright :)

At the office right now, so it will have to wait ^^
