Ouya blog video 1, quad-based sprite engine, CREATE Game Jam

This is the first real installment of a mini-series I'm doing to record progress on our entry into the Ouya CREATE game jam contest.
I wanted to show progress, and this is the starting point. We got the engine going the past 2 days and now finally I was able to load some graphics. The multiple wall segments show that we can spawn multiple objects properly (but not reclaim them yet).

The main player object, the weird flying pig monster, is actually made of 5 pieces. This is for the gameplay to come later, which will allow all 4 body parts to animate independently, and the body to grow in size and keep it all looking nice.
So it's nice to have the body parts attaching properly and rotating.

Otherwise, it's pretty static, with no gameplay. But this is the starting point! I plan to record the next few days till Wednesday's submission.
