Subject: Bizarre and other stuff
Bizarre is comin' along slowly, roughly half a screen a night and I
haven't made a font for the text or a title screen yet. It's takin'
me a long time cos' I'm trying to tweak the sprites perfectly, as
some of the guardians are as large as 6 sprites and fully animated. I
am yet to draw a guardian that is a soldier on all fours but it's
limbs are large robotic spiders leg type things. dunno what room I'm
gonna put it in, and haven't thought of a name for it yet. Even
though this game at large in the early stage contains a few tricky
jumps and some evilly placed sprites and fire blocks, it's pretty
easy but fun is my aim with this one not so hard your hitting pause
every 2 seconds (Sorry Andrew). Although I do intend to put my
hardest ever room slap bang in the middle of this game. I can't
disclose the name as that would ruin everything.
Also I notice that the reference to the simpsons in this game has
been noticed, I'm glad. I think some of the rooms in my other games
have simpsons references in them. Also I've been playin' a lot of
other peoples JSW's and it opened my eyes to the fact that a lot of
the rooms I've put in my games that I was convinced were original and
great, have all been done before. So I was a bit gutted.
Also and this is the most interesting one yet. Tonight in the pub I
saw a girl with a white T-shirt on with The Kari sprite from We
Pretty on it blown up in black. I asked her where she got it and she
said she got it printed. I said where did you get the picture and she
said from a game I've played. I figured I'd bring this info forward
because personally I couldn't believe it! I figured it would either
please or anger Andrew Broad. I was just speechless about it.
