Subject: To Igor at first....then anyone else :)
Igor I can't wait for this game now, I've got that feeling you get
when you're young and you're waiting for something you know you're
going to get, but have to wait. It looks pretty special and I can't
wait to see it moving or like I said a long time ago (around about the
time you posted the first pics) flowing.
Also I was a little twitchy as my new game "You-Robot!" Has a multiple
mine screen in it called "The Machine", which hasn't actually been
drawn yet, in fact I haven't even finished the first room yet. The
multiple room thing will be pretty much cleverly tacked together with
JSW style linking and a portal in the final part which will pretty
much result in you having to collect any items (if any at all) in the
non-portal rooms. But I thought I'd just mention this now so that when
I release "You-Robot!" you know I didn't steal your ideas, however I'm
confident that the rooms will be very different (if they aren't I
guess I'll be changing mine slightly, I'm already going to have to
reconsider using buzz-saws although I may not use them at all cos'
I've been having issues animating them). Basically for "You-Robot!"
since I'm splitting it into 2 files I've been drawing the root sprites
for both of them before I split it. Also I've remedied the one thing
that usually holds me back! I've selected my music, and drawn a title
screen first for a change hahaha!
On a sadder note my fiancee has flown back home today, so I'm trying
to delude myself that everything will be fine although I feel myself
falling apart at the seams already (better get drunk!). I'd be fine
otherwise but I'm not going to see her until I win the lottery or get
my visa through.
Well since after "The Man Who Sold the World" is finished "You-Robot!"
will be my main priority I intend to make it my absolute finest. So
it'll be a while until I finally release it. I may even be able to
release a few games between it and whatever else I'm working on.
Anyway I've revealed far too much about a game I was going to keep
reasonably quiet about.
Cheers
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!
