Jayenkai	I started thinking about this collection a long long time ago, and you probably remember my "Draw Things!!!" thread, where I asked for silly gfx submissions. Well, it's taken me this long to actually get around to starting on the thing. Over the past few days, I built up a nice sturdy multi-game framework, got all the art loading in a nice reusable way, created a quick and easy way to add new art into the mix, and did a few of those other generic reusable background thingumies that need tackled before starting properly on a project like this. Game Titles will be of the "2 words starting with the same letter" variety.. (I know there's a word for that, but Alliteration doesn't seem to fit, since they won't always be the same "sound"...?) Bobby Bounces, Platdude Plays, Spike Sits, etc, etc.. I think I'm going to attempt one for each letter of the alphabet, so there'll be 26 games in total. Now that the important bits and pieces are in place, the menu's working nicely, and the "Calendar Block" is (hopefully) working as it should, I oughta be ready to go. Tonight I'm going to add Bobby Bounces, because that's pretty much the only game I'm certain will work nicely on all control methods.. .. After that.. ... shrugs I've got about 50 days in which to write 26 games. Eeek! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	So, Q and Z then? Have fun!

rockford	I didn't say Q or Z were impossible. I just said have fun. Looks like you did

Jayenkai	B is for "Bouncy Bobby" -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I've got to get another crap advent calendar again this year - I so enjoyed taking the piss out of it last year.

Jayenkai	Be warned, both the Lego City and Lego Star Wars are already sat down the side of the couch! ... As well as the Yankee Candle one - A candle a day!!!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Hurray

Jayenkai	A somewhat bland, but curiously functional menu! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	... As well as the Yankee Candle one - A candle a day!!!!! Perfect for budding pyramaniacs. Bonkers Don't think it will be a Lego one, but I did see a couple of Playmobil ones I liked. DO IT!!!! Yay! Re: Bouncing Bobby, that looks lovely, although perhaps the rainbow bars should have a little mound of snow on the top of each one?

Jayenkai	I'm avoiding adding snow, except for the particles. If I make everything snowy and Xmassy, then the collection becomes specifically a Xmassy one. I'm trying to make it "open during advent, then... Play FOREVER!!!!" -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 07 Oct 2014, 08:37
rockford	You can make them date dependent - turn off the snow if the month isn't 12. Easy.
Tue, 07 Oct 2014, 08:46
Jayenkai	Hmm.. Suppose for the main menu. But I was avoiding it for ingame, because.. Knowing me.. I'd forget to shut it off in every game, and then it'd all be weird and Xmassy in some game, no matter what the month!!! (26 games in less than 2 months is tricky enough!!) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Looking nice Jay! Best of luck with this!

Jayenkai	Wouldn't be a JNK Xmas Collection without a shitty Centipede remake! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Was thinking about making a Centipede style game myself, I hope it's as easy as making a Snake game.

Jayenkai	Who says I can't come up with games for Q!! Quriously Qubic.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sat, 11 Oct 2014, 12:13
Jayenkai	Yeay!! Advent calendars all 'round!!!
Sat, 11 Oct 2014, 18:50
rockford	I haven't had a chance to get mine yet, but I will. It's going to have to go some way to beat (as in be worse) than last year's one, but I'm seriously hoping!

cyangames	Ohh, 4 advent calendars to buy this year!
