The video of the first iPhone gameplay in the last blog was not rotated to landscape view. I have deleted that video (was very hard to watch) and uploaded a new one now that I know how to use iMovie. Let us know what you think and sorry about that.

Hey All,

We are now 2 months into the development and moving along nicely. This week I finally faced what I thought would be the biggest hurdle in the development and that was getting the game compiled over to my phone.

Fortunately this was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I had s…

I have moved the blog. There were a couple reasons for this:

- Everything will point to the video games own and new dedicated home page:  https://sos-cc.org/the-video-game

- Wordpress is now hosting the blog. They integrate nicely with the video games homepage and I can upload easily fro…

Hey All,

Much smaller update this week. Was focused mainly on code writing. I have finished all the code for the room randomization and have almost finished testing it. So far it’s working great and exactly what I wanted. 

With my calculations with room Type A all being random from a poo…

Hello All, 

I had done a lot of work on the randomization engine.  I had the game running and working exactly like Binding of Issac where every room was completely different with different paths to take until it hit the max amount of rooms and displayed the boss room.  This took me several d…

Hello All, 

As suspected we missed last weeks blog so this week is 2 weeks worth of updates. These past 2 weeks I concentrated on converting all graphics from pixel artwork to vector images.  The main reason why I decided to go this route is because of scaling.  This game is being developed …

Hey All, 

Little bit of a lighter week this week.  We have had a set back in my wife's care.  The next two weeks may be small in updates as well as she needs to have radiation, in addition to chemo, Mon-Fri each day for the next two weeks.  So we have lot's going on and we hope that the radi…

Hey All, 

Another week another great update!  So we have several new features that were implemented.  First, we now have a start screen with a menu.  Right now I'm just using the starting room background for the artwork on the start screen.  This is only a place holder and will be changed.  …

Hello All, 

A lot of updates happened this past week, so this will be pretty lengthy.  Also I cannot believe we are already 1 month into this project. 

We have 2 more enemies that have been created.  We are now at a total of 3 enemies (Germs) that are attacking main player (Sarah).  We s…

Hey All, 

Sorry didn't realize yesterday was Tuesday and it was blog update day, so here is the update a day late.  

The past week we did a lot more work on the actual world layout.  I spent time on the actual viewport, camera, and resolution settings for the game.  This should now be al…

Hey All, 

Wow first of all we are humbled by the amount of views the first blog received.  That was a welcomed surprise.  Hopefully you all see this as well. 

It has been a very productive week.  It's amazing to see the amount of work that got finished in one week but at the same time it…

This is the first week of our Blog Entry.  We hope to update this weekly, if that does not happen forgive us, we are very busy.  We will certainly update when we can.  

We are making this game as a family.  The game will be completely done by my Wife, 2 kids, and myself.  I will do all of th…
