And it's all coming together.

This is a beutifull time in game development...

When it all starts to actually feel like a game instead of just some primary features.

I've found this feeling at different points in my previous work-in-progress games. With Cosmic Lacrosse I got that feeling as soon as the bright flashing goal image came up and the players instantly teleport back to face-off positions.

Well wait. I suppose it's all the same because I have this feeling now with Cosmic Harvest when I can get all my points, get to my gate and then press a restart button.

I guess what it comes down to, for me at least, is the constant play feeling.

Prior to this update I've had to simply close the game, restart and begin anew. Now I simply press the replay button!


Replaying is definately a prime factor in this feeling of coming together that I have. Auto-spawning enemies definately helps as well. This is way more fun when I don't have to press B to spawn an enemy.


Anyways, here's some footage! I'm definately pumped to see all of these videos in reverse once the game is done.

  1. Ooh! It kind of reminds me of Pac-Man and Berzerk at the same time... that's an interesting combination, I like it!
