Sorry for the fact there hasn’t been an update for a while, but I’ve been spending the best part of the past week working on my assignment. I would love to show you what I’ve done so far, but it’s far from complete (about 60% away – or 160% based on the Pareto principle), and I’m not planning on releasing it to the public until it’s been submitted and marked.

So far I’ve built a simple game where you have to run around a dungeon collecting bags as they fall from the sky, in addition to the basic functionality of a second game, where you have to bounce people and bags, who jump out of a tower’s window, across the floor to safety. Sounds weird huh?

The last two games involve throwing items over a wall, and jumping across platforms. I might add a fifth RPG style game, but that depends on how well I get on with the rest, and if they cover the criteria I need for the assignment.

Although I can’t show you the game, I can show you it’s characters:

Created by Sofi, who is creating all the graphics I’m using for this game, they’re named, left to right, Suitman, Woman and Dude.

Anyway, the assignment is due in on the 18th May, over a month away, so I should have plenty of time to get the project finished, I just need to try and find time for my other three assignments.

UPDATE: Whoops, I almost forgot, very big thank you to Fruitloop for all the help he has been giving me.
