Updates and More Games

So I said I would get a post 'tomorrow.' It has been a very long time since that tomorrow. With that stated here is a link to the Facebook page from Cinder's Challenge. https://www.facebook.com/CindersChallenge
And here is a link to the submitted game for the jam. http://globalgamejam.org/2014/games/cinders-challenge

On to the more games portion. The Dungeon Crawl now has all of the current Items and Abilities in a nice little spread sheet. I lie. It''s not little. I currently have 22 different abilities and 35 different items. I'm currently going through and adding in various things such as names, types and whether something deals magical or physical damage. I still haven't spent much time creating the various rooms that I want to use.

Other games:

I've built another card game from the ground up based on Tank combat. I've spent a total amount of time equating to a little over a week designing the game and have already managed to test it successfully. Combat is based on a 'Seconds' timer and the reload speed of the tank determines how frequently it fires in a given round. The resource used to build the various tanks is called scrap. Scrap can be acquired from discarding something from your hand or destroying enemy tanks. Some things that still need work are mechanics involving tank armor and accuracy. I began using a 6-sided die to determine the success or failure of shots but have since moved over to a 10-sided die due to the added flexibility it gives. Armor is used each combat round to reduce initial damage. It gives the tank a second health bar to use which is refreshed each turn. Players also take actions at the same time.

In addition I'm working with a few people on creating some very small mobile games. This guy being created for one such game.

Lastly one of my friends came to me a few weeks ago with the basic layout for a card game he wanted to create. I'm still not sure what's going on with that, but it does look fun.

Non-Game Things:
For the past few months I've been acting at Sunset Playhouse out in Elm Grove. We've been putting on a wonderful performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It's the first theater piece I've been involved with for some time and it's a been a blast. I also seem to have landed a job, though it's nowhere near my field.



Observation:
I should get more pictures...
