Haven’t made an update for awhile been busy with job applications, appointments, and other things.

During this time I had gotten the Android emulator to finally work properly on my PC, and also have access to a device. This is extremely good news as I may be able to actually develop and release games for that market. Which I have been thinking about a lot, and actually have came back to an old idea that may work well on a mobile platform. Not sure when or if I will be working on this but it is definitely an idea/plan that I am looking into.

This idea comes from my 2.5D Unreal Mod Coins that I made a long time ago, except doing it in full 2D, with maybe some perspective I haven’t gotten the graphics details figured out. I feel like it is a good concept for a mobile game because level design is simple, the gameplay mechanics are incredbly simple (run, jump, dodge), and it is overall fun high speed coin collecting fun!

With my editor nearly done, developing levels for this platformer will be incredibly stream-lined, and will drastically increase development time. Also if the game is any kind of success creating new levels and releasing a level pack will be pretty easy. The only development decision I am trying to make right now is whether or not to develop it fully in native code. The plus side to developing it in native code is that it can be optimized much better, and it can be also used to port over to other platforms such as iOS. The downside of it however is that development time will increase slightly. I am slowly leaning towards developing it fully in native code as it can be ported much easier to other platforms.

The other thing I also want to do as I keep mentioning is come up with a re-design for this website. In my adventures in doing web design for a local business I have discovered sooooo many flaws in this current design which to be honest I created using knowledge from doing web development yeaaars ago. So hopefully I can come up with some sort of new web solution as well. I have been also getting slightly better at doing graphic design so that is a plus definitely.

Anyway that is about all I have to say for now. Although under a ridiculous amount of stress/pressure due to what has been going on in my personal life going to stay 100% positive on things.
