Developments

Yesterday I found myself trying out a variety of themes, to figure out what does and doesn't work in the new engine.
Here's a brief selection of those tested.


Lava/Rock


Beachball/Duck Pond


Definitely Not Mario, Honest!!!

Don't be expecting all these to show up in the end result, as they're simply tests for now, but they're giving me a good idea of what kinda of extra layers I should be aiming to add into the engine.
I'm also finding myself fiddling with the physics in the different modes, and coming up with interesting new ideas that might be added into the end game.
So, right now, there's not a whole lot of new stuff to show, but there's certainly a whole bunch of ideas flowing from the strange bits and pieces that I'm creating.

Daily Doodle :

Platdude got to the VideoGame Character Convention early. I wonder who else might turn up?

Since there's nothing in my mailbag, we'll instead delve into the oddbin of things that get sent from my old College buddy, Dave.

The random things I get sent from Dave, a guy I went to college with..


Yes, sharing something like a calendar can lead to quite a few personal details being inadvertently sent to other people. Always be careful what you're sharing online, and who you're sharing it with.
On the plus-side, it does make for a rather odd faux-Twitter, I guess! And who doesn't love Icecream Time!?

If you'd like to stuff my mailbag, you can do so right here, at https://bit.ly/AGAW_Mail. Send comments, questions, game ideas, thoughts and more, and they'll probably turn up here, eventually.
