New Adventures? Blog
6th July 2014
As I sit here trying to code this week's AGameAWeek, I'm struggling.
Not because I don't know what the game's supposed to be. I actually have most of the game planned out in my head, and I think it might be fun, but something else is butting in.

For some strange reason, I can't stop thinking about NeonPlat Adventures.
I'd like to make "Greenie's Communication Tower", but each time I open the code, I instead find myself thinking about the complexities of Platform World Generation, and how much fun I found those early days of building NeonPlat Adventures!

I can't seem to get it out of my head, and .. as of this moment, I've closed the "382-GCT" folder, and instead created a "383-Adventures" one.
Current thinking is that the game will probably be a standard world, rather than NeonPlat one, in that I'll need to draw tiles and things instead of relying on neon glowing stripes to cheat my way through things.
I'll need to draw plenty of world themes, and create a whole swarm of new enemy creatures.
It'll require some kind of world/map system, with a nice "infinite levels" structure, which somehow looks vaguely formatted like the old Calendar version was.

And then there's the level layout thing. That'll need redoing from scratch, because I've a couple of tweaks to consider along the way.

It seems my head's in the right place to start this, and no matter how much I want to carry on with the regular AGameAWeek schedule, I'm going to have to divert from the normal style, to go ahead and do this slightly different task.

I've no idea what this'll end up looking like, and if I'm honest, it might not even be Platdude once all is done.
In all honesty, I've no idea where this one's going to end up.
Prepare for Brand New Adventures..
