Yeah, i know what you mean, its kind of empty.  And after you select an option, a text box appears there so you can choose some options, so maybe I should just have it there the entire time?  Any logo or image i would put there would be overwritten :\

Alright, I have built all the rooms, and have them all complete and functioning.  It was harder than I expected, just because drawing them is an imperfect way of creating levels, and there were problems that I did not foresee.  either way, its done! yay!  Not comes the task of implementing everything together, and creating the basic storyline elements, like the conversations, general dialoque, hints, and the whole saving system.  I contemplated putting up my map bmp, but i decided that would be too spoilerish, so instead i have a map of the entire facility without detail.


Light Blue: The prison blocks, where you are first taken.  Very small, only 2 rooms.
Dark Blue: Sector 1, the first sector of the game with 8 room.
Green: Sector 2, a much harder and larger sector, with multiple stories and 10 rooms.
Orange: Sector 3, the final sector, and the one that is just below the launching bay.  12 rooms.

Each sector has an item that you get inside it that is critical for beating the boss at the end (Zelda anyone?).  The parts that will be in the demo will be the prison block, and Sectors 1 and 2, as well as the bosses at the ends of each sector.

I also worked more on the main menu, and filled that blank empty void with a file selection menu that pops up when you load or start a new game.  The screen will also be used to view the help file (which has yet to be created )

Just the light blue, blue, and green.  The orange will be in the final version.

I might add one more section in the final version, but that means i will have to think of another item
I guess there really won't be any size limit, because i plan to use some sort of archive utility in the final version.

hehe, isn't that the file you sent me?

very neat box moving

he might be commenting on another screenshot where you showed the char moving small boxes around

So in an attempt to backup my large group database onto my computer, either TIConnect, or my SE replaced my entire level data program with the token FF, LinReg(ax+b).  This is an enormous setback in progress, as I now have to remake every single room and recode all the objects in them.  I just hope I can get back up in time for the deadline, as I was making good progress until now.
