Cube Droid Saves the Galaxy
« on: May 22, 2011, 03:31:23 pm »
For my contest entry, I decided to do a loose port of the flash game Cube Droid Saves the Galaxy, which can be found here.
So far, I'm only in planning stages, but I do have a mock-up of a level to show that it's possible.


(For the record, that's level 5-2).

As for other noteworthy details, I'll try to include as many of the original levels as I can despite my smaller screen size in the Y direction (the original is 12*12 but mine is 10*15).  I am planning level packs, and if I don't have all of the levels in the game I can assure you that the levels will be in a level pack.
I plan to include the cut-scenes if I have enough memory.

So, yeah, that's what my plan is.  I hope I can complete it in time, because for the first half of the contest I'm still in school. :-\

Cube Droid's an awesome game. That's an awesome mock-up. Good luck! Are you planning to add those subtle animations?

Yes.  I've already done the sprites for them too. ;)

Can't wait. Not many calc games have those little animations, but they make a big difference ^^

I received a reply back from the developer of the original game, and I have his permission to port it to the calc.  He also said that if he has time, he'll try to figure out what his algorithms for enemy movement were, as I need to know those to make as faithful a port to the original as possible.

This is nice Ztrumpet. I remember someone posted this before or was making a calc port, and I'm glad you're planning to finish one. The game isn't too hard either, so it should be enjoyable for most people

I've made substantial progress today:  I can load levels and display them.  Though this may not sound like a lot, I've also laid the framework for the rest of the main engine.  It's progressing well.

Thanks, tloz.  I am as well. ;)

Omnimaga and I made the developer's website: http://www.bitsofbas.com/blog/post/24/a-couple-of-cube-droid-goodies  I figured it was cool enough to share, though it doesn't really count as progress of my own. ;D

Project Update:
I keep hitting little bumps in getting everything animated.  It's harder than it looks... :-\
