Project Nimoy : First Milestone

Last week went a lot better than expected in terms of learning Action Script 3.0. I found an excellent tutorial on the setting up Flixel and using its code. It definitely does a great job of taking out the bulk of the programming and allows you to focus more on the gameplay.

I managed to get a first (milestone? pre-alpha? prototype?) version of the game complete. All the gameplay elements are there, including a victory and loss state. Most of the time was spent learning the ins and outs of the Flixel engine, but there's still a lot to learn.

The game needs a LOT of polish, movement tuning and AI work, sounds and music, transitions....a lot. But I'm pretty stoked I managed to get a first version done and published.

You can check it out here .

I'll keep posting project updates and new versions. I'd like to have this finished by the end of next week.

Hopefully Mass Effect 2 doesn't get in the way too much.
