Necro bump :)

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted an update (SecondBASIC took all of my time, but it was a necessary project).

I've redone Rusty's AI, and I think it works out better than the previous algorithm.

In the last 2 weeks, I've finished up the title screen, intro cut scene, and the Awards screen.
Here's a video of the awards screen: http://youtu.be/Wzk4kOHWfXA

I have the SRAM functions working, so the unlocked awards you see in the video are loaded up via SRAM. I'm going to get the rest of the core engine finished next, and then start tying all of the pieces together. I also have the box art being worked on now (and it's coming out fantastic), so I'm hopefully going to be finished by mid July with an August release. Of course, things never work out as planned, so it may become a fall release.

I hope you're all as excited for this project as I am!

Cracking news pal. Looking forward to more news.

In this update we have:
- Collision Detection in place (for the falling objects, as well as the explosions)
- Death animation
- Window repair animation (plus the actual window fixing)

Cheers!

Thanks mates!

Here's the latest update/progress video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5OnuPSpT6Q

What's new in this video?
- Fixed Rusty's AI. There was a bug that prevented him from reaching the far left of the platform, as well as a bug that would lock up his throws that I fixed. I also have his objects set to 5 for this demo purpose, but that will change with the difficulties.

- The pause function has been added. I wanted to use shadow/highlight mode, but because I'm using varying priorities on the background planes and some sprites, there were portions of the screen that didn't shadow and it looked awful. Instead, I reduced all of the palettes intensities (incrementally) to give a "fade" effect, and used white for the Pause text, so it at least stood out.

- When you die, you get a few moments of invincibility to allow yourself to move to safety

- Fixed a bug that would make Harvy disappear after his temporary invincibility (not shown in any videos)

- Actual invincibility is in there for when you drink a beer (not shown in the video)

I'm getting close to getting all of Harvy's stuff done, then it should be easy to implement 2 player mode... hopefully lol

This is coming along nicely!  Thanks for sharing the video and the update!

Whew, it's been a while since I gave a proper update.

Anyway, Handy Harvy is almost finished. There's just one more mechanic I need to add in, then finish up the level stuff and awards, but I'm closing in on the finish line.

Here's a few new videos:
