Developer Diary Day 8

Hey everyone! its been a pretty busy week. we've been working away on the new game project(sadly still no closer to a name right now....maybe i should give it a code name?...i'll ponder) So far we've been a bit tight lipped about what the project is gonna be but today i figured might as well give out a few tidbits.

FIRST- Our game features snowmen... (if you figured that out from the Facebook banner would you at least PRETEND to be surprised... we don't ask for much here at Winter Stories Studio. Just your undivided attention, all your love and support, your third born child, oodles and oodles of your money AND for you to act surprised when we give you obvious information... )

SECOND- the game is going to be an infinite runner. (think Temple Run, jetpack joyride or my personal favorite Robot Unicorn Attack)

i've spent the last week working on coding a randomized level generation script. this has been 3 parts successful 97 parts OMG #fail #WhyDoIMakeBadLifeChoices #ShouldHaveBeenADoctor. BUT after lots of trail and error i've got it (mostly) working! randomly i have about a 6 in gap that appears between some ground pieces. but don't worry I'm looking into it. at this rate i should have this issue fixed in another 7 days...

all and all though I'm very happy with our progress. this week I'm planning on putting together a video of some of the process we've gone through so far. just so you can see the prototyping phase of game design.  but I'm need to get back to work! as always thanks for stopping by and please take a moment to leave us a comment and if you haven't yet give us a like on Facebook (its how we know our self worth...)
