Raicuparta Interesting! It took me the whole of the vid to realise you were dodging those things haha

Maybe make those things Cats and the player plays a mouse? Seems easier to recognise imo

At first glance I thought those things were mice and the player was a block of cheese ;p

sman118 ahhh I thought I recognised your name. I remember this game from last year? Looking great! Any reason you chose Toon Boom over Spriter?

haha thanks guys. Glad you like the updates.

Michaelb haha yeah you gotta get your reflex gloves on!

Naji thanks and glad you like it

sman118 You know, in the beginning, I did think of that because like you, I got more satisfaction from the close shaves, and I've had some of those where I felt like a reflex god! hahah I'd forgot all about that tbh! But you've done even better than reminding me... I had another little prototype which I was wondering what to do with. It's one of those tiny games that I doubt would carry itself, but is still kind of fun, and since Sheepi is a reflex game really, I think it could work. So I think after x amount of close shaves (shown with a graphic accumulator somewhere), a secret game (the other prototype) could be unlocked and that will be yet another game to get hiscores on..

Yeah collision boxes could work.. or test for a small distance. We'll see Thanks for that!

Another thing I did think about but not sure whether or not it's worth the effort is to have a replay feature. And rather than saving the whole playthrouigh, just the parts with the close shave or something. That's another kettle of fish though.. ;p

Achievements have been a constant thought at the back of my mind, so maybe that'll be the next update... ;p

Still got the boring hiscore table to tidy up a bit though... but it must be done :p

Michaelb yeah that's probably what I'll do.. still quite a bit of work left to even release as a free demo

Updated main post with the new version which now finally - after much procrastinating on the idea - has parallax! Couple of glitches that I'll iron out but nothing that affects gameplay at all.

Awesome graphics, effects, anims... and gameplay? Looks fun enough

"Oh hey, nevermind me. Look at that guy!!"

If you mean to show even just a bit of the item that's in the display area but the rest cutoff, then you'd be looking at masking (EFFECTS - the manual should help with that).

Otherwise, just don't show / create the items that aren't within the popup's display. For this you'll need arrays.

Been hammering away at Sheepi..

digitalsoapbox Yeah I only seen the first season I think. I was impressed by the simplicity of the style. I always admire shit I cannot seem to do - I'm a sucker for detailing sh*t to the max ;p

Your style is more Samurai Jack than Roadrunner backgrounds now that you brought SJ up

Michaelb very true that!

I do plan to publish, but not sure which way I'll go with it (ads, premium.. etc etc). That's a constant thought for me... ;p

Been silent on the forums because I've been working on getting this to a standard where there are no bugs and gameplay is balanced enough. Quite a big update really - coming shortly. Also, polished the graphics some, changed the scoring mechanic (if you were frustrated with the one before - collect a star for a point - you'll be even more frustrated (in a fun way I hope) with this one ;p). It's not that the game is hard, but it is still quite hard to get 3+ points ;})

I wasn't really prepared for the bug ridden aftermath that came with each big change...

digitalsoapbox yep I'm aware of those animators ;p

But yeah, Samurai Jack! That's probably what I was thinking of but only seen a few eps of that and waaay more Roadrunner from childhood so...

Work out how many hours you spent on it and how much an hour of your time is worth. Multiply those together and you have a base price to work with. Now that you have a base price, find out your client's budget and go from there. Most clients will tell you how much they can spend.
