The details here\u00a0are bit hard to see in this scaled down front pic, so if there’s ever a time to click on the fullsize screenshot this is it.\u00a0 The base particle effect engine is in place, though I will need to program a few more conditional uses for them aside from weather and environmental effects.\u00a0 That said, I’ve added fireflies, rain, and prototype for snow (didn’t draw the texture yet), each with their own movement patterns and frequency.\u00a0 I’m really proud of how much I’ve gotten done regarding the look of the game this weekend, it’s the first time I’ve touched anything other than animation for months.\u00a0 Now that the weekend is done I get angsty I have to go back to work when I could be making even more progress… but until I can figure out what kind of simple games\u00a0to make on\u00a0XBLIG quickly to cover my production time I’m stuck using “the grind” until this project is done.\u00a0 I actually have\u00a0some thoughts about that… but that’s for another blog entry.\u00a0 Anyways, hope you enjoyed the new screenshots for this weekend, sorry that I’m stuck in the opening map still but I haven’t drawn the road\u00a0and building graphics\u00a0yet for cities – all in good time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
