Hi all,
Quick update, I am very happy with the progress made with the game this week. The excel spreadsheet and knowing everyone can check it out has motivated me even more. Everyday I can just take something off the list and focus on that. Something as simple as a list is very effective.
Anyway, I feel the best progress was made with the rock optimization. The polygon count is much lower so that should help. I also took a look at some of the particles and cut back on that too. Checkpoints and "collectibles" are done. Both of these are treated a bit differently and how you interact with them. I will provide more details about that later. Fixed some physics issues and had to get creative with the moveable rocks. It was very buggy and I couldn't get it working but a happy accident happened. Ended up becoming a more interesting object for the player to interact with.
That's about it, I will most likely post once a week giving my progress report to you all. Once again thank you for all of your support and continue to spread the word.
Isaac
