Updates

Well it has been a few days since I have updated my blog, I have been working on the game non-stop and now I have plenty to show for it.

I implemented the penguins with the proper physics and tweeked the user input so that the force was set fairly upon penguin launch. As I said in my last post I would update the graphics and I have done. The penguin now has animations and sounds to accompany set events.

I also added a Main menu screen, which I was never going to do originally but I felt that you couldn't be expected to launch straight into a game without any warning or instruction. An instructions tab has yet to be added to the main menu but that is next on the list.

High scores have been placed into the game and are stored on a server using Playtomic. I had a little trouble getting my high scores read back onto the game but it has since been sorted.

I have also added a credits tab which credits those involved or credits asset sources.

Oh, I added a second level in with a smaller mainland iceberg, therefore making it harder to reach, requiring more force and if that wasn't hard enough I've added in some flying seagulls, in which if you hit them you get forced downwards, so it may just stop you saving the penguin. Each level will have five penguins to save, this might change later on.

The menu background will also change later on.

That is all for now, Ill post some screenshots below so you can see first hand how progress is going.
