As suggested by the title, Booommm will be in black and white. In Booommm, you will have to get as many enemies as you can before the timer bar runs out.
With Booommm, I am also live streaming its game development process on TwitchTV. If you want to catch the live streaming, it will be on every Monday, Thursday and Saturday from 8pm to 11pm EST.
I will also be posting blog updates on the WhiteSponge website and here on the game's development progress. So how was the first day of live streaming?
The first day of Booommm was when I stepped out of my comfort zone and live streamed the game development on TwitchTV for the first time.
If you watched the highlight above, there wasn't much game development done in the first day. In fact, there were a lot of brainstorming and planning beforehand.
Usually before I start on developing the game itself, I would create a list of tasks to do to get to the goal of releasing of the game. So if you have watched the highlight above, some of the tasks might look like:
- Layout the logo scene
- Create StartUp Manager to boot start the game
- Layout the starting/main scene
- Create Data Manager to manage the database (also to retrieve the current high score)
I would usually give myself a deadline for each of these tasks. Doing so would allow me to stay on schedule and be productive as much as possible.
So if you were wondering why is the game in black and white? That's because I want you to focus more on the gameplay itself than the game's visuals. I'm not saying that the visuals themselves aren't important though.
With Booommm I am trying to achieve a pixel and minimalistic look. In other words, trying to show more with less :D
So what do you think about Day 1 of Booommm? Do remember to watch out for Booommm and follow me on TwitchTV!
