I'd finished off SJ4K on saturday, and all was well. I set up the profile on Mochi, and waited for approval. Nothing happened, so I waited longer. Today I decided that it was time to send them a message to chivvy them, but before that I might as well make sure I was missing anything first. It appears I was; the icon hadn't been uploaded. It appears that when I used a greyscale icon, the upload silently failed. Very fustrating, since the SJ4K release is holding up my other releases.
Other than that, I talked to a friend about sorting out some artwork for some of my games yesterday. It's always been one of my sticking points - I'm just not good enough at artwork and layout, and it makes my games look at lot worse. Obviously this matters less with some games, but it severely limits my options!
Hopefully this will bring some graphics for a tower defence game, initially - I've got the engine written, so it's just a matter of sorting out the details.
On that note, I've got two other projects waiting at the moment - Spaceman 2, and Cave Challenge (or whatever I call it). The latter is shorter and something I'll do soon. The former... I have the code in place to split out the original spaceman game into multiple games, but I know it's quite difficult to do some of the coding... or at least time consuming.
If my week isn't filled with computer repairs, I should be able to get on with some of this stuff! |
