Hey All,
Last thursday(not yesterday the one before) I have finished my midterm exam so I and my graduation project team (Hello World! Team) decided to take thursday and friday off.
\"\"<\/a>
And today we are going to continue working on faculty projects so last friday I decided to start coding in FlashPunk so I followed the first tutorial<\/a> and see a small example<\/a> made by chevy ray<\/a> (The one who made FlashPunk<\/a> library).<\/p>\n

I made a simple game based on that tutorial just a rocket moving in space where it is directed with the mouse and move with up arrow and when releasing it stops due to friction also there is some random enemies generated with simple AI just search and follow player if the player exists in his range of sight and try to follow the player
Also the player can fire using left mouse button.<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is a link for the game, also here<\/a> is the source code for the game.<\/p>\n

Then afterwards I decided to start my first real project in FlashPunk<\/a> which is \ud83d\ude42 PaceMaker Flash Version \ud83d\ude42 here are all questions that you may wondering about.<\/p>\n

Why PaceMaker?<\/strong>
Because PaceMaker was the most successful game I had made till now (was featured on IndieGames Weblog<\/a> and it make the highest number of gameplays in all my games<\/a>)
Also I choosed it as I dlove to start flash programming with something easy (shooter)<\/p>\n

When it will be finished?<\/strong>
I dont know as I am too busy and I work maximum on it just one hour every week maximum so It may take long time.<\/p>\n

Why are you going to make Flash Games?<\/strong>
Because I want my games to be more distributable \ud83d\ude42 so larger variety of people can try it \ud83d\ude42 Also I want to make gaming is my full time career job so Flash Games will allows me to find sposor so I will get some cash out of that. So I can say I make too dreams come true \ud83d\ude42 I make my lovely games and at same time Its my job \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Will PaceMaker be sponsored?<\/strong>
I hope so as I will be extending the gameplay make achievements. Make bosses besides the main scenario. So hoping it find sponsor on FGL<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

How far you have done in it?<\/strong>
Just right now I only finished rebuilding the main menu and credits menu and making the explosions \ud83d\ude42 take a look \ud83d\ude42 so as I said its far away from finishing soon \ud83d\ude42
\"\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/a>
About the graphics from screenshots it looks that it will be same vector drawing is that true?<\/strong>
For now time thats will be the case unless if I find an artist helping me or I have spare time to make some art for it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

About game Music how you will do it?<\/strong>
I think I will contact Heatex<\/a> (an amazing musician on gamejolt) Hope he accept to make music for my game \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

About Hello World! game Hassan the artist he told me that he is good in platforming only and not in isometic so now I am still looking for artist for the game hope I can find one soon :S<\/p>\n

Thats all for now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
