56 hours 47 minutes remaining

The pressure is really on now. Mix Tape (art) is out of town for the duration, but he is supposedly going to be sending in work from the road. I finished fluids and the menus last night. I’m behind schedule, but if no real work comes up today I think I can make it. Still have a few weapons to create, then the entire bot builder, the debrief screen, and the high score system. I’ve been judiciously stripping away features as time goes by, so we will see which of these actually make it to the final version.

I haven’t even started on sound and music yet, which is weighing heavily on my soul. I started to look around a bit for some free music to use, and I might go that route if I can confirm it is within the rules. Otherwise I have to hash out a BUNCH of sound in SFXR or with my mic, then figure out Musagi and quickly develop some musical talent. Sigh.

Anyway, there is a new video up on youtube with the fluids in. When you bash in a drum without blowing it up, the fluid inside will leak out onto the ground. Acid will eat through drums and boxes, gas will explode, water dilutes the others and washes them away. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNvHymEIXds
