Hi fellow PyWeek-ers!

Only 2 days left! Still lots of things to do but we should end up with most of what we wanted in the game.

So what could we learn about FEAW today? Well we didn't show that many levels, no mutated Stan and no enemies. So today you're lucky because you'll see all of these things :D



Here's Water Stan jumping from platforms to platforms. Isn't he nice in blue?
And here is a part of the bathroom enemies: ducks. You can see they aren't that nice when watching their blank look.

So here Stan is trying to get to the tub in some purpose I won't reveal here. I can just tell you that throwing water balls won't be the only power of his water mutation.

 
So that's it for today for FEAW. Let's see what we did during this 5th day.
 
cha, as usual, created more asset. She finished all the levels today and did a few menus. So now all she has left to do is a few animations and 1 or 2 things.

elghinn didn't do that much as he was really tired because of last night diary entry :)
Well he had some time to handle most of the levels filling system. Now we can load and display the items, the gems, the platforms and enemies are almost there too.
He finished the room system so that now Stan car walk in the different part of a level.

We had some troubles with these room changes, mostly in the collision system because of some non homogeneous things in different coordinate systems.

And he even found some time to code a surprise, but I won't say what it is today. We'll give you a hint at some point.

And for my part of the day, I fixed a few bugs in the collision system so that now Stan can walk on the ground and all the platforms as he likes.
I also added the effects when colliding with an Item (gem, food, ..) and with the exits (to go to another room).

We hope we won't have too many problems tomorrow in order to be able to spend our saturday testing the game and tuning the levels.

That's it for today people. Good luck with your projects. We had time to look around and there are lots of really interesting games we can't wait to play to :)

@richard: I might look that up, as well as add it as an easter egg, somehow...
