Meteor Punching

During February, I decided to commit to working on a OneGameAMonth project with my friend João Guerra. The idea would be based on an image I had drawn in my sketchbook previously, of an astronaut punching meteors out of the sky.

You can read more about the project on João’s blog here; where you will discover that, well, we failed to get the game done in our spare time. This probably wasn’t helped by my decision to use vector created textures in pseudo 3D, but we both also had a crazy busy month.

I’ve really enjoyed working on the project, who wouldn’t!? It’s got Dinosaurs, Astronauts and punching! So we have agreed to continue into March and hopefully produce a finished game this time, even if we are moving into a new house, celebrating Birthdays and some of us are starting new jobs…..

So stay tuned, the above image is a work in progress image of the asteroid in his environment. Below, the first Dinosaur and the original sketch the idea sprouted from.
