As of 16 Nov 9:00 HST.  My PC blue screened.  And Ill be submitting my project. One of the screenshots is a surviving tutorial from the final build read that before playing if you can.   Art was a majority of my project and to lose 2 days worth is frustrating since construct doesn't save or have any form of backup or cloud unless you manually set it up.  I don't normally shut down my PC so in a way its a lesson hard learned as I literally cannot resume my progress as exports don't count as saves... and backup aren't enabled by default.   I already started late (Tuesday morning).  So my only saving is that I uploaded the game for testing leaving me with something.

Missing from the final build

  • Balances and bug fixes (Meters mostly and Restarting the game)
  • Reworked the dialogue and instructions on the tutorial
  • Added 4 end screens (they weren't finished but had sketches)
  • A lot of and I mean A LOT of art, including the title page..

Originally I wanted to put my thoughts in this section on the game Jam.  My original theme for Racing was actually a "racing heart" and a "racing mind".  Escape manifested the idea that a Racing heart makes you panic and that you panic when you're in danger.  Over time that lost its center stage as "scope" and "fun" reminded me that a good idea doesn't work out of the box.  The 4 color challenge in particular was brutal, but I feel that I got it to work out somehow.   I just hope I don't get knocked for the gray backgrounds, as they're the construct default and were never meant to be in my final build. 

I am in a way, extremely proud for what I accomplished as a single novice, but also extremely angry at myself for not realizing that construct didn't have cloud built into it.. like one would expect from most modern programs.
