In-Depth
After hearing about the #1GAM challenge I set myself with the goal of actually completing a game I started. I decided a puzzle game would be nice and easy to complete within a month, forking off an idea I came across during a previously project, that focuses on directing the flow of objects. Being a programmer the concept of logic gates made sense to control flow.
I spent a few days stripping the ‘fat’ from the base idea and came up with the 4 gates we see in the game today. Despite spending nearly every night in January as a sole developer the game just missed the mark of a Feb 1
stRelease and this project looked like it was doomed to the ‘nearly done’ bin. However, despite all odds here is V1.0.
In a few days I’ll write up the journey from start to finish of my first full game. I’d like to give a big thanks to Chelnov and Mattashi from newgrounds.com for kindly letting me use their songs and freesound.org for some of the sound effects in the game.
