Working on NetBook game (SpellBinder) for the Intel Level Up 2010!
I’ve been working on a game for the Intel Level Up 2010 Competition. I had posted an idea, but hadn’t had time to work on it much, but got selected as a finalist for the Netbook section!
It’s a side scroller / platformer game using box2d for interesting game play additions.
Due in the end of September, so I have a little over a month. Have finished a lot of the basic gameplay interactions (2/3rds) but still have a ton of work to do. Level design, game play design, artwork, bug testing, and converting to c++ for a major boost in speed.
The demo is at:
