Blue Cake - Collab - Gem Rain

Here my update…
Ok, you can move the car with “left” and “right” arrow keys. You can change the basket type using “a”,“s”,“w”,“z” to the different gem colors. The basket has an effect like bouncing on a spring. The ship, which is the upper rectangle is alive and knows what to do… it shows position to move to and then it suppose to throw a gem when it reaches that position…

That looks amazing! :star_struck: The controls are great. I didn’t think of having multiple keys to switch the basket, that’s a really great idea. (I just thought it would be one key you have to tap multiple times, but it makes more sense to do it this way). And the way the basket moves with the cart but is also slightly delayed is a really nice touch as well. Overall it looks really, really great!

some kind of very basic private messaging should be really helpful for collabs

That was quick. I dont have my pc with me to see them. As soon as I have it, I’ll see them. Thanyou for ur effort.

Yes, but they want these collabs and conversations to be public. I want to respect that. Definetly they should reconsider specially in the future if people decide to collab for serious business.

They look gorgeous :heart_eyes:. You definitely has Wick-Drawing skills!
I’m sorry because you made more than we were needed for the game. Maybe I could not explain that very well. But I will make sure that we use all of them, specially in the Game Title Screen.

moderated private messages?

What do you mean? Is there a way?

I mean there are private messages but the moderators can still look at them and reply to them and stuff. I’m not sure if there is a way to do that in discourse

mmm Got it now. We should have that…

I’ll work now a little bit again on this… lets see…

Here is the game mechanics fully functional… controls were changed. This does not represent the final gameplay by any means, that is something that I’m still working on it. But the main concept works.

Very fun so far! I think it’s challenging, in a good way. You have to be able to react quickly enough to get the right basket. It’s something you can pick up on quickly enough, but you have to practice too, to be able to react correctly almost every time. I’ll get started on the machine parts and other graphics soon.

Ok… I might start doing graphics too, I’ll probably take the game Background from your plate. Is that ok? Let me know, so one of the worst thing in a collab is duplicating efforts…

It’s up to you, I don’t mind doing the background also. I guess if you feel it would make the project go faster, you can take over that part :+1:

That looks really good!! Since you already finished it, we should definitely use it. I’ll work on the other stuff!

You were doing it?

No, I hadn’t started any background stuff yet, I’m working on machine parts now.
