Finishing the Level And Last blog entry for Trowl!

Welcome back dear readers, this week i will write about the end of the level in our game trowl and the hassels and balancing issues i faced along the way.
So to start i had to come up with a combination of enemies to have in the end that would be challenging and serve as a grand finale of the game so to speak. So i started thinking up ways in which i could convey that message to our players so […]

Balance And Testing

So this week as we continue to improve upon our game Trowl i have put all of my focus and attention towards balancing the game, because one of the changes we did this week was to make the game autoscrolling which made it so that i had to rework alot of the leveldesign in the game. But we did this change because of feedback we have gotten from playtesters that did not know that they are suppose to move forward […]
