It’s been a long time since my last post, as is my norm.  This is just a quick update to let you know that Pengu is still under development.  I’ve recently implemented the Levels, Graphic layer and Game Objects to read in from xml.  This is going to make creating the content of the game much quicker as changes need simply be made to the xml file(s) and loaded in at runtime as opposed to hard coding the content.

Next is on to the game editor tool which will be used to create the levels, etc.. and write the result out to xml files.

I’ll update the site soon with a progress checklist, so you’ll actually be able to get a feel for where I’m at in the process.  Unfortunately I’m hesitant to provide screenshots just yet, as although the game mechanics are in place, the artwork isn’t.  Hence any screenshot posted will not resemble the finished project.
