wow thanks guys. it's nice to hear some support behind the project.
there's still a ton of work to do, but unfortunately, i probably won't be able to provide an updated demo for a bit.
by buddy is also tackling all other aspects of college on top of video game design, so can't be too hard on him, right? he just asked me to do large batches of work for him to do instead of small updates. that way he can take one night and really put some work into it.
but i will continue posting updated graphics and news about the progress.
and maybe a story line, and a title for the game....(when i come up with it...)
for now, here's the start of a van:

while everyone in grade school was drawing clones of the same hot rod over and over again, i was drawing monsters, so i never developed the ability to really draw cars that well, so my vehicles usually end up being pretty bad.
The colors are temporary, of course, and right now i'm just working on figuring out the kinks in the design of it.
i was going to have it to where the van drives in at the start of the level, and the character gets out and radios headquarters with some kind of "i am in the area, mission start"
and then some kind of flashy title thing with all kinds of bells and whistles and ricketeh racketeh. and then the level actually begins. what do you think??
