Summary
Game prototype is 65% complete!
I lost a couple of work days due to illness…
I managed to get combination actions working (i.e. Jump+Down to drop down from a one-way platform). I may extend this later to allow look-down (using just the down key) to shift the camera a bit further once I learn how to use the view functions.
With the help of YYG Support, I was able to get the HTML5 module working, more on that later, and look for an update to my previous post.
I coded a virtual D-Pad for use on touch-screen devices, and while it works perfectly, I would need to adjust the resolution for it work on mobile devices.
On the business side, I’ve gotten together the required documentation needed to setup my Code Signing Certificate request submitted, and am awaiting verification.
