[SBX2] NaNo Progress, SBX2 L3 addition

Personal:
  NaNoWriMo has been going well.  I have written over 17,000 words already and am only slightly under par.  I have been trying to get some programming done aside from writing too, so here is a sneak peak of some new stuff in level 3.

SBX2:

  I have added electric nodes in Level 3 that blast electricity between.  It's dangerous so be careful around the hallway area.

As you can see in the bottom half of the picture, lightning is zapping between two nodes. 

Electricity will jump all the way down the hall and then start over in a few seconds.

I'll work on adding the boss and some platforming areas you can explore when I get some time.

Cheers,

[SBX2] Level 3 - The Fortress

SBX2:

  I've added new content to the game!  Level 3 is now open and there are some new things to see.
  A few additions are:

  -  A new character

  -  New upgrade items (that restore HP and Shield Power)

  -  A new Turret Enemy

  -  Layer removal in the level so you can uncover new parts of the level as you progress.



Let's take a look at some screen shots:

When you enter the level you start out in the upper right corner of the base.

Enemy Turrets are nearby defending the entrance.

As you travel around searching for a way to open the gate be sure to look for items to acquire.

After destroying something ^_^ the gate is open and the roof layer is removed allowing you to see inside!

Inside the fortress are more enemies and new gates to open!

Also here is the new HP recovery item!  Collect them to restore HP.  You will find them scattered throughout the levels.

Well, that's just a sneak peak at the third level of SBX2!  If you want to download it and play it you can download the file here:

Stay tuned for new updates!

[Personal] Nanowrimo

Personal:

  November 1st starts NaNoWriMo, a national novel writing contest where you have one month to write a novel.  Some friends of mine suggested the site to me and I think I am going to enter.  It seems like a great way to spend some time on creative writing.  You can check out their website here:  http://www.nanowrimo.org/

  Also, I have been trying to get a job at Riot Games in their international department.  The job requires Japanese fluency so I now have a blog in Japanese at:  sbxJapan.blogspot.com

  All in all, I am still working 12 hour night shifts and they are tough.  Trying to schedule my side projects and have a social life gets a bit challenging some times.  My free time consists of working on SBX2, writing, pixel art and studying Japanese.  [Oh, and playing League of Legends when I can.  I got gold this season in threes before the remake ^_^.  Yay Janna Skin.]

  Thanks for reading,
