ALPHA 1.00001

I belive Noopie has finally reached the first version. Why well I finally finished a Sub level. Yes it is boring because of the lack of art, but it is there. Because I really haven't clearly explained the game play let me elaborate here.

Noopie starts on the main.mis file, think Mario 64's castle level.
Noopie can fly, fight uses energy. Noopie can shoot a beam out of his ball to suck energy from crystals to keep flying. Noopie must collect a certain amount of gold coins each level to open level doors. Doors take Noopie to sub levels. Doors on Sub Levels return Noopie to the main.mis
Here is a list of the amount of Gold coins needed to open all the sublevels on main.mis
11- level 1
21- level 2
31- level 3
41- level 4
51- level 5
61- level 6
The gold coins will lead the Noopie around. First, of course, is the tutorial, designed to lead the Noopie from the spawn location to the first door, collecting 11 coins along the way. Conviently at that door is the first Energy upgrade. There are 4 energy upgrades on each level. An energy Upgrade will increace Noopie's maximunm energy. Approaching a door will send Noopie to and from the sub level and main.mis

Sublevels are designed as 3d mazes Noopie spawns at a particular location and must find the 'Energy Upgrades' and at least 51 GOLD coins. Once Noopie has 51 gold coins the exit door will open and allow Noopie to return the the main.mis. By leaving some levels thru their exit door, Noopie will spawn at unique location on the main.mis

Here are the sub levels and where they spawn at on the main.mis
level 2 spawns at ZoneTwo
level 4 spawns at ZoneThree

This feature will allow Noopie to spawn next to Energy Upgrades on the main.mis which would normally be inaccesable.

Noopie's Energy and coin collection is automatically saved with the player's name. When players revist levels they will beable to pick up where the left off, again Mario-esk.

This first door level has just been made, it is rather chaotic but functional although I haven't yet played it, but will after this blog. Although the gui design isn't finalized, functionally it is good to go. We still have the option of multiplayer. But my major concern is creating more art to trick the IGC players that the game is more formalized.

Please give it a try, I hope it is fun and addictive, but might end up being hard and sucks so now is the time we will find out.
