Cooking up a storm

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement throughout the development of Gum Drop. Without the feedback and honesty from everyone, I would have not been able to get the game in such a polished state. 

In other news, Gum Drop continues development for the next competitions, mainly Dream Build Play and the Independent Games Festival. I have already slated a bunch of new features that I would like to add to the game before I submit them. Currently one of those new features are environmental hazards. Currently I have two implemented in the game, storm and gravity. Storm is a pretty simple damage over time hazard where any game object within its area will take damage. Gravity is what you think it would be, is a area where there is a gravitational pull in the center. It is very similar to the gravity power up, but this one is on a permanent basis and does not move.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.
