Gum Drop and you

Now that Gum Drop's features have stabilized, I am now working on doing level balancing and Release testing at the same time. The game has progressed so much since I started it 1 year ago, but I am really proud of what I have accomplished. All together now Gum Drop has 20 levels, over 20 different kinds of enemies, 11 different power ups, 10+ different projectiles. The game has also recieved alot of polish. What I am really proud of the game is that most if not all the work was done by me other than music. I had complete control on what the art direction and gameplay direction went. This is the type of game I wanted it to be, a really fun and unique shooter.

 But now things are starting to wind down to a close as I am wrapping up the project as it will be released sometime within the next 2 months  on Xbox Game Communities. Ahh.. Gum Drop!

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.
