SnowFare: Green Guy Call Outs
I added death call outs to the green guys as they die. I came up with mostly movie quotes, I posted some examples here. In addition I tweaked some functionality. When hovering over a guy, you can now select the base to drag around your character. This was annoying when moving/firing quickly, sometimes you would think you would have your character selected, and he/she wouldn’t move....

Green Guy SpriteSheet: Alternate Dying Sequence
Here is what I worked on tonight, the Green Guy had two different death sequences, so I made a new one where he spins and breathes his last. I should really convert these into PNGs sometime. Be sure to check out my website to play the game in HD!

Also notice that you cannot attack from behind the fort, it just wouldn’t be fair for the green guys. Have a look at...

Updated Health System
I am updating the health system, that still needs further tweaking. It was too hard to follow percentages as health, and determining the difference between the characters via tiny icons was not user-friendly. I’ve updated it to look like the screenshot below, which is the traditional heart system, each hit taking a quarter of the heart. Last thing I’m going to add is that only those...
