Welcome to the Lunar Lighthouse, a website that features games and other creations made my me, Imminent Death. Along with the launch of this website I've also released my first game, Darkhouse. It's a platformer designed like a classic arcade game where you fight enemies while climbing a tower, falling to your death when you're defeated. It's the first game I've ever made, and since I've never coded or animated before, there are probably several bugs and design flaws. So I'm calling the first version of Darkhouse version 0.0, and I plan on finding and fixing any problems I can in later updates. I'll keep a list of known bugs, and if I can't fix an issue I'll put it under a separate list of bugs I can't fix.
Darkhouse is meant to be a difficult and unforgiving game. You can only take 10 hits and you have 3 lives to climb as high as you can, and you start from the beginning after losing all lives. But the idea I have for this game is not something I can make with my current skill level. I will fix what I can for now, but at some point after I've learned a lot more about making games, I'm going to remake Darkhouse in what I'll call version 1.0, with better coding, animations, music, and gameplay. My goal is to make Darkhouse the best game it can be.
For now, though, I have a twitter account where you can send me any bugs that you find using the hashtag #DarkhouseBug. I'll make sure any bugs that show up are shown in the bug list, and I'll also post small updates if necessary.
As for the Lighthouse, I'm using google sites because I also don't know how to make a website, and I don't own a web address. I might switch over to a new site if I ever get one, and if I do I'll post an update here with a link to the new site, and just leave this one as it is at the time. But for now I'll use google sites because it's simple and easy, and it can embed HTML code so I can put my games here. (edit: It looks like this method doesn't actually work. I know the classic version of google sites could put .swf Flash files on them, but I'm not sure when/if google will update the new sites with a similar option.)
I don't know what else I'll do with the website. I have a lot of ideas, so we'll have to wait and see. I'll definitely be making more games, so expect more to play in the Arcade. Game development takes a lot of time, though, so keep that in mind.
I don't actually have any idea what I'm doing.
