#meat engine

After adding some more stuff to Catastrophy, I’ve been drifting back to work on Beelzebug. Between the two Beelzebug is a much bigger and better game with more potential. One of the biggest differences is, with Beelzebug I am not just making an html5 game but building my own game engine (the Meat Engine) underneath.

The Meat Engine started as just a level editor, but it’s growing into more. The latest addition is a configuration editor, where you can change game settings, character settings and game actions. All events that happen in the Meat Engine are a “gameAction”. When a character wants to do something (say puke), you can assign that character the “puke” action and then cherry-pick which attributes of “puke” this specific character wants to change when they puke.

Here’s some screen shots of the Unit Editor changing the player’s gameActions
