Hurray! The game has made it to it's first Milestone..I'm not sure how many there's going to be so don't ask. Anyways, TO THE CONTENT!

Scripting
I've made most of the back bone for the scripting, being able to spawn an egg at random and being able to move your basket (Which is still a paddle O_o) covers the basic needs for the game.

As for the future the current list of things to do is:
- Being able to drop different types of eggs.
- Creating a scoreboard.
- A Life System (Or something that makes it possible to lose).

Level Design
Very boring right now, basic cloudy sky and some grass at the bottom.

As for the future:
- Possible clouds that come out and fly over the eggs, making them hard to see.
- More detail in the grass maybe a few flowers.

Game-play
Basic, Basic *Yawn* Basic. Currently only one egg falls at a slow pace, it's worth 10 points (Which I'm beginning to think is a bit much). You have to get your basket over to the eggs and catch them.

As for the future:
- Different kinds of eggs, each one worth less/more points depending on it's speed.
- A Life System (Or something to make it possible to lose).
- A higher goal of some kind, not just catching eggs all the time.

Graphics
Going well, you can see a couple eggs in the image section. Basket is still in WIP

As for the future:
- Animated Eggs that spin as the fall, much more interesting.
- A Basket!
- Cute Flowers and Easter stuff for Menu screen.

Would have been okay if this was released the day before Easter or something but at this point I see no value in this.

You get negative karma for your retarded comment.

Do you want to know what the purpose is? The purpose is to make a game, have fun doing it as well as to let people enjoy your work.

Excuse me?
At least I didn't make my negative comment in a disrespectful manner.

Realistically speaking I just really don't see many people taking interest in a game that revolves around falling Easter eggs. Maybe you though, you seem pretty excited about it. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

I don't really care how many people take interest to the game, as NullSoldier said, It's to make the game and having fun while doing it. If people want to follow the game, sure! It just gives me another reason to keep going. I also wanted to get some constructive critz on the game play and such, see if anyone else had a good idea or two to add.

I think this is more suited for something you'd find on Newgrounds. From what it seems to me it looks more like a little mini-game or something suited for a younger audience... Usually you don't see things like that around Moddb, that's the only really point I'm trying to make. =P
