Neurolius Windows, Mac, iOS, Android game

Development Log #01:

Quite a while ago I started re-working Skull Flip and decided to create a fully new game with the same core game mechanics. Now, the last article was all theory while this article is about the actual realization of the project.

I have started development on Neurolius a couple months back already and had a hard time to extract certain pieces of the codebase from Skull Flip, because the code was pretty badly written. So, after that experience I started a different approach, which meant deleting feature by feature in the Skull Flip codebase until the barebone of mechanics are left. This approach worked pretty well and after a day of work I can now fully concentrate on making Neurolius.

There were a lot of drastic changes to the original concept, but I am confident that I made the right decisions. Here is a list of the main changes I followed through:

1. No restrictions of moves
2. No stars/medals upon completion of levels
3. No restrictions for choosing a level
4. No limit for hints
5. No items
6. No fortune wheel
7. No coin-system
8. No ads
9. No in-app-purchases
10. No buy-to-play

Simply put: nothing but the core mechanic, no extra pedazz, no extra little mechanics. I am no longer looking to reach a wider audience, but instead focus on the core of the players, who enjoyed playing Skull Flip.

I have also changed the design a little bit and will post screenshots once the UI is free from placeholders. Everything will be really minimalistic and out of the way.

So, that's it for now. I will post another update once there are some visuals ready to be presented! Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
