I am now at the dizzy height of three levels of procrastination away from my main project, having put Boxplode on hold as well for the moment to see if I could rework Special Agent into a Flash game. It's going quite well, though I have to resist the temptation to just strip out the bits that are slightly awkward to port over - I'm changing the percentage completion into a concept of 'agent points' that can be recorded on the Mochi scoreboards.

I'm not entirely sure whether I should keep the Democratic and Republican bonuses in it, because those words are far, far more loaded than they were at the point when I made the game five years ago - it was an idea that I got from Rise of the Triad, and the bonuses are achieved for sparing use of your handgun and for destroying all the plants on the level, respectively. Although I think, now, that it would be equally appropriate to get the Republican bonus for destroying all health powerups and the Democratic one for standing around for ten minutes without doing anything.

Besides, if anyone complains, as an independent I'm in the enviable position of being able to tell them to get stuffed.
