Ok, i decided it's about time for an update, since the one month mark is tomorrow! (my birthday is the day after that w00t!)
A hog that has jumped on the front of the lawnmower and is beating it with its fist
Hogs in the corner are wearing down the fence, trying to escape.
Teh video!
I've uploaded a video to demonstrate where i'm at, it's 4.63 Mbs. Fraps took it down to about 40 FPS, when it is usually 105+ FPS.
Things to look for in the video!
Obviously the hogs jumping on the lawn mower! To get them off i run into the fence, and they just dissapear. They will of course eventually dissapear in a shower of gore/flowers.
The hogs attacking the fence!
I switch to normal gore for the very last hog i run over, (i have hot keys rigged right now, but it's going to be a menu option)
The blade spinning underneath the lawnmower
Also, although you can't see it in the video (i haven't made it obvious enough in the game yet) I've made it so that when you run over a hog you make other hogs angry. that's why you have those hogs jumping on you, the non-angry hogs don't attack you or jump on you. (the non-angry hogs either wander around or attack the fence)
Right now their eyes just turn red, but i eventually want them to glow if i can
You might also notice that it didn't take me very long to kill all the hogs! In the game more hogs will be coming out of the ground as you kill the ones above ground. So it will be like an un-ending supply of them, and you have to worry about being beat to death, or the hogs escaping, all while trying to kill enough to win the level.
[edit] if it doesn't work, tell me and i'll upload a different file format
