Slow week

Apologies for not updating in a while. Bf3 is just too cool. Anyway im taking a break from gaming and getting back into making games! Hopefully I'll have something decent to show off later tonight.

Peace!

Not a real update

Thats because its kind of one. I updated the particle system so its kinda usable. Errr thats right. I've also been experimenting with networking so my game (when its done) shall be multiplayer :)

Expect something better than bf3 but in 2d (though maybe not)

Particles!

Particles everywhere!

Quick update

Havent done too much work in the last week, though I did clear up the UI on the editor a bit more which I think makes it look a LOT better than the first version :P

I've also started working on a bone animation system. Stay tuned.

Great day for being a shut in!

I decided to spend most of today working on my map editor and building the base for a Platformer game.

I think I'm officially gonna declare this in Alpha! :D

Map Editor V0.01 Update:
+Corrected Fill behavior to fill the background with what was currently selected
+Added Grass, Sand and Sign tiles
+Added Event Icon (Currently not functional)
+Added Load Icon (should be functional in the hour)
+Rewrote Save code to be more user friendly (IE actually being able to name the map)
+Added cleanup code to unload all textures

For Next Update:
-Redo GUI
-Add scrolling
-Finish Load function Done!
-Finish Event function

I think I'm making pretty steady progress on this.

As I said I was also working on a platformer.

Currently done:
+Map loader
+Player movement
+Collision detection
+Horrible collision response

For Next Update:
-Improve collision response
-Add camera
-Event response
-Update player sprite


Thanks for reading!

Before I hit the hay

Our singer got some sort of recording thingymagigy. It apparently holds about 72+ hours of recording. So we decided to test it out with a cover of SSD's "Boiling Point"



Time for bed now

Some coding stuff

So its been a bit of a while since an update! Thats cause things have been a bit crazy recently. First off it was junkbots (junkbot.blogspot.com) big cleaning bee. Her and her housemates have a house inspection soon so on saturday we spend allllll morning cleaning (After a big night too mind you). Secondly I decided to quit school as I have fallen behind once again. I studied game development but I found I didnt find it even remotely enjoyable when I wasnt doing it for a hobby. So to stop wasting time and money I withdrew today. Now I'm going to look into getting more work and saving up some money so I can hopefully move out within a few months.

In other news! This is a bit old but its something I quickly whipped up to help with my assignments. Its a really shoddy level editor, but hey, at least I can say I made something! :P


I'm gonna to work on this a lot I think and hopefully make it into something respectable because trust me, hardcoding levels is worse than hell to say the least. Here it is in action.



My band Eye-Gouge! (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002003463840) did some recording tonight. The rough tracks sound pretty decent and I'm keen to see how they come out.

Anyway thats enough for this evening. Peace!

EDIT:
Just noticed this ;)
