New Years Resolutions

  • Still a bit to go but finishing up the chico of the dead game, about a week left? event spent some time improving the quality of the first part of the game experence (added help)

  • well, took 5 hours to write my own morph plugin for max, but then took 2 days to change the pipeline, engine and animation for stream based morphing.
    and so the first thing to make was a shalug, half shark, half slug. what else is morphing…

  • First pass of the assets is almost done (evironemnt, some props, 3 player models and 5 zombies are done. one zombie and 3 small creatures left)
    Code is also getting done, minus the occasional task from hell such as 'rewrite collision system…

  • Started to implement game flow over the place holder assets, so have seen ingame cinematics and the simple scripting sequence work.
    Today finished one of the three player models, added frustum culling and linked up the missing bits for game…

  • Day 15 game dev, the zombie can now fight back which makes thing seem a bit more fair, also made it a lot tougher to kill the zombies.
    Title screen and starting a new game are done. now to make place holder art for the rest of the game.

  • Still working on iPhone, now have opengles2 support for my pipeline (shaders)
    finished up the goldfish project, and having a break from the cute stuff to do something violent, like shoot zombies.
    zombie is a performance test, though still…

  • Took a break from programming to do some artwork, and kind of happy with the result of an afternoon mucking about with normal maps. possibly should learn mudbox or zbrush, but found a workflow that suits me, even if i get to swear about polygon…

  • well, that is a way to spend my time.
    had another go at asset pipeline, using what i had learnt over the last few months and getting the information to the engine for the shaders, as well as preserving non shader rendering.

    excitement…

  • well, it is not so much that it is finished, it is more that i'm moving on and not working on it further.

    Nice to wrap something up, annoying the difference in quality of what you want to get done and what you can realistically get done.…

  • That took a bit longer than expected, but now have my own 3dstudio max exporter supporting biped, physique, scene graph, materials and animation. Also happen to have a win32/ iphone game engine that supports skinning.
    (morphing is mostly done…

some new years resolutions (some of which are serious, basicly reminding myself of things that i intend to do. Something to remember is that like dieting, if you fail once, it doesn't mean that you just give up....)

1. go outside once a day
2. not to stay out dancing after 12 midnight on a work night
3. never eat more than 650g of pizza in one sitting
4. not to stay up programming to 2am on a work night
5. exercise a few times a week
6. not to stay up reading to 4am on a work night
7. not to eat weatbix with ballies (was out of milk)
8. not to stay at work playing computergames well into the next day
9. not to start new projects without planning it out realistically
10. not to start new projects without finishing current project

[:D] Haha!! Now that?s funny! Actually, that reminds me of back when I was on schoolies (going back a bit now) and for some reason had a bowl of corn flakes and beer for breakfast. I later regurgitated the meal, and then went back to drinking. That?s what youth is for, I suppose.

My new years resolutions:
1.Draw something, anything, each day
2.Not to waste hours watching DVD?s when I should be working
3.Never to eat another pizza as long as I live, so help me God (years as pizza dude will do that)
4.Not to stay up modelling/texturing/animating past midnight on a work night
5.Get back into weight training before my hard earned muscle turns into a jelly-like substance
6.Never to stay up playing World of Warcraft all night ever again (I don?t think I can do this one though)
7.Not to skip a single art class, no matter how hard a day I have at work
