New Years Resolutions

  • Had a break from learning c# by making a new player model, britanny of gold digger.
    Model, basic texture, animation in 3 days (less actually, time also spent rewriting bone spring code (to get tail to work well), like 2 days plus one recovery…

  • combat prototype is done (cough, after a work/ life related pause of 7 months)

    turn based hex combat, 3 stats (rock paper sizzors/ body mind soul) though still needs tweaking, but need to make some contents tools first. have movement,…

  • slowly implementing a hex based combat mode, have player movement (calculation of what movement cost to get to each square, interface for move, interface for changing facing) and player/ opponent take turns

    also lost some time to changing…

  • Nothing that exciting, still a bit to go before seeing game character fight, but the framework for the turnbased combat, and triggering it by walking around in the world, and then generate a hex grid over the current location is slowly…

  • Used up a weeks worth of holiday time from work, but still did not even get started on the combat prototype.
    Took a day to tidy up the prototype code to be more generalise, then another day to refactor the code to run under a state machine…

  • well, there is more i would like to do on the player movement prototype but need to move onto the next prototype, combat.

    did get physics update seperate from the rendering, the animation states being driven by an xml defined state machine…

  • still working on the character movement prototype, adding a few animations and tweaking physics, currently adding push object state, have the jump animations with jump scalled by time the jump button is down, land animation scalled by time in air…

  • have changed to using ogre game engine, and this is after a few weekends of mucking around and making content, with smatterings of code

    some history. got my own 'from scratch' game engine up to runing but was going to be a pain to support…

  • One day to make the model
    (lightwave, drew a front and side profile of a Fred Perry character, 'Gina', from his comic 'Gold Digger', it is rather sexist, but also a lot of fun. converted the tga into a point cloud to have in the modelling…

  • an interesting little exercise that i did back in november, was to make a pac man clone.

    it was good to actually 'finish' something, but a pain in the kahoonas to make something on the pc not using directX (as i already knew how to use…

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
