    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)

  • chico of the dead week 6

    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…

  • Day 29 'Chico of the dead'

    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…

  • Day 22 'Chico of the Dead'

    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.

  • iPhone development Opengles2 (shaders) goldfish and zombie

    zombie is a performance test, though still…

  • Shader fun, cloth modifier

    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…

  • iPhone progress, new asset pipeline, shaders

    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…

  • IPhone: Play With Kitty

    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.…

  • Iphone progress

    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.

some random quotes not in full context

John Passfield (krome) denied that they will be making a game called 'chooka the occa chook'

Graham Edelsten (CEO Auran) regets not getting to make darkreign2

Raymond Muzyka (bioware) is enjoying australia and does read www.megatokyo.com

John De Margheriti (Microforte) is very happy with 'bigworld' tech, and listed some interesting korean online games ;_;

and 'melodie mars' won the unsigned games (Wicked witch software). a music based FPS which also had surface dependant gravity (fly close enough to a wall and you would turn around to stand on it, makes for interesting levels)

Actually, why didn't they get to do Dark Reign 2? Did Auran create Dark Reign 1, or was it someone else's intellectual property?

They probably had to sell the IP rights to the game to the publisher, which is unforunate but it happens, especially with startups.

I'm not sure with that though.

auran very much made 'darkreign' 1, it had a slew of original features and beautifully ballanced as well as a good story, and i though it sold quite well. Pandemic made darkreign2 which was a lot less sucessful (but in full 3d)
