  • First contact something vaguely ui shaped

    And now to loose some time on what it the easiest way to move this forward and on what path.

    Have been setting the ui architecture up so that certain effects would be easy to add into it, but also aware that may not be the current priority…

  • Just working through the checklist of getting a project up and running

    Of course, the sensible thing would be to use an existing game engine, but after a certain point, there is some curiosity if learning and fighting yet another game engine is really quicker that just writing something from scratch.

    And then…

  • Javascript, Php, Sql and all that fun stuff

    Was looking for a reason to learn sql, and was feeling the urge to play an oldschool pen and paper rpg.

    didn't like gurps licence, nor dnd's 'open' source licence, then while looking around, found legendary quest, which is kind of neat.…

  • Prototype

    somewhat random, got up to speed with SDL (simple media layer) to see what it could do for me to make my life easier, also rewrote my game engine to be a lot more generic and support unittest.

    grey image is having fun bluring the depth…

  • Testing out canvas5 for facebook game (so there is a reason people keep on using flash)

    Have never done that much database/php stuff, but was currious if you could make a game using javascript/canvas rather than flash.
    this seemed fine till trying to get Internet Explorer to work, in which case i would like to think flash works…

  • a week of prototyping (6 prototypes)

    a week of prototyping (6 prototypes), 1 of which failed and not included, another of which i am still working on and not online yet (procrastinating by blogging rather than finishing it)

    Seems prototyping is the popular thing to do at the…

  • Bikini Beach Volleyball for iOS gameplay capture

    capture of iPhone gameplay of my lattest game, Bikini Beach Volleybal

  • Stencil shadows implemented

    Bit of a slow week, finished 'chico of the dead' (once it is available in the app store i get to start promoting it, fun) and during the recovery time after a big project, tidied up some randoms bits of tech, simplified renderer, and added…

  • Chico of the dead trial done

    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…

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)

Graham Edelsten (CEO Auran): Coem work for me if your company fails O_o

I played poker with a Tarot deck the other night. I got a full house and four people died.
