Hello. What are you working on?

Whether you're working on a game, tool, engine, library, textures, concept, music, sfx, shaders, website, tweaking gameplay, animation, design document, character sketches, mods, or anything, post about it here.

Post screenshots of your work at the current state if applicable, even if it's glitchy graphics, or rough art. We know it's work in progress.

Post snippets of the code you've been writing.

Get feedback, and give feedback.

Include at least project/work name, tools, libraries, and languages used, as well as any more information you'd like to share, such as links, when it will be finished, where and how it will be released... etc.

Now let's see what you're spending your precious hours on instead of playing games or being with your family!

I am working on:

1. L. Spiro Engine (yes still, almost daily). Language Used: C++. Libraries: FreeImage, Vorbis.
2. L. Spiro Chess Engine. I’m an American national chess champion and have always been interested in seeing what I could do with my own chess engine. Language Used: C++.
3. A Nintendo Entertainment System emulator. Always been interested in emulating, and decided to start small. There isn’t a high demand for it, but it’s mainly for fun. Since TAS Videos uses my MHS quite a lot, I figured my whistles and bells on the emulator would be related to debugging and TAS’ing. And hacking (graphics dumps etc.—we’ll see what I can do when I get there). Language Used: C++.
4. Book on advanced game programming with OpenGL ES 2.0 on iOS. Language Used: English.
5. A manga/anime taking place in the future. I plan to post my art and story for review later (so no details here), and after getting some feedback I hope to make a proposal to Square Enix and actually getting something real made out of it.
6. A YouTube channel where I talk about game development, answer viewer questions, discuss/show life in Tokyo, interview game developers, do game reviews from a developer’s perspective, etc. Not yet started, but will reserve the Twitter and YouTube accounts soon. Need to get microphones and rent some filming space etc.

And you?

Cool idea! I hope I'd get interviewed there some day.

And you?

1. As mentioned in another thread: HBox, a GUI-library-independent a small library to handle GUI layout, with support for springs with min/max constraints.

More information is here: http://www.code-section.com/entry/22/hbox-a-c-box-layouter

Languages used: C++

2. Curver (yes still)

Curver is a tool which implements a natural work-flow for working with line-art, and aims to become the fastest solution for creating stunning and clean line-art. No more tedious frustrating stroke-and-undo-until-you-get-it-almost-right sessions. With a simple set of tools and a work-flow similar to 3D sculpting, you can stroke a curve and manipulate it into the desired shape in seconds!

Uses: C++, DX9, Win32, Sciter

To shamelessly plug my own 2 or 3 week old video, here's a thing that I've been working on off and on for a couple months now.

Also, people on the Journals section of the site always needs more of a plug. You should take a look at it! :D

Is it a game? What's it called?

Planning on a from-scratch rewrite for Metal/Direct3D 12/Mantle/Vulkan? I’m considering it.
