As I suspected, I have an almost insurmountable case of coder's block after a full day at work. Nevertheless, things are getting done. In fact, this might be the best thing that's happened for Lemma because it's forced me to cut a lot out of the design and focus on core things. It's the only way I'll ever finish.Screenshot below gives an idea of the new d...

A smorgasbord of anecdotes carefully compiled just for you, dear reader. This is #2 in a series of three posts which were originally one, before I decided I just had too dang much to say. OpenStack I spent a few weeks at work building a fully operational [s]death star OpenStack cluster. What does that mean? Basically, we have our own little private...

I recently had to install and configure an 18-node OpenStack cluster, a process which involved a lot of SSHing and text-editing in terminals. I thought about learning Vim, but I was afraid of the incredibly steep learning curve, so I made do with GNU nano. It's not at all powerful, but it's easy.Eventually I realized, "This is my job. This is what I do e...

I just got internet back after being without it since before Christmas. It was a tearful reunion, to be sure. Turns out, I was actually more productive than usual without internet. There's a one-word explanation for that, and it rhymes with "edit".ANYway, here's what got done:Analytics When you finish a play session, you'll see something like this:http:/...

Lemma has been radio silent recently, but that does NOT mean things aren't happening! I've been able to do a ton of work almost every day these past few weeks. Here's what's going on:
Did some massive surgery on the very first tutorial section after getting some feedback from a limited alpha release. It introduces, jumping,...

I experienced a strange memory issue with Lemma this week. Memory usage skyrocketed each time I loaded a level; it never dropped back down.
Now granted, I am definitely the garbage collector's worst nightmare. (I'll just say this: closures. Closures everywhere.) But at this point I am setting fields to null all over the place and manually...

Stamina and Sprint
I finally realized that speed is perhaps the most important resource in a Parkour game. Up until now, Lemma hasn't really understood the concept of "faster" and "slower"; you were always going the same speed. Acceleration from a dead...

Nice Clouds
I got sick of my old pixelated skybox powered by Google Images and decided to make a real one. I used Spacescape to generate a sufficiently trippy outer space skybox, chopped up some cloud photos in Gimp, fought with my code for a couple hours, and...

Flying in the face of midterms and other IRL issues, Lemma boldly marches on!
Spawn Point Graphics
I realized you need a way to know where you'll respawn if you die, so I added some spawn point graphics. Got the idea from Borderlands. Actually can we talk about Borderlands? Man, every time I play a good game I have to resist the urge to...

I now have the complete backstory and in-game story options written out!
After the initial tutorial, you'll get to a central area of the island which connects to four other areas. At that point, you'll be able to leave the island whenever you want, or you can visit one or more of the four adjacent areas before leaving. In each area you'll...

Here's an extremely cut-down demo! No tutorial, no story, no explanation, just showing off new moves, new enemies, and the new weapon.

I'm going to try and post smaller, more frequent articles. This whole "two months between massive walls of text and screenshots" thing is not working out.
So, the alpha I promised is *still* inbound. I'm working as fast as I can! And I think it's paying...
