Just a little information about some of the things that I have been working on.

[color=rgb(0,0,0)][font=arial]I've been away for some time now. A lot has changed since my last update. As I've said before, I used to teach English in Korea, but in April, my wife and I moved back to America. Now I've been trying to get back into the swing of things. I want to spend more time codi…

I've been making a lot of progress these days. I've just finished most of a major renovation (hopefully the last until release) of the graphics engine. Before I had limited each model to one set of textures (diffuse, normal, effects map), but by artist request, I've added the ability to use a secon…

Developing the AI Middleware's Interface
As I explained in my last post, I've developed a text-based sample game that I'll use to build the initial version of the AI system. Then I'll get it to work on my 2D engine, and then finally on my 3D engine for Auxnet:Battlegrounds. I'm at the stage now wher…

[font=Arial]These days, I've been turning my attention towards AI. In the past, I spent so much time working on graphics components of the engine in the past, that I've never put the effort into building a good AI system. When I was developing Genesis SEED, I wrote a complex AI system, but it was t…

Auxnet development has been picking up these days. Right now my main task is AI. AI has been a pain in my side for some time now not because I don't know how to do it, but because I haven't really had a lot of time to work on it. So I've been stuck in stupid AI land. I'm going to change that now. I…

[font=arial][color=rgb(0,0,0)]Graphics-wise, I don't plan on changing my current 3D engine much. I've mostly been working on gameplay and AI related stuff. As I make more progress on the AI code, I'll share it here and on my main page. Currently the 3D engine, Squared'D, has too many parts to use i…

I've been living in Korea for the past 6 1/2 years, but my wife and I have decided to give the US a try and we'll move back there this spring. So I'm now in job hunting mode. I've also been taking some time to develop my personal website www.squaredprogramming.com . I've been posting a lot of thing…

It's been a while since I've written a blog post. I had been spending a lot of time learning and exploring AngelScript. I won't be writing anymore AngelScript articles for Gamedev.net, but from time to time, I'll post blog entries on it.

I've been working on a new article that I hope to post here on Gamedev. It's currently already up on my other blog. It'll be a two part article so I want to finish them both before I post them here. You can take a look at it here: http://squaredprogramming.blogspot.kr/2013/12/programming-by-example…

I've been doing a lot of things these days. After spending the past few years as a shut in hermit programmer, I've been trying to spread out and become more public. I've been teaching English for the past 6 years, but I'm hoping to get back into programming. I think increasing my reputation on the …

[font=arial]Using UTF-8 in Games[/font]

Here's a video of a character movie around an arena. The game is still early in it's development, but we've been making a lot of progress so far. A lot of the artwork that you see here is being refined and redone so we hope the final project will be really good.

[font=arial]Finally, I've been making some real progress. Most of the code to read a level file and to load it is working, and everything is running well in the current single player version of the game engine framework. Don't worry, I'll extend it to multi-player soon …
