Ok, I've decided to stick with console games for the quickie series and I'm sticking with puzzle style games so that I don't have to worry about pathfinding or AI or anything like that.

Lol, it's amazing how many people think I don't have a job. Truth is, I've been working every day since last Saturday, I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday there painting (free of charge because I'm good like that), I'm working until Sunday, and I haven't worked less than a 7.5 hours shift (for …

Ok, before everybody starts freaking out and leaving, it's only for a little while. Invasion will be finished and it will be finished this year. I'm just going to take some time off until work slows down and I've upgraded my coding skills.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BLOCK-ON-BLOCK action?! WELL GET READY FOR BLOCKS GONE WILD! as these hot young blocks take everything off, we don't know what to expect!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive and working on Invasion. I won't be updating much for the next two weeks because of work (we're going to be short two people this week and four people next week.)
I'll update again as soon as I get something decent done.

Ok, I've uploaded the demo again and it seems to be working on my end. If you have any problems, please say so, that way I can fix them.

So, I'm only 15 days late with it, but here she is: demo. I'd really appreciate some feedback. There is one really annoying thing that I have on my todo list: walking into an object/non-walkable tile cancels out all movement (can be very annoying if you're moving diagonally.)

Why must I suck so bad at engine design? I think about things and I do them and they're good, but then I realize that I didn't think about something so I go back and redo it, and the new thing is good, but now the old thing is bad.
Long story short, I totally fucked my map design because I didn't ta…

I've gotten a lot of work done today, too bad all of it was on my website lol. And I'll still probably end up buying a template or something. I've found one that I really like, I just need to save my extra money for the movies this weekend.

I finally got events back in and the way that I want them to be too (well, pretty much lol.) Now I need to figure out how to spawn them for weapon pickups and such. But first, I need to figure out how to get monsters spawning. The basic monsters are going to be warping on constantly (up to a max of…
June 10, 2007
I'm working on getting the event system finished. I'm going with a little more complicated system than I had last time. The only problem I'm having is modifying the map file format; don't know how I want to save events. I'll figure something out though.

Yea, I totally failed. I haven't started on the MAGIC contest entry and I haven't worked on I:FoM very much. I need to get my shit together so I can get this new demo done.
Anyway, to the reason I'm actually updating:
Sorry Dave and Jon lol. And no, it didn't hurt. It hurt about as much as getting yo…

Ok, I'm picking up another project for this week; I'm going to make a simple dungeon crawler to enter into TrapperZoid's MAGIC contest. Hopefully I can find some time to work on it, but Invasion is more important so it'll be getting more of my time.

Well, I didn't get to work on Invasion last night seeing as how I came home to my power being out. I wasted my laptop battery on watching Spirited Away again (couldn't do any dev because I don't have it on my laptop ATM. I could use (and was using) SVN, but as you may remember, I completely fucked …

Ok, so I lied. I still worked on it all day and I'll probably work on it when I get home too lol.
I got a bunch of things fixed, got most of the scripting system hooked back in, got the weapons back in and working, and got objects back in and dying.

3 hours over:
My rendering system was automatically flushing before the code entered the shader, so only part of the tiles were being rendered via Shader. Wouldn't have been such a bitch if I hadn't set my system up to render with or without shaders (…
if(this->Vertices.size() > 999)

Well, I hate to say it, but I'm not going to be putting out a demo today. I was doing good up until I tried making a larger map and found some strange bug. For some reason when I make a map that is larger than 16 tiles on either axis, the lighting breaks. Doesn't go totally away, it just gets offse…

I'm getting there. There's no way I'll be done in a half an hour (I had to sit at the bank for 2 hours and then deal with my bills so I haven't been working on it all day), but it shouldn't be too long after.

Ok, time to get to work on this thing. I'll be updating as I get things done. I'm not going to bed until the new demo is done. I'm really hoping I can make the deadline I've set (6pm tonight; 16 hours from now.) We'll see.

Life just is not cooperating with me. If you've read my LJ you know that someone seems to have gotten their hands on my bank account information and spent over $500usd. So I've been dealing with that. The bank has given me the $500 some back, but they haven't refunded the 3 overdraft fees that resu…

Why yes, those ARE real-time reflections on the water ^_^. I have to render the map in two different passes now (render the layer below the water, the water layer, the object reflections, and then all of the layers above the water.) Also, each map requires at least two layers now - below the water …

Working away on things, trying to get this demo done. Life isn't really cooperating though. Went and hung out at my friend's house tonight and then tomorrow night (after work) I'm going to hang out with my nieces (have to watch them while they're parents go on their "anniversary trip".)

As you might have imagined, I've been refactoring my ass off as well as redesigning parts of the system.
I stripped out the game components I had in (map system, characters, items, etc) and redesigned them and have started recoding them.
I just got done with my new Sprite class. It's not actually a …

I've got to drop off for a couple weeks while I try to figure a few things out. I'll still be working on I:FoM though, so don't worry. I'll probably be back either on the 31st or the 1st and I promise I'll have a new demo then.

I've spent the last three or so hours fixing bugs and making things work right. Now if there is only one player then only one hud shows up. I also added a function so that scripts can check how many players there are.
I also changed the main menu and the paused menu. I liked the look of the old vers…

Had to switch back to the monitor. My bigscreen only supports 1360x768 and that just isn't tall enough to develop in =/.
I'm working out a few kinks in the GUI system. One of the biggest being I wasn't using smart pointers -_-. Don't know why I decided to do that, but now I've got it (almost) comple…

Ok, I've made up my mind. Invasion: Fall of Man will have a campaign mode with either solo or two player coop (second player can join at any time.) I'm going to look into doing a setup similar to Baldur's Gate where person A sets up a game and person B can ask to join by entering the person's IP ad…
May 20, 2007
Ok, I've been thinking about things and if I add the multiplayer stuff I was planning on, it would take the game in a different direction from what I want. So, for now I'm sticking with campaign (solo or 2-player coop.) We'll see where things go once I'm done with Invasion.
