Normally my entries are about my drawing or progress on my current projects, however I have chosen to write about something a little different. I've been trying for some time to get some more games under my belt, the best way for me to do this is to program on other people projects while working o…

First I would like to thank Evil Steve, O-san, benryves and moose517 for testing out my demo. I will get started on the level editor as soon as possible so I can get the Skeleton Castle out within a month. I wont rush it though because I want this game to be fun and the boss battle to be interest…

I've chosen to remake this game as a side scrolling action RPG. Some people might find this pointless for how much has been done with Ziron Realms to begin with, why waste all that work? Well, I'm looking to make a game that people are going to play. From a programming stand point I've learned a…

I've been resting a lot lately and drawing in my free time, which I have a lot of. I didn't really understand or know correct anatomy for drawing so I've been learning a lot to better my skills.
I drew this guy before knowing anything though, which lacks detail on the body.

Yesterday wasn't such a great night. I had to go to the ER for my heart once again, thankfully the medicines they gave helped stabilize my heart, even though they had to give a big dosage for it to work. I'm not going to be posting any updates for up to two weeks but will work on my drawing when …

Well it's not day 2, however I wont be doing anything all Wednesday, drawing wise. I need to really work on how I blend colors, something I'm not too great at yet. I first started off with a ball to practice a bit.

So I've taken a bit of a break from Ziron Realms to draw! I need to improve my drawing skills as much as possible because my next game is going to need some need very nice graphics done, due to 3D models. I'm working with black and white in this picture, I just defined the shape and went from the…

It looks like I'm ahead of my plan for finishing up the rest of the areas. I've completed the entire world map now! You're able to walk around in all 21 zones and 6 areas. The game is now at 40% completion. This is my new list of what I need to finish and the percentage it will add to my comple…

I'm making a lot of progress right now, however I'm still using placement graphics for now, just simple stuff I drew up. I'm still debating on if I should use a random encounter system or have monsters moving around. I'm thinking of using random encounter for the world map and having real monster…
February 26, 2009
So I guess I'm going to have some extra time tonight, so why not finish off the rest of the world map, tile wise. All of the areas are fully completed, programming wise to move around, however I need to tile these zones which is taking a lot of time. I'm going to end up making placement graphics …

I wasn't sure if I would have enough time today so I could get some screens done, so I'll just post what I got now.
NOTE: The mouse cursor doesn't display in the screen shots because I'm using the hardware cursor for now, just with a changed graphic.
This is just a quick Main Menu I made, yes the but…

I spent a ton of time last night and finished up the Map Editor. I know I haven't shown any game updates or even any game play what so ever, however I had to spend a lot of time getting the Map Editor right because it's my primary tool for making everything map wise in the game. Right now I need …

I've been hard at work on the Ziron Realms Map Editor. I've choosen to make the game even BIGGER then I was planning. The Goblin Zone was about 3 maps that were 1536 x 416 combined. Now each Zone will be 1536 x 1248 instead. Leaving more room for dungeons and cities! The old Areas will still r…

So I've been hard at work with the Map Editor and game. I've completed support for 100 maps, however certain areas are not drawable yet because I need to complete a tile set for those sections; so I disabled them for now. I've made a video showing my Map Editor in action and how I made it work ju…

So yesterday wasn't a great day. I had to go in for a ton of x-rays then an MRI soon. So I was pretty busy going place to place. Then I got home to work on Ziron Realms a bit more to find out my input was getting delayed... At first I thought it could of been a FPS issue, which happened to be n…

So I've come up with the name Ziron Realms. I wont get into the story of who Ziron is, not yet anyhow. So I've finished the Rocky area and completed the Goblin, Fire Mage, Fire Dragon, Thieves and Barbarian Zones. Now that this area is complete I'm just redoing some graphics. I made the player …

So I've been hard at work at linking my 100 maps, I'm not sure if 100 maps will be enough though. What my plan is to work on the world maps right now and later on you will see a cave like in the screen shot below which you can enter. This will take you outside the world map into a cave map I will…

So I've been hard at work on this project for a bit now and I've chosen to talk about it. It's a 2D Retro RPG that is tile based. I'm making this game based on a DOS RPG I played back in the 90's.
NOTE: THESE GRAPHICS ARE TEMP. FOR NOW!
Here's how the game will look.

I'm not sure if anyone forgot or not, but I did say before within a few weeks I was going to show off my other project I was working on. I'm not at the point yet where I can show off any visual results until maybe this weekend. This is something I'm going to get done regardless of learning 3D pro…

So I've spent some time checking out Irrlicht to find out it wasn't going to work for me. I was looking for something that was more of a 3D Game Engine but allowed C++ programming, not a render. So I found DarkGDK, which I've heard of before. So I spent some time in it and really like how it eas…
February 08, 2009
So I'm feeling a lot better today so I thought why not expand my programming some more? I've been using 3D Studio Max for a bit now and I was thinking about my other 2D projects and what I wanted to do with them. I thought, maybe it would be best in 3D because I would just have to model what I ne…

So it's day six of having this flu and I'm some what able to get off my butt and attempt to do some programming. Sadly this flu really hit me at a bad time and caused me to loose a job along with my other medical problems. Hopefully this flu passes soon so I can get a new job and start paying tho…

So I've went a little ahead of pixel art and attempted to do a painting form of art. This is the first time I've ever done this because I've mainly sticked to pixel art, being easier for me and all.
I first came up with the basic image. I used different colors so I could tell the difference betwee…

So it has been awhile since I last posted an entry however I've been hard at work learning to draw. I'm able to program and produce music (something I've been doing for over 4 years) but I was never the best drawer. I was working on something tonight which was going to be a mech of some sort, I d…

I'm kinda pissed off right now because my entire source code for the engine is gone. I had left my file open today and some how my IDE got all messed up and my source code was corrupted. I've never heard of this happening and I'm going to assume it might have something to do with my computer slow…

Hello everyone, today I'm going to be programming a few new things with the engine and map editor. I've chosen to leave out any mouse interaction with the editor due to the size of the maps. So I will be taking out the "F4 Grid" feature and replacing it with another. What I'm going to be program…
