Hmmm...(pt2)
I have absolutely no idea where I was going with this. I got canvas working, wrote some code..heck, even made a working level editor. (http://www.midnightfragfest.com/html5/worldedit/)

No ideas though...not one :/


Oh well, if i get bored I could always draw random plots of grass and dirt. For now tho…

it works :)
getting a hang of canvas finally, not much here but it does work (I'll post it up live once it's done, for now just screenshots)

Canvas based editor.





Had to use a bit of php trickery and hidden fields to get the save and load working, but they work. Can't really tell from the image but it accepts ke…

killed firefox again...
evidently redrawing a few thousand things at an attempted 60 fps is a bad idea currently.

Been kinda testing my limits while working on an editor. (figured If I'm going to make games in html5 + canvas...might as well make a level editor in html5 + canvas as well :) )

It's coming along nicely, I have…

hmm....
Evidently if you don't update in a very long time you're a new journal again :)

...anyways...dunno what I'm planning to do with my old sidescroller code, maybe nothing, but for now I've been playing around with some html5 canvas stuff. Probably going to submit something at least for mozilla lab's "G…

why not...
You know...I pay for this thing, might as well use it.

Started dusting off some old code I haven't touched in years and cleaning it up a bit, not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but I can only write business software for so many months straight without going further insane. Anyways pretty muc…

Yet another sprite editor update!


Another update to my editor, new features.


  • Onion skinning for previous/next frames

  • Ability to load, scale and position a background image as another onion skin layer, for tracing

  • cleaned up the drawing routine, draws to a wxImage now and only draws to screen once, much faster.





Download Now!

Sprite Editor Update
Keep neglecting to update here as I've been more worried about getting my own site working again. (remember kids...don't drink and rm -rf...at least i keep backups). Been up for a few weeks now so I'll start crossposting to my journal here again.

Origional is of course at my website, http://www.midn…

Disgaea 3.....
No updates on any of my psp stuff this week, unfortunately I learned Disgaea 3 was released and it now consumes the majority of my time at home :P (Blast you NIS for your awesome gameplay and funny storylines!) Dunno how that release slipped out without me knowing about it before! (probably good th…

Game engine update...
First off, the video ">here .

Been a long time since i posted an update, but my PSP game engine is coming along nicely, though I've taken a little bit too long. There's no way I can have it 100% complete by September 12th to get it into QJ.net's summer coding contest, though I intend to just subm…

Creativity block
Finally got my engine up and running (still needs a lot of work but at least it plays now). Now I've got to get some decent artwork done so that I can take screenshots that contain a bit more than just ripped zelda sprites :) Hardest part for me really, just sitting down deciding what to draw...on…

DRM Rant
I posted this in response to a news item, but felt it was too good to just leave there. I really don't how some of these companies even keep developers on board, I'd be pissed if my employer started to publish all releases with ineffective, painfully annoying DRM.

begin post...

Getting back into it...
After a few years of all application/web development I'm FINALLY getting back into independent game development. It pays well and all, but it's BORING. (edit: i meant the application development pays well and is boring, not the game development :P )

For those that don't know me, I work professionall…

My first gdnet news posting
yay! i got news worth of being posted, hurrah!

As for how it seems to detect jet3d as a potential viral threat, i think that's probably due to the vfs files the engine loads that are stored in the install package, we'll look into it, but i've been running it (easier to work on it that way) and it wo…

I really dont post much, do I?
Bleh, man im tired....

Increadibly busy is a horrible understatement on how i've been lately. Better than being bored though.

Was supposed to go to GDC this year, ended up having a emergency in December and had no time off available :( . Hope everyone who went had fun there.

anyways, here's what i've …

I feel so proud of myself....
My first bit of software (written in C#) went live on the base network today. (and worked properly i might add)

What is it? Well, i could tell you, but then i'd have to kill you.

Job switch
Start my new job tomorrow.

Big change going from working at a retail store for near minimum wage, and horrible hours, (not to mention the horror of working different hours each week, and not being able to plan anything do to the fact that you find out your schedule 2 days before you have to work i…

teh yays!
decided to go ahead and accept the SCM job. Though the hours or less, the hourly wage is greater, and more importantly, it's along my career path.

also, i have this odd urge to make a "blow up" demo, with lots of stuff blowing up, perhaps ill do it with jet3d after i finish my particle system....

Heck of a pickle, got one job offer i have for sure, if i accept it. It's a Configuration Management position, and i would love to take it. The problem is it's only 15 hours a week, and can only between the hours of 7-5. On next tuesday, i have a interview for another position, that pays a lot more…
