I really don't have much to say today, so this will be a short entry.
I decided that all the cutscens in A20 will be created via a scripting thing I'm designing right now. The scripts allow scenes with the following features:
Up to 20 moving objects per scene
Game Levels can be loaded into scenes
Duration of scene can be set
Linear movement
Positional Camera
Background music
Voice track
Its all pretty simple, but I think it'll get the job done.
I ran into a bit of a problem yesterday when I realized that in order to use FMod in a commercial project I have to pay 1000 dollars, and I already programmed alot of FMod into the game[crying]. So I'm on the lookout for any other good simple sound libraries. I really don't need complex stuff, all I need is the ability to play sounds, no 3D noise or echos or anything. If anyone knows of a good one, let me know.
Well, I've got to go to woprk in the morning, so I'll talk to you guys later.
