What are you working on at the moment?

[Shockwave]

I've started to work on my Christmas Comp entry..

I am not coding yet, just drawing some graphics

Ampli is busy composing.... .  .

[rain_storm]

I'm working on sweep and prune collision detection its coming along nicely I have already finished my static collision detections which cater for all types of primitives from points up to quads. None of these routines assume that either shape is axis alligned. When I'm done with swept circles I will release all the routines I've done so far.

Whoa just "finished" (some bytes to find) a crraaazy 4k for kindergarten with pohar and vincenzzo of rebels. Really hardcore goa style thingie. Watch out for it next weekend...

[Tetra]

I've not been around much recently and thought i'd make a post here to let a few know I am still about and still coding but not as much as I would like.

Basically most of my coding time is going into revamping a massive website thats in dire need of updating. That means a lot of work for me so far i've reached almost 3000 lines of PHP code! 

Thats not to mean i'm not working on anything
I'm currently working on a puzzle game in 3D, and I'm using blitz 3D to make it. If blitz was going to be good at anything this wuold be it
There have been many variations on this puzzle and soon you will have mine. I decided to actually make a full and playable version of this game. I was hoping to get a preview done for the haloween compo, but I only got as far as the graphics. So what i'll do is include the haloween special level in my final release.

I've put everything I know about blitz into this game and the code is heavily commented which I will be realeasing along side the game. So hopefully soon i'll have some screenies (not worth posting any atm) and a playbale version of the game.

But, now that we are onto the christmas compo i'm gonna have to enter it! So i'm gonna have to get my thinking cap on and come up with something for it, having missed out on the haloween compo.

@chris: sounds very very promising and exciting ... can't wait until next weekend and I'm really looking forward to get my hands on your new release ...

Good to see you back tetra. Not many people have survived 3000 lines of php!

Thanks slippy!

@chris:
looking promising ... raytracing included ;-) ?

@shocky:
I like the snowy drawings - in my personal view (not a graphician at all) it looks very
good. You seems to have a talent at that. Looks like perfect gfx for a xmas jump-and-run

@chris:

Not in this one, the raytracing will take a while to complete: its not just a new 4k but a whole "software" rendering pipeline. This one is "oldskool" :-) just ps2.0 shaders.

lol ...

[Shockwave]

Cheers for nice comments about the graphics They look better small on this page to be honest but anyway we'll see what I can put together for the comp

Tetra, so nice to see you back here again, hopefully you will have a great idea that is not too ambious to finish in the time frame.

Or perhaps I could run the scroll comp again so you can finish what you were working on before ?

[WidowMaker [retired]]

I am still making intros for groups...

I will release sources for this one once it is used.

[benny!]

Looking forward to see it, WidowMaker 

[taj]

That looks great widowmaker, really nice use of light, gives a real feeling of depth. I also like the logo very much. Unfortunately previous experience shows that most people wont like it (my tastes are odd) but for me, it really looks good.

I have design my own Maze in COBRA and I will have try make the puzzle maze abit harder but
here the screenshot and let me know what you think?

[Shockwave]

What sort of game are you going to make Hotshot?

Something like Pacman? Gauntlet?

There are so many different ones that you could make. Well done for sticking with Cobra, it will be nice for Graham to have some things made with his language.

[ninogenio]

im working on a christmas comp entry,

i cant say a whole lot about it other than its taken up a huge amount of my time atm, and its not a traditional take on christmas. ohh and its not a demo/intro either.

@shockwave i like the pine tree with snow drippings, any chance in you doing a top down one. i would give you credits of course, im really pants with gfx 

[Shockwave]

Top down pine tree?

I could try but I am not sure how it would look.
I've only ever drawn side-on ones before..

[ninogenio]

if you cant its cool mate!

all will become clear eventually.

[slinks]

I've been working on a new game for about a month now, hopefully it will be out before hell freezes over*. Put simply the game is 'gauntlet with guns'. Trust me, it'll play better than it sounds**. I'm using chunky sprites to try and replicate the retro-feel of the game, and it actualy looks pretty decent***! Give me a few days and hopefully I'll have some screens up for you to have a look at!
