Ive been a bad boy + quickly threw together another demo, I was seeing how competitive breakout/arkenoid/pong would be, you against the cpu, the one to knock out the most bricks wins (perhaps expand to 3 or 4 players).

lying bed last night drinking some wine (to aid the flowing of the creative juices mind)
OK bugger reality + the clichedness.

going reasonable I suppose (hopefully a big push this weekend + a new demo out), theres little men run around picking up the jewels now.

I have spent not much time spent on it recently

Does anyone have any ideas?, Ive heard bugeyed monsters, retro 50s sci-fi
I might have some time to program today so hopefully will get some more …

the games pretty sorted now basic gameplay wise
A/ first the humanoids along the bottom were your lives, they would mate + produce offspring thus more lives thus the key of the game was to protect your ppl
good idea, but to much to focus on in a fast paced action game

its actually quite fun to play

finished another game that Ive been working on over the last few months.

If only everyone had a cell processor in their PCs as well

SSAO - like in the screenshot of rocks + grass (Im not sure if Ill use it though due to the performance hit, and Im not sure if it add…

a few things Ive done recently

info for beginners, always try to have something onscreen that lets u visually see
whats going on, save so much time with debuggging etc
eg the following, green == visual/reaction range, red = attack range

shit a major undertaking
all this building of building + attacking crap
shit I think the best course of action is just to do it
progress report 0.5 percent
btw alexmoura thats a valid point about maximizing the 'front line' Ill keep that in mind (hell perhaps I will go for a bar along the bottom)

working on the sidebar, one of the most important elements in a RTS, one thing I cant understand is why often in RTSs etc they usually have the bar along the bottom of the screen?
Perhaps the reason is cause windows etc have their bars along the bottom, I have mine on the side, which make far more l…

Q/ which one these meshes requires the more computing power

gah rant - spent at least couple of hours over the weekend trying to make a skinned mesh with an old version of 3dmax, a right royal PITA vertices were getting bone weights even though they were not inside the bones influence region, I had to manually change some of the weights one at a time, even …

NOTE - ive removed the backgroundbody cause
A/ cutdown download size + B/ I dont wanna show all my cards at once :)

quite a productive day today.

Im thinking about dropping smartbombs (though having them as triggered when the player goes over them)
