All of the random writings on my current game development.

    I’ll return to Dynamite Max. First, I need to kill some ZOMBIES.

    I’m not happy with the way things are going with Dynamite Max, and I want to save that idea/IP for the future, when my engine is more developed. So now I’m just going to make a sidescrolling zombie shooter. Not nice as Dynamite Max, seeing as there won’t be as…

  • Oh, that's pretty!

    Unintentional motion-blur in Away3DLite

    So I was working with some semi-transparent planes to add some darkness / depth to my game, and came across a strange bug.

  • Away3DLite and new recording software

    Away3DLite and new recording software

    Engine was stripped down, rebuilt using Away3DLite. Now I have to turn it back into a game. Well, what can I say? Switching to Away3DLite was a larger task than I thought it would be, and now that things seem to be working, I’ll have to copy / paste a…

  • Yeah, I love it so much that I felt obligated to add Companion Cubes, the best kind of cube ever.

    Done with Papervision3D. Hate Away3D… Love Away3DLite!

    Ok, so the last 2-3 posts were pretty hate filled because a papervision bug almost threw my game in the toilet. People say how much better and similar Away3D is to Papervision, because it’s a ‘branch’ or derivative. But the only similarity you’re likely to see these days is the painter’s…

  • FINE! I’LL SWITCH TO AWAY3D.

    FINE! I’LL SWITCH TO AWAY3D.

    So I started to notice a little bit of a performance drop, and I could swear I smelled memory leak. I’ve been using an older version of FlashDevelop, and noticed that the newer versions came with a memory profiler! Awesome! Long story short, Papervision3d has some problems with ViewportLayers. I…

  • Command console ready to go!

    Command console ready to go!

    Been working hard on my game. Recently broke the renderer, but hey, at least I have a fully functional console now! I know it isn’t much, but things have been moving slowly for me. Here’s a picture! I’ve got culling and whatnot to work, and things seem to run pretty…

  • New UI. Performance monitoring. Papervision changes on the fly.

    New UI. Performance monitoring. Papervision changes on the fly.

    As you can see, I’ve used the UI library from http://minimalcomps.com/

  • Is Papervision3D really dead?

    Is Papervision3D really dead?

    So I’ve noticed there hasn’t been too many updates on Papervision recently, and it’s understandable because there hasn’t been much out there to increase performance, even though I see away3d constantly getting updates. I don’t really care for Away3D. Away3D performance is poor, and I got started with Papervision, so…

  • Ow my face!

    Distractions and experiments!

    So today I was playing around and making some new skins for my enemies and my main character, when I decided to do this…

  • Overloading my game with effects

    Overloading my game with effects

    So now that I’m pushing hard to get my game out, I’ve run into some issues. I’ve had to cut a lot of features to get the game out ASAP, and this has helped for the most part. But there are some features which are pretty much finished, but not…

  • Finishing a game

    Finishing a game

    Just read an article suggested by the guys in FGL chat. http://makegames.tumblr.com/post/1136623767/finishing-a-game Wow, I think the post was made specifically with me in mind. Taking pretty much all of these tips into account, I’ve found that I’m getting a 2nd wind. By cutting/simplifying my project, I have much more realistic…

  • New look coming. Fallout-ish game plans.

    New look coming. Fallout-ish game plans.

    Gonna pretty up the blog soon. It’s too bland. I’ve been getting a lot of comments and messages about VaultScript, my GMod gamemode that was abandoned when I moved to rural Missouri. Since then I’ve switched to flash games to pay the bills. Now that true 3d is coming to…
