I'm Alive!

Fear not fellow bloggers/people who actually follow my blog. I am still alive, and I am as motivated as ever to get to work on a game!

I had the idea while back for a 3D game engine. I've come to realize that what I want is not only an engine but a full development kit allowing you to easily drag, drop, and script a game. So I got to work on some research. I've got a rough idea of how it will work. I am now working on prototypes for the actual engine, aka the part that actually runs the games. I'll be doing many a 3D opengl/Qt test and should have some updates in the near future.

For now I'm working on a basic camera/entity system in OpenGL so wish me luck and I shall see your bright shiny faces soon!

THA DEV SESSION

I've been taking the long weekend to do a project to up motivation for other projects. It was kind of a dud, but also kind of what I needed. It got me back into the swing of programming and it reminds me of the old days when there would be a problem, I'd spend a couple minutes working out a solution then implementing the solution. Sadly it also reminded me of how many problems come along with game development, especially when you've been out of the scene for so long. None the less this weekend of devving has motivated me to get to work on the Editor and also to work on some personal things on the side... on that note back to devving

I finished a space invaderz game

Ok well I made a space invaders clone of sorts, not very good, but it was really just to learn how to set up a window and draw with opengl... Then I started trying to add features and make it a full game, so basically I was turning it into a project when it was supposed to be a test... But here are screenshots

And now the real game development can begin! MWUAH HA HA HA HA HA... all I can say is, it will be 3D and it will have shooting... I have done my research, I know what I want, I know how I wish to implement it, I have actually started and got some things done! Farewell for now!
