This week, I’ve spent more time working on a Python RPG game library then I’ve spent on SBW1, so don’t expect to see a huge chunk of content added to this weeks test build update. Below is a bit of what I’ve been working on in Python, this class is a generic character class for…
Here’s my current physics method. I can guarantee you that it will change before the end, but this version seems to work pretty darn well. Today, I’d like to walk you thorough how to write a basic physics method which can be applied to any object in a side-scrolling game! Please, not, this isn’t a…
My android compilers fixed!!! It turns out that I installed the Android SDK packages but not the Google API packages. Apparently the compilers was checking for the Google Adds API (even though I’m not using adds), not finding them and throwing an exception which somehow crashed the compiler! At any rate, its fixed now, meaning…
Today I’ve fixed a couple bugs, one was this else { if vspeed > 0 move_contact_solid(270,vspeed+1) if vspeed < 0 then move_contact_solid(90,vspeed) gravity = 0 vspeed = 0 } Notice someting? An exception if vspeed == 0A super juvenile mistake!
I’ve added a new friend for my SBW block character, his/her (not sure which) is called Rovr! Currently, Rovr walks around, but if you need to can jump on his back to reach higher locations! Sure, Rovr is basically just a animated moving platform, but I may reuse Rovr for other functions later as a…
So, I’m on a roll, now that I have the physics and mechanics down, I’ve been building rooms like there’s no tomorrow, I’m currently making one room per day. At any rate, when I finish the first level I’ll post an early, unpolished build, but that’s a week off at the soonest.
Imagine a future where your handheld system can play any game, where every 2 years you pick up a new upgraded device that your library will travel with. That’s the promise of android handheld gaming, but sadly, it’s just the future. So long as a device has access to the Google play store, you’ll be…
Today, I was about to walk out the door when I thought to myself, gee, I should be writing someting and now I am. I’m still not sure where I’m headed with this blog entry but I’m sure i’ll enjoy getting there. I should be eating lunch, I should have been ready for work earlier…
I’m sure you’ve noticed that I like making old-school styled games. I thought It would only be fair to share a few of the game that have inspired me the most. Cave Story is probably my favorite game of all time, through it I learned how much a great cast of characters add to…
initial sample art from SBW1, the sucessor to rapid development platform game 1 (RDPG1). Most of this art will be remade before the end (probably). What is SBW1, its a secret and you’ll find out later!
