So someone posted a simple spaceship design, so I ran with it :)

I am currently drunk, but I want to post!

I have been working on a platformer system!~

Added a demo and some fixes/features for Mass Warfare!

Woooo!

We were supposed to meet today for SLG kickstarter, but things got mucked up. Oh well. There's always next Wednesday.

Also I totally broke my streak yesterday. Fantastic day long migraine. Oh well, I'm still optimistic.

Today I've mostly been coordinating getting SLG's kickstarter stuff.

Reviewing notes, and thinking about how to make the video.

Not too much, mostly administrative.

Mostly just brainstorming today.

I was thinking of a cookie clicker mixed with a platformer ...

I did some more work on the demo, but ran into a bug with controllers on windows. I've had a migraine today, so I'm going to take a break and fix it tomorrow I think.

So I was working on a demo internally, and I mostly ended up just fixing bugs.

I totally forgot to add a "demo info" page, so I'll have to put the demo off until tomorrow.

Just a simple demo for today, so give it a try if you have an extra controller!

Tomorrow I'll probably make a demo of Mass Warfare

Not much today, but I did add some stuff I felt was missing from Mass Warfare.

• Allow up to 8 players
• Allow 0 human players
• Colors shuffle on game start
• All ships have been reskinned as two races, four colors each with four classes each.

So, the title says it all.

v27

• Fixes the zoom bug
• Added a manual camera
• Show what player won at the end
• Adding title for non-fullscreen.

Today I've been mostly just cleaning up old game stuff.

• I added Game Jam-Chan to Ren'Py's website, and I'm waiting for that to be approved.
• Kept telling myself I really need to make demos for Mass Warfare and Judgement Arena
• Brainstorming on a video and description for Mass Warfare
• Thinking about what to do for March's 1GAM. Probably a platformer of some sort. Will probably work with someone :)

I missed the last post, but I've been game jamming all weekend, so I think it's fair to say I'm still on my streak!

I finished two games this weekend:

1. Mass Warfare - A game about universal domination!
2. Game Jam-Chan - A romantic visual novel about Game Jams that is funny, sexy and surprisingly educational!

update: originally submitted this post from my phone ...

So, there's a lot to do, but it seems manageable.

• Computer Artificial Intelligence
• Sound & Music
• Multiple players
• Polish and juice!

So I've added mouse support to:

1. Show a cursor where your mouse (or controller) is
2. Show a selection when you press and drag your left mouse button, and select the ships when the button is released.
3. Send units to your cursor when you press the right mouse button.

I'm using my dong2 (https://github.com/josefnpat/dong2/) library to interpret the mouse input, which means it should be super easy to add controllers!

And of course always some juice: Bullet spray.

With all that in mind, check out the demo video for all this on YouTube!

So I added tweening to the camera today.

Some other tweaks as well, including a background.

Check it out here!

So, not much time today, but I was able to get the camera work tonight.

The min and max on the x and y are calculated for entities, and then that is used to::

• Determine the center point to "Look At"
• Determine the scale at which to draw the scene at

MAAAAATH

Check it out working on youtube!

I can get about 400 ships duking it out now!

Check out the recording of a battle!

Got a bunch done today.

• Basic ship AI
• Team colors
• Range system
• Size, defense, reload variations
• Bullets (not working very well)
• Target dispersal

So I've started on my 1GAM for feb. I've had a LOT of ideas and a GDD, and it's nice to see all that coming together.

And very quickly I might add, especially with that `bump.lua` tech demo I made earlier.

Here is a scene with planets produced by my universe generator (http://missingsentinelsoftware.com/blog/gnuplotive...), the kikito's bump.lua library (https://github.com/kikito/bump.lua) and urraka's texpack (https://github.com/urraka/texpack)

Then I generated all the classes with my class generator (https://github.com/josefnpat/LuaClassGen) which made everything nice and squeaky clean.

So I was thinking that maybe a shadow title library would be cool, so I pulled something together.

I'm not impressed, and it probably won't make it into the game, but it was worth trying out.
