what a tool

Wednesday, 24 February 2010 15:56

Some people have asked me what am I using for the game development...

I use a couple of tools, firstly for my IDE, I used to work with NetBeans and loved it, nowadays I use mainly Eclipse for my java and C++.

Next its programing language, since the good guys at LWJGL were kind enough to create a very fast OpenGL port for java, I have mainly used Java in my game dev.

Game Engine wise I use only Slick2D now for 2D, JMonkeyEngine for 3D.

Lots of tools, like Spartan Framework for entity stuff, Tiled for 2D maps, for graphics Gimp and Inkscape.

And that's it...

Tomorrow... don't miss the next gameplay video, now with enemies, animations and multi-player...

See you soon...

Mind Map

Thursday, 11 February 2010 19:23

I've started to use mind map for my projects, so I dont have to use a regular txt file.

I'm starting to love this kind of stuff, so let's check it out how the Holodeck Wreck project came out on a Mind Map.

Its not even fully expanded.

I've been using it for a day and already re factored some parts of the game because of this, if you can try it, do it its amazing.

Check it out in here...

Now back to work...

Artist needed

Tuesday, 09 February 2010 10:21

Hi everyone, I got the game to a level that I think I could release a video... but I would like to get an artist to draw some sprites for it.

Unfortunately, its a very small game and my budget is as always short ... and nobody works for free :D

Anyway, I hope to bring you some news shortly and even some screenshots and videos of the game.
