PGD Annual 2009 - Progress

[NecroDOME]

Nice to see some real progress
Currently I'm working on creating a 3D model over a spline.

Wow, people are already getting a ways done. I'm still poking around with my chosen physics engine (APE) and creating an editor for the tables physics. Of course, I'll be releasing everything once its complete (look for a post in your projects). So far, I can edit/load/save basic physics layouts and have them interact. Working on the hard stuff now (complex objects and spring constraints to join basic particles/groups).

It's great to see some real game making activity on here again guys. Keep up the good work!

Can't wait to see how things progress over the next few months.

I have updated my blog (http://day-of-destruction.blogspot.com/) again with a new screen shot that has some 2d explosions using OpenGL triangle strips.

I would like to make the explosions look more like this (with nicer shock-wave) though:

You mean something like this?

I created that particle effect in 30 seconds with Andorra . So yeah, I'd recommend looking into particles and if not, then create blueish sprite of the same size of your asteroids and use your current effect on it; probably removing the old asteroid first.

Some great progress around here... Screenshots and the works. I seriously need to get a move on and get something to show, except for little drawings of ugly spy dudes. LOL

Progress:
Everything is going smoothly, but slow. Nothing graphical yet, tonight I'm going to give it a little more...

Minimal update, having difficulties getting complex objects to load and save. Time to really start thinking about how to manage the tree a bit better.

PS: Anyone doing an 8bit sidescroller or working with SDL might find this interesting (yeah, its a link to my site, but it is working ) http://eonclash.com/ViewProduct.php?ProductID=29

Already a game over screen? Wow. As for me, I think I'll post updates once every 1-2 weeks; just enough to keep people interested. And I'm probably gonna scratch out going for the arcade ready bonus . I think it'd be annoying, unless actually played in an arcade.
