Hello GameDev
In this blog I'll be covering
- development life-cycle thus far
- provide an update on dynamic structures
- introduce scripted events.
Development life-cycle
I think the time has come at last. What time is that exactly? Well let me explain...
A couple months back I was thumbing…
Hello GameDev,
This blog entry will cover new visual features added to the project.
They are in no particular order:
- Shadows
- A reflective ocean sky-box
- Vertex color noise for vegetation.
- Preliminary client GUI
But before I get to that I'd like to mention that I'm still plugging away on d…
Hello,

I've been busy working on Dynamic Assets. In order to successfully incorporate them this time around I've needed to include a whole host of programming across all the servers for this game and I thought 'why not do a blog about the servers'. I've never programmed a server before …
I'm very pleased to showcase the new functionality I've incorporated allowing the user to select many Simulin at once.
This feature was always on the back-burner because there were more pressing things to address. I'll quickly go through the technique I used.

Hello GameDev,
During my efforts to accomplish the last robust challenge of mine
I discovered a new way, for me, to speed up the processing time to achieve much faster path-finding results.
About the technique:
I created continues node loops,
Every node has information about the loop it's a m…
Hello GameDev,
This entry is going to be a big one for me, and it's going to cover a lot. What I plan to cover on my recent development journey is the following:
1 - Goal of this Blog entry.
2 - Lessons learned using Node.js for development and testing as opposed to Chrome console.
3 - Linea…
