Day 6!

https://wasdmagician.wordpress.com/

I'm less worried about this now than I was yesterday, that is essentially the game, the rest is going to be aesthetics and tweaking

As earlier, any suggestions welcome.

And here is the download link for A Death a Dozen v0.0.5

Sorry, seems to be some problems with the lights:

Exception: No uniform called lightPositions exists.

Sorry, seems to be some problems with the lights:

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that your graphics driver optimizes the uniforms away if they are in a for-loop with loop count 0.

Here's a build that first checks if the uniforms related to the points light are present before setting them:

Smarty graphics driver, now it works OK .

We missed day five post because well ti was a very long 48 hours and just didn't have the energy to make a post. The good news is the tutorial level is multiplayer now and we were able to perform a successful game test. We have also uploaded it to GameJolt so you can check out a very rough version of the game at:

I'll try and get a build up for everyone to download today so that there is something playable. Still need to work on the tutorial way points which is what I have been dedicating for today.

I've uploaded a new beta version here
Some further feed back would be appreciated.
It is just about finished, Just some pollishing left to do.

Fun fact: There are about 60 __debugbreak calls still in there

Ryan.

ah, well i can now discern what's what. i can't seem to keep my junior balls alive more than a few seconds however, as the current level is essentially one large arena. however controls seem pretty solid. not too bad overall though.

ah, working now on my end. I like the atmosphere, and adding the "reclaim at gravestone" is a good touch as i didn't understand that the first time. you also look to have started working on progressing levels! now it's time to see what level designs you come up with to make use of your concept.

Just a quick update from here, I'll write a full journal later.

Spent day 3-4 working through AI problems, still plenty exist but it is somewhat playable now. I will be posting an early alpha version later to hopefully find issues on peoples computers (that aren't known).

Last night was a solid 20 hour day, but after I finished the AI work, I banged out a ton of easier new features that were required so I finally felt some accomplishment.

Here is a teaser image until I can get a journal entry up.

This is a a quick update to say that my game development is being powered by 32 hrs without sleep, a lot of coffee, and lots and lots of Mumford and Sons. I hope everybody is doing better than I.

End of day 6 for me, It has been a good day (because all the major internals were done)

Another entry in my journal.

I think I am doing a lot better then last year, But then last year I had to learn how to use Bullet physics on about the third day and that was a little stress full.

Keep up the good work every one!

Initial ground work done. I'm ready for some gameplay programming :D.
