It's been a wee while...

It's been a while since my last post so thought I'd best check in... I've been working on the plan for my game and have also been reading Steffen Itterheim's excellent cocos2d book (2nd edition) which has been updated for iOS5. It also gives an introduction to kobold2d. The next step is to create the graphics for my game. I've been doing some sketching and as I said previously, I'm no graphic artist so I'll need to see how they turn out. My awareness of my lack of talent in the graphics creation department got me thinking about buddying-up with someone local who I could collaborate with, hopefully someone with an artistic flair. I started scouring the web for a site where I might find some such person and couldn't find one! So as a parallel project I'm going to put a site together to serve this purpose. It'll be somewhere that people can register their skillset and a few other details with a view to creating/joining a team for collaboration on development projects. I'll put up some details of the site once I get the first iteration ready. Bye for now...

From the site:

cocos3d, a significant extension to cocos2d that adds a full 3D modelling space, including 3D mesh models, perspective projection cameras, materials, and lighting. With cocos3d, you can populate your world with 3D models exported from 3D editors such as Blender, 3ds Max or Cheetah3D, combined with models you create dynamically in your Objective-C code

Cocos Goes 3D! (iPhone)

I am pleased to announce the public release of cocos3d, a significant extension to cocos2d that adds a full 3D modelling space, including 3D mesh models, perspective projection cameras, materials, and lighting. With cocos3d, you can populate your world with 3D models exported from 3D editors such as Blender, 3ds Max or Cheetah3D, combined with models you create dynamically in your Objective-C code.

Integration with cocos2d is seamless. Rendering of all 3D model objects occurs within a special cocos2d layer, which fits seamlessly into the cocos2d node hierarchy, allowing 2D nodes such as controls, labels, and health bars to be drawn under, over, or beside 3D model objects. With this design, 2D objects, 3D objects, and sound can interact with each other to create a rich, synchronized audio-visual experience.

Like cocos2d, cocos3d is written entirely in Objective-C, and many of your favourite cocos2d paradigms, such as CCActions, are available for 3D objects. And like cocos2d, it is distributed for free under an MIT license.

Even more!?

As if having a nerdgasm over Xcode 4 GM seed wasn't enough, I discovered another announcement.

There's an extension to Cocos2d released, called.... *drumroll* Cocos3d! Holy shit! This is going to be way awesome, or so I choose to believe. I imagine making the game a 2.5d platformer instead. So many possibilities!
