Light bug

Made for loopdeloop, January 2014. This was made in a semi-3D engine I created in Flash called ‘DX3’, it lets you make simple things in 3D but you can manipulate any of the parts as 2D at any point in the render pipeline and can use all the normal 2D effects you might find in Flash / AS3. I’ll write a little more about it later, allows some really cool 2D / 3D crossover stuff.

Making a hologram

Have to get rid of those pesky lines and this guy will be fun. No editing tricks or Photoshop, this is just how the photo came out of the camera.

Dodecahedrons #2

December probably isn’t the month to try and make a game as fast as possible. Things are still happening though. Since last post I’ve added a track, a track generator, a thing to turn the track into 3D objects in a track, and a track bending thingy. The track is actually completely straight, it just looks bendy because of a weird space warp thingamabob I wrote to bend the 3D points that the world is comprised of based on how far away things are. I want it to be smoother, but the maths is too hard right now. The idea behind the game keeps changing, so I’d expect the dodecahedrons may be replaced with something else, maybe maybe.

Dodecahedrons

I have a new game in the works that I have three goals for. One, make it fast. Two, use the new DX3 library I made for doing pseudo-3D graphics with nice lines in Flash (will post more about this later). Three, get it done. Basic physics, basic graphics, basic control scheme, basic game state control, basic menu system, basic resource loading, basic camera behaviour and a rough cut of the game’s music all done so far, really going to try to get this pounded out. Go time.

I have so many unfinished games #3

This one was made to be the sequel of a really old game I once made called 'The Missile Game 3D'. I got this level working but was beaten by a total lack of time to work on games during my uni course, and then never felt the need to get back to it. Plus it’s using ActionScript 2 and there’s no way I’m going back to that.

Much cooler with the song to go with it.

I have so many unfinished games #2

This one was made for a class. The idea was that the clock keeps ticking and determines whether you had to walk or fly (stepper or flapper), so you’re always under pressure to complete each section before you transform again. Making the puzzles was more difficult to get right than I thought, so I didn’t continue this after the class was done. Level design is often such a huge task and it has to go relatively smoothly and unforced for a game to be worth building all the way through.

I have so many unfinished games #1

This one was made with a friend. That jumping guy’s name is Lollergaggle. We had all these characters planned out and everything. At least one character was going to be called “Uncle Fitzfn-n-n”. I was going to be awesome. Someone else should finish it for us.
