Had my friend come over today

I showed him my game, and he showed me his. He's definitely got skills with Blender, so I definitely want him on board with this project. Gonna have him make a few weapons while I'm busy hanging out with my girlfriend this week. I'm excited to have some extra help!

While I should have gone to bed a while ago... progress has been made, and I am happy. This is exactly the direction I wanted the wall destruction to go, and the performance of that many physics objects actually isn't bad! I'm halfway to making it even more efficient already, and while I had to do everything in the picture myself, I'm already on the way to making that kind of large scale collapse occur automatically (I believe I mentioned that in one of my earlier posts). Hooray for late night programming. Also I almost forgot to post this, I got sidetracked again. Good job me.

More programming stuff!

Took a crash course in LINQ, it's pretty useful and quite easy since I took SQL before. I don't know why I never learned it sooner!

Just getting some extra programming in since I've had a bit of an itch, probably because my job has been keeping me from doing anything lately... So yeah, not much got done with the game over the last week. My girlfriend is also visiting this week, so not much will get done in the near future either =P

This is why I need to hurry up, get my game on Kickstarter, hope to get funded so I can quit working my crappy retail job, and do what I love to do for a living.

Coolest. Thing. Ever.

I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. I wonder how long it'll take to implement Rift support for my game...

Just did a few improvements today, nothing special. Finished walling in the town, updated some prefabs, made new ones (like the gates at the far left of the picture and at the back of the castle), and changed up some code to fix bugs and improve a few things.

Still waiting to talk more with my new friend from work before continuing with modelling weapons. I haven't been lazy! I suppose in the meantime I can add in a player character, and work with some inputs in preparation for having the weapons in-game. I might also work on a menu screen, I will need that at some point. I'd like to get some pre-tech-demo versions out with some play testers before I head to Kickstarter. I've come a long way, but there's still a lot to do!
