Shapeshifting Your Way Through Party at the Knightclub

Shapeshifting Your Way Through Party at the Knightclub

Sifting through numerous games on Itch this morning and came across Party at the Knightclub, which is interesting on a number of levels and one of those being that is was developed using Superpowers HTML – a free and open source tool for creating 2D and 3D games. Superpowers makes collaboration very easy and has an active community on Itch which you should check out. Created for Ludum Dare 35 by…

Voici mon premier test d’un jeu vidéo original made in Alsace. C’est lors de la Global Game Jam que la Gudulteam a commencé la réalisation de Meurtre à la Résidence Gudul. C’est par la suite que Sparklin Labs a terminé le développement du jeu. Pour y jouer : http://gudul.sparklinlabs.com/ Petite rectification, il ne s’agit pas d’un chien, mais d’un chiomme ! -> http://strasetpixels.canalblog.com/pages/videos/31586058.html

Worlds MMO Weekly #10: the end?

So, we got some sad news.

We've invested a lot of time developing Worlds over the last few months. We've gotten quite far but there's a huge amount of work left to even get close to a releasable game and we're not confident we can get the game profitable, seeing as we're a very small team and MMORPGs require a lot of on-going work to run.

With Superpowers finally coming together, we've decided to put Worlds on hold and focus on making more manageable games with our shiny new game-making software!

We're preparing one final Worlds update to be released Friday with new maps and one complete dungeon to thank to everyone who followed the project as we worked on it!

Thanks and stay tuned for more fun games very soon :)

Superpowers Weekly #10: static 3D models!

Hey everyone!

So a bit over a week ago we took part in Ludum Dare. The game is getting some great comments and we couldn't be happier about it.

Just before that, we got the scene editor to a point where it could sort of do things:

Then component editing UI was added:

We added a button to open editors in a separate window:

We added support for importing 3D static models (OBJ format). First without any textures:

And then with textures with Pixel-boy's awesome character model:

We're now working on getting animated models working (using the new glTF format). Quite a bit of work ahead but it's coming together!

Other stuff we worked on include:

The alpha testing factor can now be tweaked in the sprite editor

Scrolling around when zoomed in in the sprite & map editor now works properly

Fixed bugs with collaborative script editing (and got CodeMirror to fix a bug of their own)

Project IDs are now random strings instead of sequential IDs, makes it easier to move projects from one server to another and avoid ID collisions

Fixed reparenting bug in scene editor

Added a proper loading bar / splash screen when running a game

And much more!

As always, check out the Trello board and Twitter @SuperpowersDev to follow our progress in more details. And go play Hunt The Yeti!

Hunt The Yeti, our entry for Ludum Dare 31 ("Entire Game on One Screen"). Play and rate it on LudumDare.com or on itch.io

We're incredibly excited about this game, not only because we had a blast building it over the last 72 hours and because it might just be our best jam game yet, but also because it's the first full-blown game ever to be made with Superpowers, our upcoming HTML5 2D/3D game maker.

We had to jump through some hoops with the very green scripting language as well as fix some bugs, but overall it worked out very well and the various editors (sprite, map and scene) were great to use.

With the experience gathered over the week end, we're going to improve various parts of the software before our next stop: the Global Game Jam happening in late January! Also, while we focused on 2D for this Ludum Dare, we'll now be getting started on 3D tools... Can't wait!
