Re: Sega Master System?

I will take the liberty of mentioning Golvellius for TruFun. :shock: Oh yeah. Damn straight. Wooooooot! For the sake of others, I will post the same list of recommended games that I sent to Falco: - Zillion - a one-of-a-kind platformer / puzzler. You have to find/memorize a code to unlock each room...

Re: I think Falco was wrong... grievously wrong...

I generally try not to concern myself with the doings of ignorant morons these days... We are programmers, artists, musicians, and engineers. We can sit around waving our dicks at each other all day about whose technology or methodology is superior... Or we can sit down, shut the fuck up, get to wo...

Re: Game Developers in April

*grumbles and goes back to work* ditto. I've got a huge project at work that is consuming my life - days, nights, and weekends. This morning I got up at 6 AM just so I could get some work done before my daughter woke up. On a some-what postive note, I've learned just how many coding hours I can squ...

Re: How do Sprite Artists Work?

My artist and I are using a tool called Sprite Buddy. Essentially this tool allows the artist to import a spritesheet and map out the different animations. He specifies the frames, X/Y offset, and duration, then everything gets exported to an XML file. The engine then imports the spritesheet and par...

Oh, and that scene in Son in Law, where Pauly Shore "toasted the data directory, tweaked the p-ram, and reglazed the subroutine." :lol:

Re: When did your journey with programming start and why?

Ever since my NES days, I've wanted to make my own games. Game development has always been the driving force for me to learn programming. For me, it started with QBasic on my Packard Bell 8086, making little game info apps, where you choose an option from a menu and it displays various video game re...
