Re: Worst part of game development?

Worst part for me by far is running into bugs. Not just any bugs though, those goddamn mammoth bugs that completely halt all progress, the ones that take you weeks to fix. This has only happened to me on a few occasions, and it's a total mindfuck. But man, when you finally fix those suckers, you fe...

Re: Manaforge Tower Defense

The artwork for the towers looks great. It seems like there needs be something to tie together the artwork with the rest of the display. However, I do like how clean it looks.

Re: Beer Pong 3D (XNA)

That's a good example. I figured that was the case, it's good to hear i'm looking at it the right way with separate meshes. It has always amazed me how many models they have in aaa games along with all the bullets flying and AI pathing etc, along with a crazy environment without any problems, then ...

Re: Official "Hello, World! (I'm new!)" thread

Ohai. Aspiring developer here. I'm a hobbyist, a lot more inclined to programming, with computer engineering and all. I just started making games, I'm currently making a crappy Pong clone but, as we all know, we all have to start somewhere, right? Thanks for your time, assuming my post was noticed ...

Re: Beer Pong 3D (XNA)

Also I have been struggling a little bit the the framerate on xbox, seems it doesn't like to handle lots of complex meshes for collision. I had to take my cup mesh down quite a bit, from about 6k poly count to 1k. Was wondering, for all those experienced with 3D programming (this is my first 3d pro...

Re: Crackdown 2

I figured I'd ask here first before going to xbox360achievements.org to give anyone a chance to talk about game development or possible upcoming developments in ES ... ;) ... at least what Falco says I can leak.

Re: Post every time you beat a game.

Just beat Saints Row The Third, it was incredible. I hadn't played 1 or 2 but the third looked so vulgar i had to get it. I think a lot of the great gameplay was hidden by the fact it was so over the top. It was really fun to play. I heard a lot of really good things about Saints Row 3. One of the ...

Re: Ape Escape

One of the many classic platformers never to be ported over to the Nintendo 64 =(. I use to go over to my neighbor's house to play Ape Espace all the time!

Crackdown 2

If anyone owns Crackdown 2 and would like to play Co-op, I'm looking for someone to wrap-up all the missing achievements I haven't completed in the game.

Re: Makin' some pixel art

Sorry for the lack of updates. Have been really busy with programming, as I am joining the Global Game Jam-event. Here's a 'hanging sign', which you would hang on a house or a tree or whatever: http://www.nechrology.com/nphoto/upload/1905HangingSign.png Man this stuff looks great. Really impressed.
