JSEDLAK'S 'TOWER DEFENSE' PROGRESS

John Sedlak has published a new video showing off the new added menu elements and sounds to his version of "Tower Defense".

From John's post: "... A lot of progress made on Tower Defense over the week so far. We have weapons rotating and shooting as well as music and sound! Check out the new page for the game to see the latest screenshots and get the latest code release here. Note that although it comes with Thrust DLLs, it is in no way a release of the library and could be buggy and/or inefficient. Also note that I realize the video isn't the smoothest of gameplay videos, Camtasia seems to really hog up the computer when recording nowadays and I can't seem to get a smooth video anymore. I assure you the game runs at a consistant 63fps when not recording ...".

AREN'T "THEY INCREDIBLES"?

If you happened to read some of my previous posts you may have noticed that I'm quite a fan of comics books, superheroes films and animations.

If you did, you may have also noticed that I'm a fan of the animated movie "The Incredibles", but the video you are going to watch is way too much, so relax and ... enjoy??

Having watched this, only one question remains: what's next?

UPDATE: "THE DUNGEON QUEST" GAME

Benjamin has released a new build of the game called "The Dungeon Quest", which was part of the XNA Challenge (GDC'07).

The update fixes some minor bugs, boosts performance, and adds new features but it requires a videocard that supports Shader Model 3.0 -if you happen to have a lowerend GPU, say, the nVidia GeForce 6600 card (like I do), make sure to run the game in a lower resolution to seed up things a little bit more.

Those big ogres are awesome.

Great level ... Cannot wait to get the book ... ;)

RPG ZERO: GETTING BETTER AND BETTER

Gamey Little Hacker had promissed to post comments related to development of 'RPG Zero'. Remember?

Well, according to this new post things are going better and better as you can see in this awesome video:

Ok, no skeleton-based animations yet. Who cares? The eye-candy is there, the gameplay seems really catchy and it is data-driven.

So GLH, just keep up the good work!

GAMEY LITTLE HACKER'S 'RPG ZERO'

On previous posts I commented that GLH had published some handy source code and tips for data-driven games, in particular, RPG ones.

Well, GLH is back with an awesome demo video of a starting RPG project:

From GLH's site: "When I started writing about game programming here last month, I really did want to practice a little altruism and share some stuff with the community. I'm afraid the vanity levels on this project however, make it wholly unsuitable to share as good practice. The sheer self indulgence in the code should warn people away. I really can't in good conscience recommend anyone learn anything from this... the scripting language is an own rolled, interpreted, prefix notated, reflection driven nightmare for pete's sake!

I would like to share though. So if anyone is interested in watching, I'll post the goings on in my RPG land."

So, what do you think? Should we be interested?

C'mon! Pay a visit to this site and let GLH know that you are interested ... I did ... ;)

XNA - PART 2 VIDEO

You wanted it, you've got it!

The second part of this series is showing in detail not only some of the games we are all already aware of, but new ones that you -like me- may have never heared of until now.

XNA GSE v1 is just the beginning ...

NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 LAUNCH EVENT VIDEO

Published on GameTrailers.com, the video shows a few but still impressive images of what the new card has to offer to gamers and why not, developers.

If the computer-hardware industry continues to grow like this, and users eventually buy this powerhouses, techinques like static lightmapping may become an antique.

Coming next: XNA - Part 2 ...
