Yeah, almost the whole thing is planned out but we're not planning on supporting any other platforms besides PC haha and yeah, Homer-16 I defintely take lots of inspiration from minecraft.
Thanks! This is my first time playing with raycasting. I learned it from http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/raycast/index.html (top Google search result, anyway) and I really recommend it if you want to learn.
Exactly how I learned, too. I think this is a magic tutorial.
At first I thought this thread was saying that buttsfredkin is the same persone as Lincoln Brewster (random artist) IN which case my question was going to be......WHAT?? Lol but now this makes sense and butts....ER linc, how old do you have to be to intern? Cause I am so game for doing something like that!! And towards the linc and Zelda comment.....hmmmm I should talk to blakpilar about letting me write linc/buttsfredkin into our version of Zelda!!!
I think the age limit is internship-specific, depends on what you're going for.
ill post screenies later, but i found a few glitches:
1) With a single pair of blocks (a platform), you can move wherever you want to in the room. 2) You can get infinite blocks.
Edit: I also got stuck on a level that seems impossible to me because there is an invisible wall blocking you from the left side of the flag and there is a solid platform below it (the flag is in the top-right corner.
Hm...I don't think I can help you unless you provide me with screenies it appears the game is buggy
hm, unintentional but possibly subliminal Nah, I've never heard of him. It's just a name we came up with, semi-based on one of our friends middle names, LeRoi.
A friend from school and I are working on a role-playing game. Both of us are pretty heavily interestedin going into the game programming industry as careers, so basically in an effort to get as much of a head start as possible in the indie game industry, we're making games!
Anyways. This is our first project, an unnamed RPG for PC. I'm doing all the programming, in C/C++ and SDL, and my friend's doing level design, art and music. We just barely started doing actual work, and as such don't have a playable demo right now. For the most part, we're planning everything out, in-depth storyline, etc.
The way I'm doing the programming is slightly backwards - I'm getting the menu screen, notepad, inventory, map, and save screen out of the way before I get to work on the meat and potatoes, the tiling engine, etc.
So using Visual C++, the GIMP and my mad skillz (not) I wrote the in-game menu, like when you press escape, the game grays out and this pop-up appears:
Haha this is about all I have to show so far. Well, I take it back - I've actually completed the notes-taking page too, so as soon as I write the Inventory and the View Map deal I can get to work on the actual game.
As I mentioned above, so far we don't actually have a name for the game yet, but we came up with a name for the main character, Zak Leroi. Also, we're trying to come up with a name for our company, so if you have any ideas, let me know
OK, as some of you know I've recently changed my display name to LincolnB (thanks to Deep Thought) The reason for this is, I was going to apply for an internship at Microsoft this summer, and I wanted to show off some of my programming and calc stuff, so I wanted to link to my Omni and Ceme accounts on my resume. However I didn't think the name Butts would look particularly good, so I'm changing it.
On a side note, I can't get the internship because i'm a year too young so, next year!
