Post by: x on March 22, 2011, 07:17:24 PM
What are people currently working on?

New games seem like a rarity at the moment and I'm wondering about whats going on.

I was working on a scrolling space shooter in GM, but that isn't going to smoothly. I sort of gave up on Adventure 4 for now. My new idea is a game where you are a wizard guy, and you stand in the middle PCMCIA screen. Enemies come from all directions, and your only weapon is a floating ball of energy. You control the energy ball with the mouse, and hit the enemies. Of corse, I haven't even started this (I'm on vacation)

I feel like I posted in this kind of thread a few weeks ago.  Anyway, I'm working on a new website:  http://charlo.gamemakersgarage.com/

Tim just got me set up with a MySQL database so the news/games databases (which I have working on my local machine) should be up and running soon.  Then I will only have my own procrastination to blame for not getting the site in good working order.  The site is basically just a test of my coding/design skills, but I might as well have it up for you all to see.

I also have a puzzle game in SC that's near completion.  Just a few more levels and a final cutscene, plus maybe a level editor.  Screens will be on the website.

It seems that way to me too. and you've posted this exact thing before also. The website rules, but there's a database error, so nothing works.

Web front-end for an online snail-mail printing system.

I should probably point out that one of Apple's selling points for a Mac is that it runs Windows...
Title: Re: Current Projects
Post by: Zoo on March 23, 2011, 07:56:46 PM
Why buy a mac if you want to use windows? And a P.C. can run mac OS too, you just need to hackintosh.

No idea, probably because some people have more money than sense and just want the Apple logo on what is essentially a laptop packed into a flat-screen monitor :P

This is a discussion about current projects. no need to discuss whether macs are better than P.C.s. We all know anyway.

Indeed. I should point out that I'm using Windows on my snail-mail project because it's less hassle when it comes to the software side of things. It's essentially a database loosely hooked up to an email account with Outlook: customer types in message, selects an address from a pull down menu which is filled by that customer's contact list from the database (done in Access, which sucks, but nevermind), whole thing is sent as plain text to an email address that is checked by Outlook with a rule applied to print that message out and then the message list is stripped of traction feed paper and cut where messages start and finish. The only reason I can't use a Mac for this is because I cannot find a driver for my dot-matrix printer, and using listing paper is pretty much essential to the entire operation.

Why Win2k? Why not a good OS like XP?

I'm on XP, but I prefer the old logo :P

I like how "XP" looks like a face with it's eyes shut sticking out it's tongue. It's kinda like "XD".

Hey GMG. After exams I totally crashed, lost motivation to work on anything and spent break traveling and looking at colleges. My life has been changing a lot lately and I've had less time and less energy to spend on game development.

That doesn't mean I've given up programming! Now that break is over and I have a schedule I think I'll be able to snap out of this and be active here again.

Hey Warhampster, long time no speak :P Are you on Facebook?

Post by: WarHampster on March 29, 2011, 06:40:16 PM
Yeah, the name's Sam Posner (I should come up if you put in my email).

What colleges did you look at?

Johns Hopkins, Haverford, Swarthmore, and Penn. Haverford and Swarthmore are currently my top choices, I'm looking for a small college at which I can study both humanities and computer science.
