Hey! Proselytizer is now available on Chrome Webstore.
If you have the time to leave a nice review to tell onlookers that it ain't plain poo, it would be great! :)
To celebrate this, prices have been laser cut and the number of free travels has been increased.
I am working on a 2.5D remake of a game I really enjoyed on my old CPC: Bombjack,
Today the game looks like this:
I wanted to use this month's game to learn how to create and use 3d sprites and animations.
Learning how to create and animate things using Blender took a little bit of time but wasn't really complicated.
Finding a good export format and using the result with Away3D required more tests and fixes.
Now everything works fine.
The TODO list:
Too long a list for one remaining day… Nevermind, I'll try to finish Bombcat in May.
This month I wanted to learn some 3D programming bases.
I also wanted to create a game which would please to my 3 years old son.
Playing with colored cubes, I chose a simple sculpture/painting gameplay I and my son found enjoyable.
The goal of the game is to reproduce 3D forms digging a cube. The player can paint freely. Nothing too fancy but it's fun and it just fitted perfectly my own goals :)
I'll have to improve the game a little bit next week but you can already play it here: http://articube.labe.me
Whether it be good or bad for it, my games are yet to be discovered by the world.
Hence, when someone talks about something I made, I like to celebrate with a post there :)
Today Flying Saucer Championship appeared in the Leap Motion Developer newsletter:
Retro gaming meets sci-fi motion-control technology. Flying Saucer Championship, labe-me’s latest creation, is a flying saucer race that you can play from your browser. Warning: you may lose several hours of your life playing this game.
Short and strait to the fun!
After testing the game a little bit more with a game-pad and the keyboard, I decided that the game will be dedicated to the Leap Motion controller and won't have any extra controller scheme.
A great part of the fun resides in controlling the saucer with the finger and learning how to do it well (ie: improving this very special skill).
Doing it with a game-pad would require me to create a totally different game-play to keep the control skill interesting.
I may try the mouse scheme in the future which could give some interesting feeling too…
Anyway, I think I will work on another race game later this year, this time with competitors!
As far as Flying Saucer Championship is concerned, a ranking table is planed and an Improved version may be delivered to the Leap Motion application store (Airspace) in May or June.
As announced earlier the game requires a Leap Motion controller to work :)
The good news is: they announced today that shipping will begin the 13th of may, 3 days before my birthday ;)
Since only a few of you will have the device (at the time I am writing this), I filmed a really bad race and put it on Youtube for your pleasure (and my shame):
Just in time to go spend a few days with my familly. I will think about the march game on the road!
