Devlog 10: You are the bullet in the chamber of the gun

June 17, 2013

This is extremely exciting for me.

My engine running a game on a retina display and it doesn't look like a load of bollocks.

Devlog 09: It's hard to know they're out there

Progress is coming along rather well on the engine. I've got scripting access via Squirrel and Sqrat. I was very proud of myself that first moment I accessed the C++ engine from a script. It's not often I feel smart, but that was one moment.

Ideas for the game's content are constantly percolating in my head. Sometimes it feels like a disservice to spend so much time wrapped up in the tech of the thing, but it's vital for this to be a success in my eyes. I want my vision to be fulfilled in a timely manner, though, so I won't spend half my life perfecting this thing. Rapid iterations!

Also, I've been wondering what's best when it comes to distributing the game's code. I want modifications to be possible, but I'd absolutely hate for someone to steal my game and make it their own. I guess I'll need to work out a license that permits mods, but not complete redistributions. That's putting the complete game cart in front of the work horse, though.

I'll have screens as soon as possible! Unfortunately, code screenshots are about as boring as it gets, so nothing for now. Stay tuned, true believers.

Devlog 08: Can you rock?

Here's the first screenshot of a Massive Engine "game". It's C++ and it's awesome. OpenGL is neither fun nor easy, but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm still fleshing out some bits of the engine, but it's nearly to the point where I can port over some of my old Lua jazz.

Oh man, I still have to do Lua bindings on top of all this. Ugh.

Where do I begin? 1 terabyte of free storage, a sweet photostream redesign, and full-resolution photo display. Oh, there's a new Android app or whatever. LIKE I GIVE A RIP.

I guess I need to start uploading some photos.
