Elysian Shadows

When I look at the AAA games that got me really hooked. Apart from making me want to carry on playing, they all seemed to guide me via use of visual clues(lighting, placement) or sound effects as to what I was supposed to be doing. Or these elements were used to inform the player something has happe...

Sure, well, I don't have time for this riff-raff so you keep doing what you do best and I'll keep doing what I do best and we'll see who makes more of a success of their career. sure sure.. so what you are saying is you are not man enough to apologize for your slander against ES.. say what you want...

Thanks, but trust me there is plenty still wrong.

Here is my latest attempt. Added some new power-ups and features. I also added the ability to die! [youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1ArkiT08Yew&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&featur...

Yes. That is entirely possible. I could also have clouds rendered with an alpha value that will be rendered over the player to give the impression that you are flying through them. Each star is basically a sprite. I have at the moment 4 layers of them scrolling at diffferent speeds to give the illus...

Thanks for the kind words. Still so much to do.

A particle effect?....Hmmmmm. Gives me an idea.

BTW...the city scape is still being used.

Slowly, but surely! Unfortunately the combination of CamStudio, a couple thousand sprites being updated and then a Youtube conversion completely butt fucked any quality out of the video. [youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://ww...

What I don't get is who the hell is that advert aimed at?

...as for the Linux store comment. As soon as I saw the link I started looking at the new features in the next Ubuntu LTS release.

I take it you haven't seen the adverts yet.

WARNING THE ABOVE LINK IS PAINFUL!

Throughout secondary school basketball was my drug and I was the captain of the team. However when I got a "real" job I stopped playing. I am seriously sucky at it now. I used to train Muay Thai for about two years religously, but that sport is too addictive and not good for someone with s...

LOL!!

When choosing my avatar it was between tin foil shredder or the one of my giving a thumbs up whilst sitting on the bog.

You just gave me an idea. Buy some more RAM for this aging piece of junk....I mean solid and reliable super computing powerhouse!

PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME!!!

I am making a 2d side scrolling space shooter. So have no use for human-like characters at the moment. If I ever finish this project I am going to make a platformer, but I would definitely get my gf to do the art for that as she can do awesome animation!

Walk cycles are a bitch to get right!

I just blew up my 3rd laptop charger. 0_o Having to use my old Ubuntu box. A P4 with only 512MB of RAM......ugh! Short of stripping my HDD out of my laptop I have no access to all the code I wrote in the last couple of months and since I haven't used this machine in ages it has a billion updates to ...

Thanks dude, I figured as much. Just getting very frustrated at the slowness of it all. 3d graphics are a little beyond me at this point. I DLed Blender a couple of months back to just have a look. I was completely baffled by the interface. I also tinkered with attempting to create simple polygons u...
