Black Shadow: Map creation progress, and other details.
http://blackshadowgame.blogspot.com/2011/01/map-creation-progress-and-other-details.html
A Castlevania inspired platformer/hack and slash 3d game using Voxels and the Build engine. Black Shadow @ Mod Database. Wednesday, January 5, 2011. Map creation progress, and other details. Currnetly the first map is just about done, all the essential areas are completed with some alternative routes and secret areas left to complete. Dwelling within this area are three different monsters, and the queen's personal guardian. The upper half of the queen's guardian. In battle the player had sliced the g...

SAW Game Design: Recovery, distractions and more voxel fun.
http://sawgamedesign.blogspot.com/2010/11/recovery-distractions-and-more-voxel.html
A meandering of the mind in the world of game design. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Recovery, distractions and more voxel fun. Recovering from a period of sickness, my family all caught either the flu(most likely) or a cold. It was not a fun time. Being sick really puts a cramp on ones ability to code, or do much of anything else, but I managed to find energy and time to do something I once loved. Making maps in the Build engine. In light of this I have new ideas for my program Strip2Vox which converts a...

SAW Game Design: July 2009
http://sawgamedesign.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A meandering of the mind in the world of game design. Thursday, July 30, 2009. COW Prototype concept blurb. Originally nameless, and then refered to as RPG Tribute(refering to old 2d FPS rpgs), and finally conviently named COW for its slow developement and engine. The COW RPG prototype was an attempt at creating a 3d rpg with sprite characters, turn-based combat and general RPG system that had evolved from various incarnations of 'The Crawl'. Labels: Prototype Concept RPG 3D. Saturday, July 25, 2009.

SAW Game Design: Current Situation, state of progress
http://sawgamedesign.blogspot.com/2010/08/current-situation-state-of-progress.html
A meandering of the mind in the world of game design. Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Current Situation, state of progress. Things have taken new direction as of late. The recent progress in making The Crawl. In voxel style has proven successful, although progress is slow. So far The Crawl is the only project I'm making with Evaldraw, although I've have some other ideas.just not the time. One other program I've been using which has been very useful to me is GLBasic. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Bat...

SAW Game Design: Back to business...
http://sawgamedesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/back-to-business.html
A meandering of the mind in the world of game design. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Well, after a few months of a strange mental journey, among other strange and tragic events.I've scrapped plans and started a new simpler project. Using EDuke32, the Duke3d/build engine classic rendering and a combo of sprites and voxels. This time, enemy/npcs will stick to sprites, leaving objects and items to be used as voxels. The theme is sci-fi, so there will be ships of course, using voxel models. Black Shadow, in 3d.

SAW Game Design: August 2009
http://sawgamedesign.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
A meandering of the mind in the world of game design. Wednesday, August 5, 2009. Black Shadow, ala Castlevania. Originally I began designing the game in a larger than traditional view screen of 512x384, a resolution that was usable on the Super Nintendo, but rarely(Secret of Mana's stat screen), but I decided to reduce it to 320x240 after some suggestions on GMC. Reducing the size made the game more viewable and saved lesser computers the strain of processing the extra info. Enemies had some basic AI, ar...

Black Shadow: The new engine, changes involved.
http://blackshadowgame.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-engine-changes-involved.html
A Castlevania inspired platformer/hack and slash 3d game using Voxels and the Build engine. Black Shadow @ Mod Database. Saturday, March 12, 2011. The new engine, changes involved. Now thankfully I got a good taste of what Evaldraw, the new engine for Black Shadow, can do with my early work with The Crawl. With that project, the entire world was generated by voxel models, draw was handled by ray casting for objects(much faster) so there wouldn't be any over draw. Currently the average enemy is 80 voxels ...

The Crawl: New directions = new engine?
http://thecrawlrpg.blogspot.com/2010/09/well-life-and-life-had-me-away-from.html
Thursday, September 9, 2010. New directions = new engine? Well life and life had me away from coding. I was doing some tile mapping for another project or burning away precious time play Diablo 2. I just haven't been feeling it for the last month. Maybe it's just August. Anyway, I'm back up on my feet and coding again, but still haven't quite got into this project quite yet. One reason is because GLBasic newest version has me playing around with some new features. While I doubt I'll be able to pull somet...

The Crawl: August 2010
http://thecrawlrpg.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. The Crawl RPG, game details continued, Kingdoms and climates. I've decided to continue the idea I had in my concept RPG game and bring it to The Crawl. The world, posted prior to this, is divided into four major kingdoms. Boarder towns between these nations tend to be home to hybrids of the four major kingdoms, and tend to be more open to strangers, but as you get deeper into each kingdom, relations become a factor. Game wise I've decided to drop the idea of hunger and thirst,...
