Wee Update
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010World Cup … nae work
Sunday, June 27th, 2010Argh!! Why is it whenever I plan to do something I end up not doing it? Well the World Headers Cup game still needs work whereas I’ve been sitting watching the world cup avoiding it! Anyway hopefully will get a wee video up at some point soon but there is NO CHANCE now of it coming out before the world cup ends but ahh well hopefully someone will buy it while they cry salty tears of sadness that the world cup finished months ago.
I’m thinking about updating some of the pages on the website as well i’ve been neglecting it for too long but it’s time to update most of it but we’ll see if the weather and world cup will stop me bothering.
Update, what have I been doing?
Sunday, June 6th, 2010Well so much for me updating the site more often with more time! Life has suddenly taken over my time but I’ve finally got a chance to update World Headers Cup, although it isn’t going to make it for the world cup starting hopefully i’ll be able to finish it before the end of the World Cup. Click the picture for a look full size.
Even in that screenshot that still has a few bits and pieces to be updated before it’s flung in for playtest but it’s coming together … slowly.
I’ll give a wee list of things I’ve updated:
* Can now send a message to a friend about the game over Xbox LIVE
* Can start the game with any attached controller
* Graphics
* Modified the menu system to be more robust
* Tweaked the gameplay
* Animated some of the crowd
Stuff still to get done (the dreaded list):
* Awards
* Leaderboards
* Some additional functionality
* Get all the crowd animating
* More Artwork shiz (for pretty much everything!)
* Advertising boards code + art
* Football shading
So got quite alot to do still.
Time…
Saturday, May 1st, 2010Time, well i’ve finally got some so i’ll be updating the site alot more now with new details, games and other random mince. I’ve been thinking with all this additional time what could I do? Nedocalypse won’t be finished for a while so i’m thinking about doing an experiment of making a completely shite game that’s simple and themed.
Everyone must have seen those games on the indie marketplace? Another game with a Zombie in it, Drunk Zombies, Zombie massage, Avatar Zombie Wars massage extreme etc… So what is the next bandwagon? What genre would I be interested in making a simply mince game in? It then hit me in the face … The World Cup is coming! Football (Soccer to all the yanks) will be the next big thing so i’m gonna make a simple mince football themed game … will update more as I make.
So what else will I be up to … hammering Battlefield Bad Company 2! I’ve got a video capture card sitting here gathering dust as well so I might try and record some sessions of me getting beefed with some delightful scottish voiceovers.
Nedocalypse Screenshots
Friday, March 12th, 2010Thought it was about time i put a couple of pictures up of the game so far, it is still completely work in progress but i’m quite pleased with how it is all coming along. The pictures are of the main menu and the first level of throwing bottles at Neds outside an off licence. Check them out:
Update on the ned game, menu system
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Thought it was about time for a wee update on the game, finally got some time free from work so i’ve managed to update some of the menu system which i’ve been planning for a while. It’s basically a ned holding a bottle of “boakfast” while bobbing his head to the ned beats (sounds a bit shite but I like it). I’ve also managed to get a good bit done on some of the levels which i’ll hopefully record and stick in a trailer at some point. Other than that i’ve been sketching and trying out some bits and pieces art wise until I can get it into a style that I like.
So hopefully this week i’ll be able to get some more of the art work done (been too busy concentrating on code) and hopefully it will start to take a bit more shape. Still got loads to do but I think it’s looking pretty good so far but plenty still to do!
Technical Hitch with site
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Word of advice, never update wordpress automatically if you have modified the default theme appearance. It has set the whole site back to default! Argh … anyway i’ll sort out the layout later on once I get back to my main P.C. but for now i’ve attempted to restore it as much as possible back to the good ol’ way.
EDIT
and it’s back to normal … I think.
Procrastination…
Saturday, February 6th, 2010Here I am last night at the end of the working week thinking about all the stuff I’m going to get done today. Art work for the ned game, update some of the code etc… Loads of stuff I want to get done but what did I get done? That’s right absolutely bugger all because as soon as I go to bed and wake up at 12 the next day it goes completely oot the windae. Instead I play games where you shoot virtual people in the virtual face and now I’m on a train to Glasgow after getting absolutely heehaw done. Still tomorrow is another day…
New site update
Sunday, January 31st, 2010Well that’s the site pretty much up and running, I’ve got a few bits and pieces I’d like to tweak but it’s generally done. I was thinking I’m probably gonna give that video blogging shite a go at some point as well but I doubt there will be any sort of demand to see my mug on YouTube but sack it even if it’s so I can look back years from now and moan that I should have been doin something better with my life.
Other than that I’ve not had much time to crack on with the ned game but I’ve got a few ideas that I’d like to implement before posting another video. Also thinking about making a dancing tramp game, firing coins into a hat to make him dance … maybe it’s just me that’s fascinated by tramps and jakies dancing.
