Adventures in Game Development Chapter 7 Part 1

[drayman98]

Rush sucks

[sbryans123]

Ur grandma must have been PISSED when she got that months monster electric bill. lol

[MrSlothery]

Peter's so fucking chill. And I love the brotherly love with you and Marcel lol.

[SteakOfAnger]

i know i sound like a n00b, but whats a perl script?

[MushroomCraftP]

what does that guys shirt say something somthing something CODE....

[Schoening91]

I Guess it's just this Duchebag

What?

I rest my case

hehe^^

[waypastthat]

Game dev - The only job you're actually willing to stay up till morning working.

[kogo50]

great song!

[mv2112mv]

Kick ass rush song!!!

[TheLividePianoist]

Man episodes 7 through 12 were absolutely and undoubtedly the best episodes ever.

[GyroVorbis]

Looking back, 7, 8, and 12 were good. 9-11 were our absolute poorest videos to date.

[TheLividePianoist]

Yea just watched episodes 10 and 11 and didn't really care for them much. I, however, enjoyed the ending of part 2, episode 9.

[yakamotosingawa]

why are you such a dick to marcel, poor guy? lol he seems like a nice kid.

[GyroVorbis]

He's my little brother. He's anything but a nice kid.

[yakamotosingawa]

oh ok that makes sense then haha.

[RetryThisProductions]

At what age did you start learning programming languages

[GyroVorbis]

12 for web languages/development and 13 for real programming.

[dawsonn007]

@GyroVorbis i waaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnna­aaaaaaaaa learn but i have noone to help me!!

and i suck at following internet tutorials and books.

[iLimeMoose]

@dawsonn007 Books are by far your best option when it comes to teaching yourself. What exactly are you aiming to learn?

[dawsonn007]

@iLimeMoose java

[bentokioka]

u guys are awesome, hope u guys make it to the big times

[pickzell]

what are you using to code this? Perl?

[HyppoStudios]

To be honest: peter at 1:40 looks like one of the Beatles. No offence tough :P . Great work u guys.

[FOXGEAR92]

Why is that offensive on any level. That's a compliment in my eyes.

[Skyrodude]

2:16

lol XD

[MurlocObama]

dude marcel's lazy lol

[HighDefCam]

are yall guys still virgins

[GyroVorbis]

LOL!!!

[mymothersmeatloaf]

marcel seems so happy... i take it he pussied out and thats why he quit?

[jSaurabh]

Dood tighten up teh gRfX!!!!!

(/me laughs at all the people who don't get that reference)

[amcadam26]

Have you tried using lookup arrays instead of using maths function calls for the trig function in the particle engine?

[GyroVorbis]

Yeah, once upon a time. I had to actually open up our source and look at it. I thought that we still were, but I guess not. The DC trig calls actually resolve to lookup tables, but you're right, it's actually doing trig on the PC... I will have to get around to fixing that when I'm feeling less lazy.

[faszika]

whats a class?

[SkitSophrenia]

My question is, why is falco always picking on Marcel?

[asams12]

marcel is falco's little brother i think

[SkitSophrenia]

Probably

[GyroVorbis]

Yes. He's my little sister.

[thecomputergurukid]

Why do you use lua and perl for your scripting langues? and what is the editr written in?

[GyroVorbis]

Perl is for powerful text manipulation, Lua is for fast, lightweight in-game scripting.

[amcadam26]

the editor's written in BlitzPlus, it let's you write program like editor much easier but you can't use it opengl like with C++

[OmegaZenith21]

What is that program the artist is using? Photoshop?

[B2Roland]

ooo rush i love it :-D

[Atrejoo]

why dont you guys like use a predone grafic engine like from q2 sorce for a exemple

[Molle85]

You get more freedom when writing your own engine. Not to mention the time and effort it takes to learn and get to know a new engine someone else have done, and if you have the competence you might prefer to make your own engine.

[daniel30o]

THIS LOOKS LIKE POKEMON!!!

[rodog69]

how did you guys get your team together

[GyroVorbis]

We've all been friends for years.

[rodog69]

Hey there i have just recently started on learning c++.. can you guys tell me some good ways to get get started i mean literally just started last week so tips places to start

[sigutis123]

get tons of books and study hard

[Ekeichi]

You guys really take the crap out of marcel :D

[IfOnlyITried]

Jesus, i have enough trouble working with Inheritance and Arrays let alone this stuff. What Language is this in? Im still using Java lol

[GyroVorbis]

C/++ for the engine.

[ToyGaurd]

you can use a pre-computed sign/ cos arrays too speed up the particle code. if you need more speed. but all that stuff looks good.

[GyroVorbis]

Yeah, you're right. We looked into that, but it looks like in the end it's just Peter's shitty 32meg integrated card being lame.

[soulcalibur22]

fisrt off u got yerself a good teem looks interesting i like how you are comquering a task most would just give up on hang in there im a superrrrrr low level coder but i know art and its looking good stay with it encourage eachother ext ext ext bla bla bla join me next time on springer

[BoHPriest]

I like the videos... Except the game doesn't look too exciting XD... Anyways, I wish I had a team like you :(...

Good luck finishing this game :D keep it up! :D

have a nice day!

[GyroVorbis]

We don't have a game. We have an engine. You can't judge a product based on an engine that is barely a fraction of a percent complete. The fact that you're even attempting to judge it as if it were a game could be taken as a compliment.

But thanks for the support. =)

[TheAmazingArce]

I'm not exactly sure how you could judge how 'exciting' a game looks when it's so early in development that it literally doesn't even have a name.

Perhaps you should wait for an official demo before making such an assumption. =P

[BoHPriest]

Yeah, I guess you guys are right :)..

I didn't realise it was only an engine XD...

I like these videos a lot! Eagerly awaiting more of them :)...

[GyroVorbis]

Thanks. We tried to record this weekend... but camera issues. Hopefully next weekend. We got a crapload done.

[BoHPriest]

Awesome :D.. Can't wait! :|...

I want to become a game developer myself XD..

Right now I'm studying Blitz3D and Sphere.

They're nice engines :D...

Anyways, good luck and I hope you can fix the camera issues

best regards

[TheAmazingArce]

My editor is written in an earlier version (unfortunately, that does mean more shitty in this case -.-) of Blitz. It's a good language to start with, I will confess, but I STRONGLY recommend you move onto a lower level language once you get abit better, as I am CONSTANTLY having to battle all the shitty limitations of Blitz. I began this project in Blitz thinking it would be an easy quick project. As time went on, the crappy limitations almost made me restart the whole editor in MVC++

[BoHPriest]

Okay, thanks for the tip :D

[BoHPriest]

Okay! Thanks for the advice :D

[Kleithap]

cool, I was wondering when the next one would come out and then I realized I totally missed this one hehe.

I'm imppressed btw, the quality of the movies keeps improving :)

[GyroVorbis]

Thanks, friend. I wasn't going to introduce you until the next movie.

But everybody, this is Kleithap. He's working on making us a badass website for for the project. He's doing a very fine job, and I have no doubt that it'll be badass.

[mybowlcut]

What kinds of education have you guys had? Seems to me you know what you're doing which is not what I'd expect from a bunch of guys around my age haha.

[GyroVorbis]

I'm in my first year of college, Peter and Marcel are Junior and Sophomore in high school. Chris and Shannon (art) are both in their second year of college.

[Lisergishnu]

i follow all your "adventures" because i find them inspirating. good job as always and i look forward for a release ;D

[Madnis64]

I've always wondered..how do u make graphics and them tie them in with the programming?

[GyroVorbis]

Using a graphics API like SDL, OpenGL, DirectX, or Direct3D.

[SpeeBeta1]

Are You Using SDL or like direct access using KalistiOS

[GyroVorbis]

The Dreamcast version uses direct PVR through KOS.

[oxqueenkarenxo]

Lesbian porn? Where can I join?! (only if Falco is there >.>) Kidding *kinda*. I still love the dick-zoom cam. Thank you to the camera'man.

[whitepower666kill]

Badass! good work bois, the particle generator looks sweet. Post the behind the scenes footage, LOL.

[TheAmazingArce]

Hmm...Not a bad idea. =P

[A1R5N1P3R]

Nice approach to the creation process.

[Make0]

Suhweet

[Yarskeeh]

Just awesome, like always!
