Adventures in Game Development Chapter 14 Part 3

[jcitrix]

Gyro, you guys are fsck'ing hilarious!

[HomocidalCanineK9]

World 1-3 isn't a castle :(

[gieter37]

After watching this i went to sign up for the forums and apparently im blacklisted :( don't know how or why but is there a way around this?

[GyroVorbis]

Message me with your desired username, and we can set it up. We don't allow people behind proxies/certain weird ISPs that we can't trace to register.

[alginonico]

Same here lol.

[Z3r0XoL]

I LOL'd when you said "TV spells freak" :D

In swedish it means "TV game freak"

:)

[GyroVorbis]

So is my Dreamcast coder friend. Yep, that's why his username is "Tvspelsfreak."

[hurstshifter]

I am thoroughly motivated by these videos. I wish I had some buddies who programmed. What software do you use to capture videos of the screen?

[aerosmithfan4ever]

They use CamStudio, I suppose. Oh, and in case you are wondering, it is completely free to download and use.

[Braannndonn]

@hurstshifter I'm pretty sure they use HyperCam...

[void680]

Your videos are insanely motivating. Thanks guys and keep it up!

[LAmASxc]

fuck i love your videos mate

[thecomputergurukid]

why don't u just use sdl it runs on pc and dreamcast

[GyroVorbis]

Runs horribly on Dreamcast. An we're using OpenGL also, not just SDL. We need 3D acceleration.

[thecomputergurukid]

openGL runs on Dreamcast as well

[thecomputergurukid]

kgl

[thecomputergurukid]

KallistiGL i mean

[GyroVorbis]

Running and running well are two different things.

[BuzzardQ2]

lool -you can add items, big smile-

[exor674]

Unless you are doing something freaky with your build environment, you could always forget platform.h, and in your Makefile for Dreamcast, just pass -DDREAMCAST (assuming you are using something gcc-like) to your Dreamcast compiler.

<_< -- you've probably heard that before, but this will prevent you doing silly things like trying to build Dreamcast code for the PC (Which I'm sure you've done :P)

[GyroVorbis]

Yeah, you're right. And yes, I have done that before, rofl. It's like "kos.h not found" times a million.

[Voldo83]

This rocks, this really kicks ass. This is awesome, extraordinary, outstanding, unique, fabulous.

[amcadam26]

What are the big green ticks on the source files? Is that a source safe type thing for sharing source?

[GyroVorbis]

Yeah, it's for TortoiseSVN. We use Tortoise with VisualSVN for version control.

[thegreatestyankeefan]

awesome game!!!

[avansc]

one of those functions was not properly overloaded. was suppose to have capital 'C' and had little small c. im sure they fixed it tho.

[GyroVorbis]

totally.

[likizmase]

Nice videos..

Guys you are my inspiration..

[KuramaYoko10]

WOW... I am loving it, I want to play it so much =D

thanks dude for the updates!!

[Trask899]

I can't help but feel a bit inspired to work on my programming projects, then again, it's entertaining videos like these that I watch instead of working on them.

[ultrablade2]

WOW you guys are fun, lol peter at the end, nice dungeon. (I love the pokemon fighting music, that's great). You guys rock, hope to see more! Hope I can learn enough to do something cool like that. keep it up!

[zavlem69]

I had a great time watching you guys- good job!!!

[trufun202]

World 1-2 theme = teh win.

[Trask899]

That was a fun set to watch; seems like a lot has been done internally for you guys to start messing around with some of the more rewarding parts of the games such as the battle system and in-game editor. Keep up the good work!

[GyroVorbis]

Yeah. It was my hard work, blood, tears, and sweat that let these two have that much fun with Lua. :D

[eatcomics]

Falco I love you and your team, nut I'm too tired to give the reason right now sooo... buh bye...

[GyroVorbis]

What?

[eatcomics]

Well now that I'm rested... I had been doing homework for two days straight, and the next say all I had was tests... Sooo I was ready to give up and say screw it I'll do it later I saw your videos and realized and had some things to do like watch your videos work on my game and call my girlfriend so I finished because of your videos!!!! they gave me a reason to go on. Now that you know my story that was a good adventure, good job guys!!!

[LusikkaMage]

If I had time, I'd totally make a Mario clone with "Gyro" as the main character. :P

But, alas, tonight is a PoS night. (Pickin online sticks)

[Techgames]

See watching your video made me go after my dream of becoming a gaming programer, but I have aint got to the big stuff yet I'm still learning C++.

[Techgames]

Thanks so much GyroVorbis for chapter 14 parts 1-3 they were great and better than the rest. Also thanks to you and your team of developers, we have new developers in the making everyday.

[robotwo]

xD , loved the whole part where luigis head was missing :) , and assembler can be a bitch sometimes , especially when you're not on a x86 architecture and can't find the appropriate registers , like when coding 6502 ASM for the C64 or NES :B. Anyways , hope the game turns out to be KICKASS!

[GyroVorbis]

That kind of stuff is a turn on for me. That's why I'm a Computer Engineering major, not Computer Science like the rest of our devteam's college students.

[dbproguy]

Dang, not bad. I only recently found your videos and you guys are quite the team!

[DIABLOVT12]

It's a shame Peter got caught watching porn. The man needs his privacy!!

[xxmatthewii]

is this gonna be turn based or more chrono trigger ish

[GyroVorbis]

I can't reveal these things yet!

[xxmatthewii]

lol can u gimme a hint

[GyroVorbis]

Not without being castrated by the rest of the dev team...

[xxmatthewii]

ok i cant wait for it to come out tho

[TheBatchGuy]

PETER YEAAA...

[trufun202]

Hell yeah, awesome chapter guys. Thanks for the shout out. ;)

[GyroVorbis]

Thanks for kicking ass.

[fatman01923]

Wow great videos, great things were shown off in this video, like at the end where luigi gets his head cut off, and the fight with a slime. 5/5.

[josephohsnap]

what the hell kind of a level was that peter?! congrats on the new level editor guys. it is awesome.

[medekdev]

Good old assembly. Sorta like when you want to use the FPU on a PSP.

[HellblazerXX]

awesome! keep up the good work :D

[EvilNando]

how did you made the assemblies? did you convert from c++ code or you coded directly in asm?

[GyroVorbis]

Directly in ASM. And that was Tvspelsfreak, a friend of mine. I don't know SH4 ASM.

[faszika]

would be nice if you did like a bootcamp for game programming for the PC.. :( ok seriously i am making a mod for half life 2 . its more like a total conversion, i can manage modelling, texturing and mapping.. putting them in game etc... nowas far as programming how would you go about this? what should i do in this situation?

[cronjob00]

good video congrats you guys have mode a lot of progress since the first video keep up the good work.

[thanatos454]

Oh and that bottom link in the description included the "!" so it doesn't work. Just wanted to point that out.

[MechMarauderIIC]

Nice level, Peter.

[thanatos454]

Great stuff. I think I have been spoiled by the hour long episodes I got the last few updates but no matter. I'll get over it.
