So after a year and a half, the Adventures in Game Development finally returns with Chapter 17. The team has spent quite a bit of time with Tyler, James, and Jarrod coding all night, abusing caffeine (and beer), and pursuing our passions. It is with this spirit that we finally feel comfortable resurrecting our original series in all of its crude, uncensored, game development goodness.

Please welcome Tyler Rogers to the Elysian Shadows team. He will be contributing to the SDK in the form of scripting (and quality assurance, haha) as well as storyline development.

Please welcome Dual-Threat studios to the Adventures in Game Development. We are extraordinarily pleased to be working with such talented, passionate, and driven individuals. We also think that they will help spice up AiGD and prevent Marcel and Falco from drawing you guys in our technical mindfuckery.

On the ES front, the team has gone rogue and is now supporting Apple products with its engine/SDK... along with Windows, Dreamcast, and PSP.


Marcel has launched a brand new "Toolkit" for the ES SDK written in C++ and using QT. With this new toolkit, the engine and editor are able to share a code base for asset loading. This framework is called the "Joint AssetIO Framework." We are also introduced to the mechanism for capturing debug output of critical loading/saving routines within this framework.

Team Dual-Threat introduces our viewers to the Unity3D engine as well as its component system (along with a comparison to a hierarchal approach). They also show off two of their productions: Prime8 Shooter and Prime8 Racing. Finally, they unveil their most secret of projects "Project Root" at 5AM ... and fall asleep.

Haha so are you gonna resurrect it again after a year? =b

[GyroVorbis]

@DigiParadise Resurrection implies that we died. I don't know about you guys, but we've been working our asses off and kicking the shit out of some code this past year.

[Damien420Cross]

@GyroVorbis You say yourself your ready to resurrect it :)

Nice I love the vids!

[GyroVorbis]

@Damien420Cross That I did... so hold onto your panties, Youtube. The resurrection process is underway. We're doing many things differently this time... In the meantime, look for sneak peaks and updates on our Twitter and Facebook pages.

game development is a waste of electricity

[GyroVorbis]

@Anddosdd Your comment is a waste of bandwidth and storage on the internet.

[CSryoh]

you did not just dis gcc, wtf is wrong with gcc!?

[PauloGasparSenaV]

A question: i heard that the dreamcast is easy to program or something like that cause it's like windows.. or maybe i'm really really wrong...

[PauloGasparSenaV]

2 years :( wanted to see more ^^

[101MUDman101]

Arent you worried that the new psp is coming out soon, or are you going to develop ES for the Vita aswell?

[MrShyguy0]

@CaptainNeffey

Who cares on what OS you programming in...

What people care is how good you are doing it.

[FatLittleWhiteBoy]

You guys are such assholes... I fucking love it!

[MrFAIL069]

@GyroVorbis irrelevant but i started a game development company when you first started the series in 2007 i think but thats the earliest one posted but. i've tuned into your series in 2010 and you guys are amazing at your job and you show fantastic work. i started my crew in 2008 but the fact that we are both still attached to this kind of work amazes me and watching this inspired me in good team direction. good luck on the rest of the development of Elysian shadows.
