CoffeStainArt Week#1
Using Dunkin Donuts Massachusetts Mug.
There appears to be a drummer playing under the sun. The entire scene is watched by Pikachu.
Could also be Mickey Mouse playing a bagpipe.

So... Idea time.
I was wondering if any kinect hackers out there have implemented a sign language interpreter / trainer.
Seems like a pretty obvious solution to me. Umm...
Open NI anyone?

Better enemy AI > More engaging > More fun. Please. [x]
FIX: Only use one moonshine at a time. [x]

The "Camera" of game development.
This is a concept that I've been fighting with for a little while. I envision in my lifetime a tool where everything for a game can be generated in one place. Right now that all-in-one tool is called a "Computer". With any combination of software you have many options for creating fantastic interactive software. Will there be a tool in the future that encompasses everything in a game from project management to asset creation ? Is there even a need for such a thing considering the numerous options out there for developers already? The closest thing I can imagine is IdTech 5. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who's gotten a hold of that so I can't speak for its use.

What do you think internet?

GAMES TAB GAMES TAB!
All 4 of you people!
We have HTUR alpha!
We have new music for cislunars game.
We have GPLocks Indie Project.
THE ABUNDANCE!
New Projects coming around!
I've been talking with the google+ indie developer community. I think we're going to try and cook something up for the OUYA . We're still in the beginning phase of development. But I think it'd be quite cool to get people from all around the net to organize a project.
I'll keep you posted of course.

Time for a quick break.
We're about ready to do the first round of item implementation.
I've done the moonshine.
ALSO! We got arrow key navigation for most of the game. Check it out!

I can smell it!
HTUR GUI is 90% done.
Just need to make some buttons for the in-game state so we can start testing the items.
Todays post it :
Implement upgrade system , Item Spawning, Weight of slaves on cart. And we'll round it up with game mode camera zooming.
This list get's shorter everyday.

GUI @ 80%
Check the link below. The UI is in place but not completely functional.
I should give the player some cash to play with at the start of the game eh?
umm... long story short. Check out the link. Listen to the new tunes.

My unity project builds and uploads to dropbox! You can play a new version of the Pre-Alpha Every day!
Sometimes there are multiple builds in a day. Watch as this game comes to life! I know nobody is reading this blog ... for now. But this is a good method for logging and stuff so I'm going to keep on!
Tomorrows post it notes:
Item Class
Shop UI Implementation
Player Upgrade Implementation
Item Implementation
Enemy Base Class test
Camera Zooming
Tie up missing ends. ( Game Over, Continue, Scoring )
See you there!

HTUR UI/UX Design notes.
This is basically how its done. The left and right panels become the controls on touch devices. Top shows state in game and bottom will show items. Its psychologically reinforced yo. From the outset.

HTUR prototype is out among friends.
So PooLatka got a hold of my prototype:
This is beyond valuable information! Let's see how this project grows!
Currently:
I have to get my laptop back in working order so until then I'll be using love2d again for game prototypes.
It's a good tool but there is little support for web and mobile deployment.
I am still stuck in Texas. But at this point if I can get work I'll go anywhere . I know I can do it!
Keep smiling yall.
