And so begins...

[elDiablo]

... the start of NEW GAME. Very basic so far; semi-transparent menus and buttons, and a game display with height map. Read: not a lot at the moment, but for my (and my house mate's) first "proper" game engine, it's very exciting for us! You will soon be able to (read: tomorrow morning ) zoom around the level, which is nice. Menus are also correctly drawn when buttons are slightly hidden.

Other than that, not a lot to say yet. Hopefully in the next few days we will have models running around with animations and stuff! And then we will have level loading. And then we will have missions! AND THEN IT WILL BE PLAYABLE BY YOU GUYS! And as it's not Augmented Reality (all but the youtube link I posted have now gone, by the way), it means you can play it without a webcam or printer

Regular updates to follow over the next few weeks!

oh, what type of game is it?

 

[elDiablo]

It's a tycoon style game. Start off with not very much, build up stuff until you have lots and can take over the world!

I can do some Java Scripts if that helps you ... but tbh I don't think that you'll have any use for that ^^
