The joys of stats & Vertical Slice milestone

By gekido on September 30, 2009

Now that I have the basics of the game struc­ture in place (how I want to han­dle the base inter­face notwith­stand­ing), I’m knee deep in stats.

Organizing your Game, part 1

By gekido on September 26, 2009

Been awol for a few days, which I’m blam­ing entirely on Fallen Earth, the first MMO that I’ve played that is ACTUALLY FUN — what a nov­elty. Any­ways, you can read more about that on my alter-ego site, Geki­dosLair. Back to busi­ness ;} I’ve writ­ten a bit about the work that I’ve been doing on […]

Site updates etc

By gekido on September 20, 2009

Doing a fairly large house­clean­ing pass on the web­site — things are get­ting a bit out of con­trol, so I’m work­ing on break­ing the ‘game site’ sec­tion apart from the blog areas to clean things up.

Modular Weapons, updates

By gekido on September 15, 2009

Now that I have the high-level struc­ture for the game imple­mented, it is very easy for me to add the addi­tional ‘modes’ and screens that the player will go through in the game. Case in point — Weapon Cus­tomiza­tion. Tech­ni­cally it’s not appear­ing where I want it to yet, but the nice part is that […]
