Doom style mesh editor updated
General | Posted 11 years agoI’m pretty sure nobody except me is using it, but just in case.
You can color code certain floors and ceilings now in the texture definition. So say you want to easily be able to distinguish between grass and concrete, you can make concrete textures appear white in the map editor while making grass red (or green, but the grid’s green man)
Anyway, if you use it, here it is:

We must all unite on this problem.
General | Posted 11 years agoThis monday, the fructose citizens have banded together to eat humans. The pears, apples, oranges, and bananas released a press statement saying "Humans have been eating us for too long, and the time to strike back is now!"
I fear for the human race. I can understand they feel it's fair game that if we eat them, they can eat us, but I urge you to write to your local congressmen and demand the war be fought against the fruits. Thousands of imaginary people have already been eaten in the produce section at Walmart, and there will surely be more in the coming months at Kroger's, Publix, Ingles, and possibly even Aldis.
Please, look into your heart to stop this crisis. You may say, "it's not my problem. I only eat meat-- they won't come after me." Remember, all humans are fair game. And what if some day, the chickens and cows get together too?

Got my first assignment from Fog.com! :D
General | Posted 11 years agoFog.com gave me my first assignment! :D
Email from Jason:
"I like this one in a third person view:
http://www.freeonlinegames.com/game/runway-pursuit
If we provided all graphical assets and a physics pack for the vehicles, how much would you charge for a project compatible with Android, iOS and web player?
Jason"
Kinda wish they took one of my unique ideas. Maybe they will in the future... :x

The reference sheet has arrived...
General | Posted 11 years agohttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/14803568/
Well, looks like I need to start working on NAFPS again. But as soon as I'm done with level 5, I am going back to Emotican Wars 2.
I would like to wait until I have my laptop though...which should be tomorrow.

Yet another detour...
General | Posted 11 years agoI apologize for this. I thought Lazer would have her computer working by now and I’d be able to finish Level 5 (don’t forget, I paid for a reference picture for the boss that shows up in level 5).
Also money is tight right now, and I’m thinking I should make my first paid game on Android.
Calm down, calm down– the computer version will still be free. And it won’t be too costly…
But anyway, who remembers Emotican Wars? (http://www.davididev.com/games/NovaGame/emotican.php)
It had a good premise, but I didn’t spend nearly enough time on it. I spent like five days on this game, so naturally it turned out like crap.
My sister Marz got me pretty pumped up about it, and I think it’s time for me to make it.
HOWEVER.
When I get that reference sheet back, I will take an immediate break from it to make the boss, test the level, and release the darn thing. Then I will go back to Emotican Wars, make a nice small game, and put it on Google Play.
If you wanna play it on your phone, don’t forget about android.davididev.com.
That’s all for now.

Alright, been keeping you all waiting enough...
General | Posted 11 years agoTime to get back to Not Another First Person Shooter. The sketch for the upcoming boss has been drawn, and should be digitized soon. By the time I get the sketch, I'll probably be ready to make the boss if I start now.
Next level in Not Another First Person Shooter: Hotel California.
Also in the update, you'll be able to move faster and I'm adding controller support. There is ONE problem, though...
I haven't figured out how to get the menu to work with the controller. It's based on the mouse.
I'm sure I'll figure something out.
That's all for now. I'll update everyone when I have a release.

Nyan Cat Annihilator is out!
General | Posted 11 years agoI'd post the promo picture, but I'm pretty sure it's now allowed.
Anyway....
I noticed one bug shortly after release– when you die you keep your weapons. Enjoy that bug while you can.
Other than that, no known bugs. Feel free to play.
Web: http://www.davididev.com/games/Unity2D/Nyan.html
Android: http://android.davididev.com/game.php?id=%22NC%22
If you find any other bugs, please let me know via email (davidi@davididev.com) or if you know me in person, just in chat.

Couple of updates...
General | Posted 11 years agoOne, Quiz GAme show is out for testing. Should’ve mentioned that…I’ve been busy lately with work and job search I forgot to mention. [http://www.davididev.com/games/Unity/quiz.php]
Two, resuming an old project: Nyan Cat Annihilator. I’ve got a video here on Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10201614462202484&l=2971139731704447143]

Heard back from a company...
General | Posted 11 years agoWell, I went to College and got an Associates in computer programming, and I told a few classmates I wrote games...one of them coached me on getting a possible internship at a game company.
Well.
I got a response from Kiz Studios. It's a small company that uses Unity (which is what I'm currently obsessed with). They said they'd like to meet me.
So it's either an interview or a date. Either way, wish me luck! :D
And if I get bad luck it's obviously my small fanbase's fault. >:C
Just kidding.

Upcoming project
General | Posted 11 years agoSo long time users may have remembered my old Quiz Game Show in Novashell (http://www.davididev.com/games/NovaGame/quiz.php). I never announced it, but I had a new one in the works for a while in Unity. I actually started it shortly after Star Fawks and never finished it (I don’t really remember why).
But I was thinking recently about how this game could be used more for than my birthday parties where I challenge my friends to Trivia. I made friends with a lot of my teachers in High School, and the customization could make it a fun way for students to review material. In this remake, you will be able to:
Change the color of the walls, the lights, and the waterfalls (yeah I’m using waterfalls for decoration)
You can specify any question as a bonus or a regular question (but can’t change the worth points, sorry. x.x)
Import pictures to be used with the game (if your question requires a visual aid)
Have multiple files. I’m not sure how many I will include
This is old code so it may take me a while to remember what to do– that and I feel lazy lately when I’m not working– but hopefully it’ll be up before the next school season starts (in two weeks. x.x )

Just a quick patch to NAFPS
General | Posted 11 years agoIn Not Another First Person Shooter, I was kinda lazy with the file menu, but I thought I should add the following functionality:
*Select previous levels you've already beaten or are in progress in
*Delete your file in game (instead of in File Explorer)
*Difficulty level when you create your file (if you load an older file it should be set on easy automatically)
*Icon for the executable (yeah it's about time it didn't use the boring Unity icon) </li>
Level 4 will be out later. I don't know when.
Download update, or wait until level 4.

Help out a friend
General | Posted 11 years agoFor those who don't know, Lazer made me some awesome reference pictures for Not Another FPS, which were amazing for the price ($9 total, not each)

He needs to take on some commissions to help her neice. More info here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5795190/
They're "name your own price," so you'll probably get high quality stuff for a low price. He doesn't always do it, so grab it while you can!

Happy post mother's day.
General | Posted 11 years agoI didn’t get a chance to post this yesterday because of a big family event, but I just wanted to say…
Well, not everyone has a mother worth appreciating. Some mothers had kids by accident, some mothers have little patience, some are addicted to drugs…but not mine. My mother is the sweetest person in the world. ^.^
So me, my sister, and my brother made this video for her: [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201023618951772&l=8453883982636382455]
If you have a mother to appreciate, I hope you took yesterday to show it. You only get this holiday once a year.
Updates to Agent K
General | Posted 11 years agoI’ve got some video footage here of some of the stuff I’ve been working on. Still no music for the game, but I’m sure I’ll find some on freesft.co.uk. (That website is a huge lifesaver for developers. I’m still trying to get some sound effects I made uploaded on there though)
So yes, I’ve got the basic GUI done. Next up will be the message GUI for when I make the tutorial level and the title screen GUI…then moving on to make some enemies (probably will appear in the tutorial level), and then the real first level, and then a demo shall be released!
So hang in there!

Update to Assistant
General | Posted 11 years agoI had the code working for a while, but I didn’t want to release it because of a certain bug. I made categories for the notepad, but sometimes pages get copied into the general notes. I’ve been trying to get the bug to repeat itself for weeks, and I built a logger for this, but it has not.
Use the Beta Release for Assistant (http://www.davididev.com/programs/assistant.php) if you want to help me debug it. If the bug happens to you as well, send me log.txt and I’ll see if I can find the bug.
Make a note of the date and time when it happens. Time is VERY important. Without the time I won't be able to find the entry.
That’s all for now.

Happy post April Fools!
General | Posted 11 years agoThe last blog was kinda a prank. I do not plan to make that Tetris game or abandon Unity3D. Of course, this prank would've been more fun if I got some replies.
I DID get a reply on my fA though:
Think that's already been done dude.look at "Not Tetris" and "Not Tetris 2".
A little less funny now.
Anyway, to put it short, I will be going back to Not Another FPS after Agent K, and everything will proceed as normal.

2D tools
General | Posted 11 years agoNow as much as I like 3D development, I have hit a major snag: unless I get Unity Pro, lights will go through walls. This reminds me of a 3D game engine I got as a birthday gift when I was about 12. While that engine was fun, I couldn’t help but feel bothered when lights went through walls…and experiencing that problem again makes it feel like I’m being dragged back into the early 21st century.
Now I’ve gotten a chance to try out the 2D tools. I’ve barely gotten anywhere, but it didn’t take me too long to figure out the basics. It’s not too different from the 3D interface.
So here’s what I’m thinking. After I finish Agent K, I have another idea I’d like to try out…
You’ve all heard of Tetris, right?
Originally an NES / Game boy game, it has been remade to death, and always in the same format.
Well world, how about something different? I’m tired of seeing the pieces rotate on right angles and staying within their 16×16 tile grids. How about THIS:
The pieces rotate slowly, maybe in 5 degree increments, and the pieces move 2 or 3 pixels at a time (give or take, given the screen stretching)
We could even make the stages different!
I may bring concept art to the table later, but for now I’d like to get back to work on Agent K.
