So, I've written my own input system which supports mouse, keyboard and gamepads (both direct-input and x-input). However, a function to bind keys ingame is not implemented, yet.

I also started to do some art stuff for practise and to test the new graphics pipeline:

There's not really a game idea behind this, I just wanted to do something. (and I love space so...)
Obviously it's still work in progress (only half of the lineart is done and a single object is colored).

Great. I like it! Looks like a much better Space Quest ^^

edit:
Working on a single global ai Controller, one while one cmove call per frame etc.
Thanks 3run for the tip. Nice enemy amount with pathfinding and high fps.

update:

I love the afford of time and quality that you all put together.I love to check the forum here from time to time. Keep up the good work. I allways wished to get deeper into gamedesign etc... but thats really a long time ago ;D

As i create a game i write everything down that i do. So an other workshop is in the making.
till now 8 chapters that show how things work including all models
and sounds needed. 2 more chapters to go and it will be out there : Space shooter II

An arcade scrolling space shooter with different enemies,weapon upgrades and wave attacks.

As i write it while creating the game, you can see mistakes i made
and corrections I add later all kinds of scripts are used so always handy to have it as a lot of scripts are used in many games.
Working now on the eyecandy arcade chapter. Working with animated and non animated sprites sliding in out/ growing and moving + Particle use

A clip can be seen here : https://youtu.be/Pq9aEW0qjGk


just finished the chapter about particle use and sprites old arcade feeling.

These ghosts are supposed to give helpful hints. This one, however, is not quite as helpful.



As a side note, is anyone of you creating GIFs of their game? If so, what are you all using? GIFCam? There's so many tools, and given that some people used to distribute GIFCam (which seems to be the tool of choice) including Malware, I'm a bit hesitant to download.

Well usually I record a video and convert it somewhere online

Error014 & Kartoffel your Grafik styles are beautifull

Teasing a friend in the use of Inkscape for the art of a possible game project. He made the draft.

Experimenting with Shade-C EVO and PhysX Rigidbody-based movement on a Sci-Fi level



not very happy with the visual result though, I think environmet mapping on the walls would look better, but shade-c hasn't it built-in

@ painkiller, yeah environment mapping for shade-c would be cool. You try to decrease the light range a bit and do more spotlights. You could also maybe try some soft light beams through particles or through transparent sprites.
