Any BSG Fans?

Well I am! check out my new prototype 2D game engine "Battlestar Galactica". Most of the resource are not original but anyway this is just for fun not planning for commercial; only to my friends and anyone who wants too :-P

I use Direct3d, OpenAL Ogg Vorbis and Lua for this game. Pure arcade game, currently implementing multiplayer support and my bro will be on game design and arts.

cheers!

Worst vacation

Could be... but i'm sure it's goin to be. Feel like all alone, bored and it sucks.

I will be leaving my pc for download and stay online on ym. Listen to music, guitar, eat and sleep for whole day. I'm not in a mood to code, surf or chat.

No clue yet? so am I, [Now playing: Splender - I Think God Can Explain]

Happy easter :-/

Driving

Well I've been driving since my college days and I even had a car for everyday use. Last few years we just realised that my father needs car more than I do. So he bring the car along at the province for living. Since then I thought driving shouldn't be a big deal. My brother has a car but I barely use it.

Now i'm driving again, having crash course session with my brother and a1 to bring back the feel heheh yes honestly I feel like a noob again. Anyway, you will see me driving my Honda *toooot* hopefully next week ;)

Cheers

Surelock case

I bought this pedal case last sunday and i must say... it's as nice as boss' bcb60. Besides i bought this very cheap and +discount at JB Stores :D. It has the exact size for the boss pedals although the store displayd only boston pedals in this case which also interest me for trying them. The only thing bother me is the base, it's not metal like the BCB6. Anyway it has plenty of room to put something in it.

Here are the pics.

Closed

Open!... with my Boss pedals.

Rakrakan na!

Running projects

I just had this very unpleasant event happen this past few months... it will be easier for me to just put the whole thing behind me.

Well i'm back and will keep you updated.

What's new... i'm currently working on different windowsmobile projects from foreign companies, one from Singapore and one from Denmark. Why not locally? i believe here in Philippines there are like only 1% who knows what the hell is 'windowsmobile'. heheh. I hope it's gamedev project y' know.

Anyway I already managed my time for this project and so far everything still goes into plan.

Cheers.

Back to game engine: rewrite?!

Hehehe... since i'm already bored here at work, i think 'now' is the right time to rewrite my code and redesign as well. This is my chance to use my new d3d shader approach book as my base rendering code and ai book.

Wish me luck!

Wolfgang / Razorback Alive 2007 (2nd set)

We just watched the concert last night at music museum, greenhills with my officemates. Hell yeah it's Wolfgang with Razorback live! No further detauls, they are absolutely the best pinoy band and no other local bands that can ever rock the stage like how wolfgang perform. Surprises?! they just played their last composition just for the concert, the sound transitions, chord progressions... all good and we simply love it!

If you are a filipino, a rocker, live here in manila, and never watched wolfgang play... tsk tsk tsk! Don't worry they probably will play again next year! :D

Manuel Legarda, wolfgang guitarist the best! Actually after watching him play live for the first time, the moment absolutely convinced me to shift playing electric guitar from acoustic guitar and piano as well. After 3 days, i just bought my first electric guitar RJ Strat hehehe.

...nostalgic.

Happy New Year!

My new year's resolution: To be a better man :D

Hope you all enjoy your evening...

Merry Christmas!

We just spent our Christmas at home, everything seems to be great and only thing is that my sister is spending her Christmas at US. Anyway, all our attention was given to my little bro Kevin and so happy to open all his gifts. My mom got a new Samsung phone from me! =D and was surprised as well, great food, bro and me played dota till morning hehe.

again, Merry Christmas... Advance Happy New Year!

Game Engine: GUI / New Game AI Books!

I'm quite busy this days and it does really affect my game engine progress. But anyway i'm still aiming to finish my first game engine Q1 of next year.

I just finished my basic GUI engine that is powered by lua scripting. GUI includes Panel/Parent Window, Cursor, Editbox, Button, Label, Checkbox, and Progressbar. Can modify it's color, texture, position, size, border(some) etc...

I think that's enough for now since i already covers most GUI controls that can bee seen in most games. Here are the screenshots:


I might go back to AI for a while... i just bought 2 books from the internet. Programming Game AI by Example by Mat Buckland and AI Game Engine Programming by Brian Schwab. I've already read some parts and i think it will help my engine to become more modular and systematic. I just wonder at first why these 2 books somehow have their own approaches in creating game AI... and just realized AI by Example is more beginner approach and AI Game Engine is for intermediate to advance which is kind of releif. I don't want to waste money for 2 beginner books. Well i can't really decide what book buy at first hehehe... so i bought both! They have really good reviews y'know. Can't wait to try them out.

Cheers all! and Advance Merry Christmas!
