  • It all depends..

    If your target player has a weak old GPU then 15 mb is what u need. Also there is nothing wrong in getting this limit upper. Speaking for myself: in my project I use about 220-240 mb per layout (of course i'm trying to get this lower optimising the game but still) With that amount of VRAM occupied I haven't any issues when running demos on my laptop (256mb VRAM). Everything works fine and smooth.

    You can also optimise your game and gain some spare VRAM for the new graphics data turning off blur effects / using pixel shader 0.0 / turning on "point'" type of interpolation in your game. Of course if those effects are not a big deal for you.

    Anyway I think only testing the game can tell you whether to increase the VRAM usage limit or leave it as it is.

    this is jaw-dropping...

    I surely was amazed by all of the demos but "evOlution" "mathy spiral" and "IK walker" are the best!

    Was "Canvas" object used for bezier curves or you made them via your own plug-in?

  • nowon Actually no, it has nothing to do with the letters but that's a nice idea I will consider.

    well gameplay looks fun even without "letter-based" jumping

    And I join other guys in the thread looking forward to play it

  • I like it! Cool style and color palette! Creating a new level appears to be simple indeed. I guess the sequence in which player must jump on the cubes depends on the letters? am I right?

  • [quote:kywptf7b]...I don't think game development means you are set to using a high level language, I think people should be allowed to release their game no matter what they used to create them.

    Totally agree with Bustercube.

    Speaking of gamesales further:

    Found some interesting article recently. (Link) Pretty interesting info for independent game developers

  • I guess major part of game portals provide such model of publishing.

    For example you should check "Big Fish" or "Oberon Media" and their offerings.

    Also you can find useful this link

  • would I be better off cutting up each backdrop into a sequence of power-of-two tiles, say 256x256, and importing them as seperate objects? Or, would I be better exporting the background image as one oversized power-of-two image (in this case, 1296x1296)?

    first is preferable

    besides there's no need in loading your picture slices singly. Just load them as frames of the first slice. that'll simplify your work in editor window.

    PS. Don't forget to set animation speed to 0 though

  • TimeDelta is really a thing you should keep an eye on

    yep my bad sorry

    Indeed TimeDelta is very important to add

  • In your case the program will check if the brick ovrlaps terrain and make it fall down if there is no ground beneath.

    When you leave this condition not inverted the event will move your bricks only if they overlap some ground.

  • made a little example

    while I was making the cap your thread got 5 answeres lol

    anyway you can find it usefull

  • Hmm.. same for me

    got ATI Radeon Express 1150 on my laptop

    Nice cap though=) It might help me anyways

    Thanx

  • Thank you PixelRebirth! I'm really trying hard making a demo

  • Here's a vid of what I'm working on, the art is no where near final and the game is still in Alpha but I think it's coming along quite well....

    Beautiful art style and very kind game!

    Very unusual usage of physics. And those seeds are really appear as living creatures. Well mabe not creatures but they look like they are alive=)

    I'd play this game definately

  • I keep on working on my project and decided to post some of the new stuff.

    First is one of bonuses that player picks during the game. This one turns your tank into a robot that can ignore obstacles and have powerful rocket launchers hidden in his arms.

    And this robot is one of the 1st level enemies. I call him Megabomber =)

  • Wow!Really nice work there!

    your pixel art is great as always (but "Castle Chaos" is unbeaten yet ) and "very scary" special effects are cool: Those splashes and blood draining from knives (very charismatic animation of a simple bonus by the way)

    Haven't seen any bug while I was playing

    PS

    Was Michael Myers a prototype for your Slasher Boy?
