http://www.mineth.net Home of Multitroid, and more! Sun, 06 Dec 2009 23:35:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just wanted to share a quick update with you guys about Multitroid. I've just rewritten the sprite animation engine. It's now looking much more smoother, more bug-free and easier to expand in the code. Soon we'll have a steady base to work on regarding multiplayer and even record snapshots for a ... http://www.mineth.net/quick-update/ There wasn't been much development going on lately due IRL issues. But things are getting quiet here again, so I can focus more on Multitroid a bit. http://www.mineth.net/inactivity-2/ I've polished the physics engine a bit, it's getting along quite fine. I also added additional tilesets for Brinstar, Norfair, Crateria and Maridia. The window size can now be set dynamically instead of forced 320x240 and scales accordingly. Here's a screenshot from a quick Norfair level I put together: Note that the background distortion ... http://www.mineth.net/multitroid-updated-5-norfair-preview/ Allright. The first part of map collisions for Multitroid are complete! This is just on map level, calculating collisions per tile. Next step is going into tile detail to pixel level for slopes and rough terrain and adding animation. Also, as you probably can see, I also added an executable icon. Screw ... http://www.mineth.net/multitroid-map-collision-part-1-finished/ The internet is a great place. And by great, I do not only mean large, but also a fantastic source of information. Some of that information are tools or guides (examples, tutorials) how to make games. I'm talking about Game Maker, Multimedia Fusion and alike. These two game creation tools ... http://www.mineth.net/metroid-fan-mission-and-other-metroid-fangames/ Hey all, Sorry for not posting on the blog for such a  insanely long time, but i've been busy at work, and seeing as i recently started school again, there won't be any work done on the pack for quite some time, this is mostly due to me not liking java ... http://www.mineth.net/afrd-update-snap/ For those of you who don't feel like browsing through forums for data about Multitroid, I made a static page for it! It hosts some basic info and screenshots. For downloads and additional info, you'll still be required to use the forums until I bring out solid, non-development releases. The page ... http://www.mineth.net/multitroid-static-page-added/ Since I enabled comments yesterday, I'm now still fine tuning them a bit. I wanted avatars with comments too, so I added Gravatars! What's a gravatar, you might ask? Well, the official site's description reads: Your Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when ... http://www.mineth.net/gravatars-comments/ I just want to let everyone know that commenting on these articles have been enabled again. I've installed a (hopefully) decent SPAM filter, since last time I got too much spam to dealt with, so I closed commenting all together. But now it's open again! So please, feel free to comment ... http://www.mineth.net/small-site-update-comments-enabled/ A quick mockup screenshot I made about Multitoid. Yes, I know the HUD is missing and stuff. But meh, who doesn't want to see Samus vs Samus, Super Metroid-style, online? This is basicly what I'm building. Super Metroid, online. Maybe I'll make a few more (proper) mockups later.
