Onward! To the next project! After creating Grim Shores I am taking on another project to help learn game development even more! I believe Grim Shores taught me a lot, it gave me insight into platformers and what I did right and what I could of done a lot better! With working at a game development company for over 3 months I believe I have learned how to structure a program so much better. Don’t get me wrong I still have more to learn but I feel much better off with games now. So now I am starting a project that will have a similar view to like a gameboy pokemon game but psuedo 3d and nothing to do with pokemon :) I am working on getting a prototype together so I can see if this is a worthy project. I want this to be fun and so I hope to have lots of prototypes so everyone can give feedback as I go so I don’t go off track with it too much.

Grim Shores Beta Release! Need Testing! Sadly it doesnt work with Firefox but hopefully soon!

Lack of Posts!? Yeah, I have been trying to get Grim Shores playable lately. Doing piles of art and tons of code. I want this out in the next week if not the whole game atleast most of it! So please bear with me I can’t wait to share this game with everyone!

Sneak peak of a level in Grim Shores which will be featuring waves of zombies pouring over the hillside.

Heard of States? Well okay, so if you are looking for a really great way to create a game or any program really. USE states, states are the way of the future :D Here is a good read on finite state machines :) http://www.richardlord.net/blog/finite-state-machines-for-ai-in-actionscript Seriously, if you don’t use a framework life’s gonna suck. Google Finite State Machines! If I have time to find more tutorials and such I will post them here.
