The thread title says "What are you doing at this moment in time", not "What are you doing with your game at this moment in time"

But seriously if you want some actual development update from me, check my forum out, but I don't update it because fuck you guys for not even looking, I hate you all!

Yeah but this is the game dev forum.

Me? Continuously updating a game noone plays.

True.... but /effort lol

And you need to advertise your game more, I'm sure I've told you this before, get yourself on lots of other forums and make threads there and stuff, ask other people nicely to advertise for you... you can't expect lots of people to play a game they don't even know exists if you're not showing it to them...

Implement pushing zombies away that grab you! :D

If I wanted to release my game in chapters, how long would it have to be?

right now i have about 3 1/2 hours of play time but where i wanna cut it off, the play time is closer to 2 hours.

Do you mean making episodic content?
It's entirely up to how long the chapters are; the important part is that they feel natural...

But if you go with smaller chapters, more releases will be expected in a specific time frame.
But longer chapters are of course, the vice versa. (And is why many people only release complete games; think about the rage around Half Life's 'episodic' content)

I have recently finished the zombie pushing mechanic. Now moving onto zombies nomming you to death when they've got you grabbed.
As well as implementing collision with the player.

yea my problem is making is that it feels natural after 2 hours and unnatural after 3 1/2. idk i'll make it work.

btw how are you making that zombie game? rmxp,vx, ace? or something else.

I'm using Flash and Actionscript 2.0.
I got to code everything myself from scratch, movement, everything xD
Though once my game is finished, I enjoy in the fact I can upload it to sites since it can be played within the browser xD
The game is a 2D fan adaptation of Resident Evil 1.

I'm going to be practicing my pixel art in a little bit.

Hopefully as I get better and better, soon I can create custom graphics and such! :D

I haven't done any PROPER pixel art for a long long time... I might see what I can come up with right now, lol... not sure what to pixel though

Do pixel pee pees! XD

I'm currently working to implement weapons within the game. :)

Making some resources for my map editor so it's a bit more tailored towards battle world RPG.
Just noticed that I had accidentally made it possible for battles to take place on the field maps, so I could do something like chrono trigger's battle system, I'll most likely use both field and battle maps for battles.

Making interior maps for all the buildings in my game. Taking too bloody long. So far I have all the maps done graphically but now have to code them all in and then make NPCs etc... more work than it sounds when a map basically looks like this:

[town=url][townbit=0,0,100,100,Caption]url[/townbit][townbit=0,0,100,100,Caption]url[/townbit][townbit=0,0,100,100,Caption]url[/townbit][townbit=0,0,100,100,Caption]url[/townbit][townbit=0,0,100,100,Caption]url[/townbit][townbit=0,0,100,100,Caption]url[/townbit][/town]

...and the (100,100) is relative to the previous piece. Why oh why didn't I code this better?

Still making up equipment...

I did practice pixel art, though. :D

Whaaaa.
Did you do that from scratch Red?
Thats better than what I can do in vector, let alone pixels! x.x

I'm thinking of scrapping my zombie game. Its become pretty buggy.
Gonna start work on something different, though not based on another's IP.

Sure did! I used to not be able to pixel a thing.

Too bad she's not for a game. :P

I wish, though...

I still want to make a simple RPG. D=

Anyhoo, back on topic... I also forgot to mention that I have to make up a small tune for Ghost Shards. ^__^

Why do you wanna make a simple game? You're Ghost Shards seems to be going quite from I've seen! :)

Because I have to rely on my ex to make it. XD

Star works on it, but not as often as one would like. He gets HORRIBLY distracted by everything, getting little done in a day... ._.

Plus I want to learn the ropes of our engine...

Fair enough, well I'd say you have have enough sprite skill to pull it off graphically.
So just get that other part... and you can do it solo! :D

I wish I knew how to do pixel art as well as you. I've been wanting to learn but Im just to lazy.

I guess I'm just an artistic-type of person. XD

I like to make everything visual! Tee-hee.

I'm pixeling some sprites now. >>;;

I used to be artisty. Went to an elementary art academy and everything. But i'm black so i easily find ways to mess up good opportunities.

I used to be pretty artsy too xD
Took two art options at high school, and did a year at a levels before dropping out.

My focus is programming :p

I was spriting, but I had to stop to hide it from Star - 'cause otherwise, he'd get in my face about what I was doing. D=

Why'd he do that?

Wait, wait what?
You're partner gets in a mood when you're working on the game? ... 0.o

I wasn't working on the game, that's why.

I was spriting for my own fun, maybe for my own game.

Things are intense between us, too...

Oh...
Well it makes a bit more sense now =/

I dunno what to suggest really...


What I am doing; coming up with new ambitious ideas for a new, original project :D

Still spriting! YAY! It's loads of fun!

Writing a crazy command console that controls the game engine state so I can finally have keyboard input
