Status Report

Added skins/outfits to loot, implemented them in equipment loadout.

Added attributes to wearables, so that they give different bonuses when equipped.

Status Report

We changed Weapons, Consumables, and Equipment to a better table-based system which we discovered when building the Lore system, which makes it easier to add new items and track them in the game. Now it is much more easily scaled, with 2 entries per new item in 2 table files, instead of what I estim...

What's going on???

No, I'm not dead. I spent the entirety of December fighting a double dose of the flu (it took 2 rounds of antibiotics to fight off the secondary plague from that) and then we moved to an actual house because 2 people and 2 dogs do not fit well in a 900 square foot condo. There was much drama and may...

I’ve been ill for several weeks so no progress. Basically i have been coughing so heavily that i have herniated a disc in my back, which makes it impossible to do just about anything unless my spine is straight. Meaning, bed rest until i am well again. It sucks getting old. Julien continues to pic...

Status Report

The past few weeks have been eaten up by bureaucracy, houseguests, and trying to get all of my artwork quota done before the 31st, when I head back to the USA, so very little progress on my part since the last status report.  Julien has been working on the ”smart” enemy AI. The inventory me...

Today was a long and complicated voyage into changing the laws of physics. More specifically, gravity.

Since the demo's setting is a dying space cruiser, I wanted to build gravity and gravity changes into the dynamics of the map-- as the gravity fields begin to fail, things get disorienting, the m...

CAM cleaned design

I needed a dialogue icon for CAM anyways (and need to model a standalone for the game content), so I decided to harden the design a bit more.

Building tutorial map

The source control nightmare is finally over and I have started on the look, feel, and layout of the tutorial level. 

Source control fixed

Finally the source control problem is fixed. I feel like I spend more time fighting source control than any other aspect of development.

Anyways, good news, now for the long slow upload...

Status report

I had hoped to begin building the control demo level this weekend but a major source control bug has got things stalled until the middle of this coming week. More news as that gets resolved.

Concept: Chuckles

Chuckles is one of Reese's henchmen. Once the boss of a smuggler gang, he let her take over as she led them into more profitable mercenary work. He wears a bandanna over his face to hide his disfiguring battle wounds.

I've gotten my workload manageable again and I can start back up on devoting my own time to the game again.

I've picked up a bunch of neat new assets for the environments, music, and effects, which will be incorporated next.

Most of the animations are cleaned up and the climbing is fixed, so...

Good news and bad news. 

Bad news first-- I have 2 weeks to get all of our stuff moved back into my place before I leave for Chile, so the girlfriend can put her house up for sale. That means I will definitely not have any time to work on Gunbunny for a few weeks at best.

Good news -- t...
