Cubegasm and XNA!

Cubegasm seems to be my personal Duke Nukem Forever in terms of the number of development platforms it has made a cute little nest in. The project, which I was originally calling Bipolar (since it was about a gigantic manic-depressive, self-abusing, blob that was a weapon of mass destruction if its happiness levels got too [...]

Cubegasm’s First Dev Journal Entry

In lieu of actually doing any development tonight I, instead, chose to write a gaming article (still no Metal Gear Story; I’m still thinking about that) and then a particularly-lengthyGameDev .net Daily. Now, since I’ve given up hope of getting work done tonight and have accepted the idea that Battlefield: Bad Company will dominate my [...]

Grid

I know Grid isn’t the greatest arcade racing game ever but, goddamn, I love it so much. It has the perfect blend of a career mode where I can make money, buy cars, hire teammates and then merges that with a with a more arcade-like set of racing mechanics. The game has a great sense [...]

The Political Machine 2008

I’ve been working every day (and what long days they are) for the last couple weeks on The Political Machine 2008 as we make our final surge to the game’s gold date and figured I might as well plug it here since I haven’t had time to write about anything else lately. My role on [...]

Chronicles of Cloud (and Bipolar)

I’ve been playing a very time-intensive game of musical chairs with various three-dee engines over the course of the last two-and-a-half weeks in an attempt to find the one that would be best suited to my particular development style and the kind of game I want to create. And I can safely say that, tonight, [...]

Asplode! Optimizations and Beta Status

At this point, I think that it’s fairly safe to say that the meat of Asplode! is finished. All of the primary gameplay is in place, the enemies are all implemented and handled in a state that I’m fond of, and the player controls, responses, and such are all implemented. At this point any more [...]
