Hello my readers! It’s been another exciting week in FTD development. Those collision problems I had last week? No more. Those weird issues I had with the character’s movement? Vanquished! I’m happy to say that most of the problems I struggled with last week are gone, but as is always true in game development moreContinue reading “Fix a Bug and More Will Appear”

Game Maker & Collision Fun
Hello my readers! From now on, I’ll be updating the USCF blog each Sunday with development progress on Fight the Darkness. Cheers! Last week I purchased Game Maker Studio Professional, and since then I’ve been stumbling through the free tutorials. Now that I’ve got a little hands-on knowledge with the engine, I’ve been working on aContinue reading “Game Maker & Collision Fun”
Announcing New Game Dev Project!
I did it! I finally did it. I decided to pay the $100. Now I’m a proud owner of Game Maker Studio and I feel awesome. And also ready to make a game. For now, I’m going to call this game Fight the Darkness, because until something novel comes along, it’s the title that IContinue reading “Announcing New Game Dev Project!”
UI Design & Weapons Concept
I’m going to keep this post short and sweet, because I’m applying for jobs and have a lot coming up in the next post. I finished the weapons concept I’ve been working on, as well as a UI page for the fictional game Dragoon Chronicles. I’ve included a time lapse of my work flow forContinue reading “UI Design & Weapons Concept”
Comrade Quest Final Release
It’s finally reached the end of the semester, and Comrade Quest’s development is over. It makes me sad that everyone on my team is going their separate ways, but I’m glad that I got the chance to lead a group of talented artists, programmers and designers to realize my vision. Also, I’m quite proud thatContinue reading “Comrade Quest Final Release”
Successful Beta!
Beta was a success! As a matter of fact, out of the previous three GPL’s that I’ve been in, I’m pleased to say that this has been the most successful beta. I’m also happy to say that the playtesters congregated around Comrade Quest’s test space first thing when the beta started! It’s great to knowContinue reading “Successful Beta!”
Night of Beta
Less than eleven hours remain before beta release. I’m nervous, happy, excited, stressed and sleepless all at the same time. It’s an odd mix of feelings, but I like it. Guess I picked the right industry to get into, because from what I heard, this atmosphere of high tension is pretty common in the worldContinue reading “Night of Beta”
Beta crunch madness
Tonight we’re having our beta crunch weekend night! Craziness abounds! We’re working hard on just about every aspect of the game, in time for Game Lab beta on April 8th. Updates will come shortly.
Comrade Quest Checkpoint Animations
I’ve been working more on the menus, and animations for the different objects in the level. Here are the assets for the checkpoints- the banner says контрольная точка (kontrol’naya tochka), or checkpoint. I’m going off of what one of my Russian-speaking friends said, hopefully it doesn’t mean “capitalism for life” or “Donald Trump is awesome”Continue reading “Comrade Quest Checkpoint Animations”
A Lesson in Leadership
Whew. Yesterday was crazy stressful. We had a huge meeting with the professors, and we’re back to the original melee system. Essentially the whole group got called in to discuss why we shouldn’t go forward with the turn based system. I thought the turn based system would solve the problems reported in alpha, but itContinue reading “A Lesson in Leadership”
