Rekindled Phoenix Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 neat! do you have any video of gameplay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Or at least any detail on type of game, complexity you're attempting, etc. Also, will you be starting a new blog for this like you had for GvB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 That's great Rick. I like the character it looks like a mix of medieval armor and aviator style, somewhat original design. It is some action fight or shoot game ? Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 The Solo Warrior is a mystery. Nobody knows where he came from. More to come... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't you continue on GvB ? Anyway, give us more screenshots soon Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 The Solo Warrior seen in action in The Forest (not an alien forest even though the grass is teal atm). Can the DA goblins take him out? (disclaimer: the Solo Warrior might have a sex change before it's all said and done). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Great models. The floor looks very simple, but it's some too much earlier version actually. Looks like a mobile game ? Sex change or choice between two can be god , specially for masculine people that will prefer to see a female on screen Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Red Ocktober Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 considering Leadwerks3 for this Rick? Darkness look a lot like what you're doing here... --Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I am considering LE3 for this for the mobile aspect. It's different gameplay than DA though. I mean, the Solo Warrior is mysterious and you never know what he/she will do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I can bet you that he/she will fight goblins. Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furbolg Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Final Fantasy, anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I don't like Final Fantasy anymore exception are FF7 and FF9. You play FF games watching menus the majority of the time lol Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Final Fantasy, anyone ? What? This game is nothing like Final Fantasy. It's completely different. In my game the player is on the left side of the screen... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 ahah yes .. TOTALLY DIFFERENT STYLE It is LE 3 ? or test on LE 2 ? what GUI system do you use ? Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 It's LE2 right now. I don't wish to port it just yet as the base game isn't finished yet. I only have a couple more things to do until all the basic rules of the game are completed, and at that point I will port it to LE3 so that I can release the game on as many platforms as possible. After the basic rules are done all (as if it's not much lol) that's remaining is filling in the rest of the levels and characters (and boss fights). The GUI system is my own. It's XML driven (originally sqlite but LE3 doesn't have support for sqlite and so I didn't want to go in that direction for fear of running into problems on mobile later on) and every widget can be nested with any other widgets (you see that with the buttons that have icons on them, and the scroll that has widgets on them). Every widget's location & size is defined as a % of it's parent so that it scales. The XML file also stores tags for each aspect ratio that I want to support and at run-time it finds that screens aspect ratio and uses that tags section(since this will be on mobile, there are so many) so that I can tweak the size and positioning on different aspect ratios (because the same % of a widget's position & size on 1 aspect ratio will look funny on another aspect ratio). I also allow reloading in real-time. So what I do to get just the right setup, is to change the info in the xml file, reload the UI on the running game with a button press, see if I like the result, rinse and repeat until I get it just right. I would love to formalize this at some time with an editor, but for now my mission is getting this thing released. I don't look forward to defining the UI for every possible aspect ratio as it's a boring and tedious job but as far as I can tell to get a nice looking GUI that's what you would have to do. I feel like that might be something that gets overlooked. DA works out well so far because it's been shown on, from that I can tell, the same aspect ratio (and it's UI light). If Josh was to put that on a device (phone most likely) that has a "strange" aspect ratio the health bar I think will look funky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 would nto it be more easy working with some % ? like some button GUI would be : width = screen.Width/20 height = screen.Height /15 Well for GUI, i think it's the best way to work in some relative way as tablets, mobile are wide in aspect ratio. I should ask some mobile devs how they do for their games ? Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 would nto it be more easy working with some % That's just what my post said. Every widget's location & size is defined as a % of it's parent so that it scales. If the parent is NULL then the screen res is used. If the parent isn't NULL then the parents x/y & width/height are used so that everything is relative. Anyway, I wish to keep this post somewhat clean and about Solo Warrior so I'll kindly ask not to derail it that much. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sure i will , another solution is putting all infos about the game in IndieDB Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm not ready for that yet. I don't want to worry about managing these "social" things yet. I want to focus on the game 100% at this time. I'm in the zone and want to stay that way. That other stuff is a distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
