World generation is coming along pretty well - there's a wrap-around surface layer with various area types laid out along it (but not displayed as anything more than a debug string yet) and caverns below the surface.
Other stuff that's gone in: the jetpack, crashed spaceship, NPCs shooting (although this is currently far too random for the non-abstract style of the game).
I'm hoping to post a demo later today (i.e. 12 hours or so).
@thief0: Not from the VGNG, but maybe subconsciously inspired by it. Also not from my cat. His ideas are more along the lines of 00000000000000000222222222211111111 [...etc]

You do realize that you have to put ALL OF THOSE FRIGGEN SKETCHES in your game...
Right?

Here's a demo then. You can't complete the game as the spaceship parts aren't placed yet. You can just fly/run around shooting things. z = jetpack x = fire left/right cursors to move (I just thought - people with non-qwerty keyboards might hate z and x... shout if so and I'll do an update with some alternate buttons) - NPCs are stupid at the moment and all have about the same behaviour. Soon (?) they should have various tendencies to jump/attack/etc. - There's a bug where sometimes you get stuck in the scenery when flipping screens - Player has no animations yet - Lots of placeholder graphics... - Health is very high - NPC bullets are a bit nuts. Planning to re-work this system. - ... oh, and NPC placement is pretty meaningless right now...

Obviously needs a ton of tweaking, but it looks gorgeous. The map looks surprisingly natural. Also, I found your animation editor  |

Thanks - that's nice to hear about the map! Also, I found your animation editor Oh yeah  Hehe - and that editor isn't even used on this project. (Not that there's anything procedural going on with the anims, I just wrote something to import from gridded images instead.) |

I cannot get it to work!  It just stays on the title screen, with Space Cat in big letters and title in tiny letters. I can go to the animation editor, too, but no the actual game. |

real art looks like the mona lisa or a halo poster and is about being old or having your wife die and sometimes the level goes in reverse

I just hit random stuff and eventually it started. I think it might have been enter.
Nice game, by the way - this is really nice base to build your game off :D I look forward to playing it more when the level design shapes up a bit!

Nada. Though I think it just freezes up on the loading, because if I hit z and then change windows back and forth it's got the other window frozen on it.

That was great fun! Even though there's a lot of polish needs to be done, the core gameplay seems to be enjoyable already.

Hi Inane - how old is your graphics card? Unfortunately when fixing some draw-order issues I broke support for cards that don't do OpenGL vertex arrays. I will try to fix this... Alternatively, it may have crashed on world generation, although I haven't seen this happen. Is there an error message in the window title bar? Thanks for the encouraging words, those that could run it...! |

"Need to use this to use Z level drawing" is in the titlebar after hitting Z. The laptop I'm on has a pretty crap graphics card (Intel GMA 950, to be precise) so I wouldn't be surprised if that was it  . |

It should at least be clearing the screen, unless your OpenGL support doesn't even extend to glClear. Sounds like something fishy's going on. I'll have a think

I don't think it's anything so mysterious - it just throws an exception in the rendering code when vertex arrays aren't available. Talk to you on MSN... |
