Wino is a 2D competitive block mining game inspired by Infiniminer and Team Fortress/Gang Garrison. Originally started for Ludum Dare 29 with the theme "Under the Surface," El_Cabaro and I started working on a game where under the surface, players compete for naturally flowing wine springs while avoiding lava and attacking the opposition.

Huh. Does very remind me of infiniminer, but not really of TF2.

I want this on a 3.5 in floppy.

We got back together this weekend and added a few more things, but mostly jacked around and drank Big Red food-colored to look like wine.

• Ditched the lobby system
• Added wine sucking animations
• Fixed server synchronization for wine bins
• Added depositing animation
• Added wine splash animation and sounds
• Added floating names above heads
• Added the "Win Condition" where if you get a set number of wine, the winning sequence happens.

So mostly animation and other useless stuff. It'll get done sometime. _Probably.

Land generation, brought to you by tears and sweat. We accidentally deleted it after about 4 hours and had to remake it.

Crazy revival bump! We're going to finally "finish" this game over the weekend, hopefully, then as a long term goal, get it on Steam (which is ambitious at best, but hey.)

The plans:

• Nerf the god-like engineer
• Make the prospector do something more interesting
• Add air caves
• Weapons! This is a must.
• Fix the master server list
• Animations of characters moving (right now they just slide around)
• Maybe a global leaderboard?
• Better art
• Just more general polish

Then we'll see how it fares in the public's eye. 

[SuperDisk]

Well, we didn't accomplish everything planned, but we did:

• Add air caves
• Weapons! Laser guns actually

I swear we'll accomplish it at some point. We're just moving so slowly.

To add some more info, the list of things that needs to be finished before a proper release (well, a barebones one) are only:

• Make lasers hurt
• Animations
• Make prospector work better

And that's it!

[SuperDisk]

Recently added more stuff.

• Fixed lasers
• Fixed player name colouring
• Made fall damage and lasers more screenshakey
• FIxed screen resizing minor bugs
• Added "wine sapping" where the Winer can slowly suck wine from the enemy's repository. It sounds a klaxon for the other team when doing so.
• Resized the player hitbox a bit so it's more nimble

Someday we'll get this done.

[SuperDisk]

We updated the server.

[SuperDisk]

A new lighting overhaul and a bunch of fixes under the hood.

Also, new world generation based on cellular automata. I think I screwed up the implementation though since the worlds aren't coming out like in the javascript version I ported, but it's good enough for now.

[SuperDisk]

Finally some more work on this thing. Played around with shaders today and reworked the lighting system for the LAST TIME.   Seriously, it's difficult to get good performance out of MMF2 when you have thousands and thousands of blocks. Any thoughts on the dithering shaders? Took goddamn forever to port from GLSL to HLSL but I learned a lot in the process, which I guess is what counts.

[SuperDisk]

Another update. El_Cabaro and I had some extended time to hang out this winter break and made huge progress on debugging and polish. The game is very very close to release, and we're hoping to get it on Steam pretty soon. Speaking of Steam, come join us on the Steam group for beta testing. We'll probably hold one last big test and everyone is welcome.

I'll probably write a post eventually on how I got good performance out of MMF2.5 on 8836 map tiles without any chunk loading or whatever else, because I'm kinda proud of the shader I wrote.

Finally here are some pics.

[SuperDisk]

We're very closely nearing release and we've scheduled a (potentially) last beta test for Thursday that will last two days. Anybody interested please visit the Steam page and join, we'd love to have you: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/winobetatesters#announcements

In other news, we had been using Purple Motion's Second Reality track as title screen placeholder music since the beginning of the game, and finally I got around to doing a "remix" of it. Check it out:
