<- An animated GIF avatar that looks like a PNG and changes on pageload! WOO! Probably not all that difficult, but I am not all that experienced with PHP so I'm pretty stoked!

[SolarLune]

^ Haha, that's pretty cool.

I created a launcher for BGE / my games. I need to tie in the elements to actually launch the game with the correct arguments, but it's alright as a base template.

Enemy ships in my pseudo-TD now shoot back at the player 

[powly]

A function that turns any signed distance field into a mesh - this ougth to be useful since I have no skills in 3D modeling

Just created a second music pack for the Unity Asset Store, which is pending review at the moment.

Great graphic style, it's always interesting to use old-school graphics while still having the power of new computers behind it so you have no limitations. Looks like a shader on 3D models, not sprites, right?

[:^)]

RADIX UR STUFF IS SO COOL.

[Radix]

Yeah it's a postprocessing shader.

[PythonBlue]

My Music pack for the Unity Asset Store is approved.

Also attempted to experiment with level design that didn't require outright 3D modeling.

[Code_Assassin]

=/ Not sure if the sign is looking too well in the environment atm. Anyway the platformer is coming along just fine :D

[SolarLune]

Interesting style. I think you should keep things 'blocky', rather than having the odd angled lines (like on the mountains). Getting rid of the sign and making the lines thicker might be good. Nice work so far, though.

[Radix]

Lasers and metal babies.



(I'll probably change how weapon convergence works.)

[Drevlin]

Beautiful! It reminds me of Starfox for SNES but with mechs.

[SolarLune]

Indeed, that looks cool, especially the particles that come out when the robot's head gets destroyed.

[Azure Lazuline]

I like that head vaporization too!

[Radix]

Thanks guys. Last one:

Awesome, that's what I was going for initially (the palette and lines ruin the effect a bit but I like it this way now.)

This made me say "fuuuuuuuck" out loud, looks awesome man; feelin the starfox vibe too.

[Oddball]

Today I created a homemade laser pointer controller.


Click to enlarge

It's made using an old webcam and a cheap laser pointer. It is intended to be used with a projector, but works on a monitor too. In the image above the game window is on the left, the raw webcam feed is on the top right, and and the cropped and filtered webcam feed is bottom right. The gauges, middle right, are used to dial in the sensitivity of the pointer detection. In this test it puts a red circle around the pointer, which you can just about see if you look at the full size image. It can technically detect three different colour pointers red, green, and blue, but I'll probably only be using it for single player. I'm planning on using it to make a game at the Manchester Game Jam on Sunday.
