Occupy me

Following the Occupy Wall Street movement and joined a local group, been to the first meeting and trying very hard to engage myself in “what’s up”.

Taking all my time reading news, mainstream and public, social media, watching videos, educating myself on the economic system and so on.
Talking to people, debating, discussing on different forums and so on and so on..
At this instance in my life I find myself not putting games above everything hehe.

So stuff are not moving fast here (page/game) as you notice! Now you know why.

And no I am no radical stone-throwing-wanna-be-alternative guy, which everyone who knows me and have met me already know :)

Detour

I have had a weird detour into some music which has stolen time from progressing on my game.

Will get back on track soon again!

GUI, oh my GUI…

My biggest fear! Graphics and stuff… GUI… geez, happy with it sofar though, if I keep it simple I think it will work!
Basically tooltip handling for Units/Items/Skills and all other Objects in the future. These show basic information when you hover mouse over something.

I’ll make it all more pretty and detailed once I get a playable Demo working!

gui_tooltips
Some GUI improvements. I think this will do for now until after a playable Demo.

Monsters are people too..

..so decided to give my enemies some spells to fight back. Did not work out so good for me.

Also made fixes on maphandling so I can go under/behind stuff if I want as you see at the very start

Monsters with spells
Some more updates. Castbar/timer mobs check Line Of Sight and adjust acordingly. They do try their best.. :)

New video, new graphic + combat

Found some free sprite sheets that I use for testing. And did some agro, chasing, path finding and combat mechanics.

I also added a quickbar at bottom, just the one spell now (fireball), will do some GUI graphics when everything else is done.

Testing some sprites
Using free sprite samples

My game in Java

I am currently working on a game on my sparetime using Java and Slick2d.

You can see more under “Hobbyprojects“. Currently only just the one vid, I will add stuff as we progress.

If you have any sort of questions just go ahead and ask.

My new site

Decided to go with WordPress, I do not want to waste time making a site when there’s such a good solution already out there!

One of the most common error (in my mind) many programmers usually do is “reinventing the wheel”. Why not just use what someone else done if it’s OpenSource or Free?
