brilliant stuff. it must bring a tear to your eye to see people getting so involved as to making knitted monkeys

zaphod · July 11, 2008 at 10:37 PM

updates will be slow for a little bit . . . I am doing some other contract work so I don't become destitute.

It has been a little while since we posted an update - Brian has been a little bogged down moving to another apartment in San Fransisco, and I have been slightly derailed doing some non game related contract work to bring in some more development funds.

But here is just a little feature we got working last weekend, a "look-back" key that you can press to check out what it going on behind you. I think it will be very useful!

I think it goes a bit to slow. Looks cool anyway

zaphod · July 14, 2008 at 8:06 PM

it is much faster when you are playing - it lagged a bit becuase the fps drops when I record the video.

Update!

Here is a video of the garage which we have been working on:

Parallel to Penumbra, yeah!
Zero Gear is a must buy! Looking forward... And I wanna see a mapcore easter egg somewhere on it!
Grats Zaph!

Sorry to derail but Penumbra was disapointing at best.

Coolness, Zaph.

Sorry I haven't visited the thread in a while so I have not read all the previous posts, but are you planning on taking this to Xbox Live Arcade? Microsoft just announced that they will be letting developers keep up to 70% of gross revenues from sales of arcade games on Live.

We aren't using XNA so I don't think we can get it on the XBL Community. Conceivably it could go on XBLA, but we don't really see much incentive to do that, since it would require the help of a 3rd party.

hessi · July 26, 2008 at 8:17 PM

are you still using ogre for rendering? in that case you would have to open source it due to GPL, no? i am always confused with all those different licenses...

zaphod · July 26, 2008 at 8:24 PM

no, Ogre is LGPL

not many people really use GPL which requires open sourcing your entire project, since that is kind of silly and a lot of people wont use it.
