Danse Machina Update

Posted by Malaika on Aug. 1, 2006, 7:16 a.m.

Well, good news everyone. I've pretty much finished reforming the code for DM, and I can tell you that the version 0.3 demo will be out very, very soon. I've already sent a preliminary version to a select few, minus the level.

The new demo will include a swathe of new bits - new menu design, new effects, new enemies, hopefully smarter enemies, new guns, a huge new level, the beginning of a deep story, hopefully an intro (not the 3D intro which may be in the final version though), music, and of course more explody mech action!

Yay!

Oh, and I'll probably be updating the portraits to ones that I make myself. They won't look as pretty, but at least they'll be MINE, and not ripped from somewhere else. Although they may bear a striking resemblance to the current ones >_>

Soo keep your ear to the ground for the next couple of weeks, cos its coming people… its coming…

Dramatic huh? My machinima animation isn't coming along so well though… I've done the storyboards and script, and I'll have the animatic done soon (which I can show you) but I'll be tied down working pretty soon, so I'd better get to work on the DM demo!

Oh, you mean those select few. Gotcha.

Malaika 18 years, 4 months ago

Nah, not *those* select few. Just people who I thought had a lot of valid input. There were only 3, so don't feel bad :P

your making a machinima? Kewl. What game are you using?

Red vs Blue Pwns!

I'll be using the Unreal Engine to do it.

Red vs Blue is, frankly, bottom-rung machinima. Its a great show, and popular, but as far as the actual composition… Bleh.

I have to make a machinima for a uni assignment. Its not a comedy, but hopefully it'll be interesting.
