I decided to release this to show whats done so far.

Enemies still need a little work, they can get stuck since they aren't minding the ceiling, and attacking is radial instead of directed right now. They also don't attack or have animations. They'll attack before then.

Enemies change …

Combat test and personal Shenanigans.

Sometimes when you messed something up in code, and its in the thousands of lines, you kind of have trouble finding what variable is the problem.

I decided to take on the potentially toughest challenge in the Black Shadow engine sooner rather than later.

Find those shadows!

Posted by Scott_AW on March 30, 2011, 12:24 p.m.

I found that I can detect when an object is in a shadow, and then darken them. A step forward in better looking levels!

Below shows the darkened objects and then those same objects in blue.

Next on my list is creating the Jib and Scrap instances, inventory and some …

One last revise before we get started...

Posted by Scott_AW on March 28, 2011, 1:14 p.m.

I decided I did not like were the new map was going, and will scrap it.

I've made some changes warranting that anyway. Like precoded coloring for rocks to match their environment. I may do the same for other such decor. Grass, stalagtites, and other similar stuff.

**New** - Water fixed, some sound issues corrected and reenabled activation.

Okay I just went and re-wrote the entire thing, so its clean and tidy. It was getting kind of messy anyway.

'nother demo.

Posted by Scott_AW on March 23, 2011, 12:24 p.m.

I also figured I can use a lot of what I learn from working with this on The Crawl, being able to add real lighting would be nice, but voxel shadows aren't currently supported.
