TimeCube 2.0 Beta Release!





Above pic: From Version 1.0, included since I cannot get a good photo from emulator of game play


Why? Cause every old man needs freaking laser eyes



This is my first full game. I have designed all the graphics, composed all the music (LMMS), written the image parsing, etc, while using just the GU and building my own engine from the ground up. Due to this, I may not have as many crazy features as if I used a pre-built engine

I had released TimeCube just previous to learning about the competition, so I used this as an excuse to add quite a few features:

Additions in this version
  • Adhoc Multi-player
  • Particle Engine (yes blocks spark and create fun effects!)
  • A new Font engine
  • Old man effects
  • Ominous Voice samples
  • New menu Graphics
  • New paused Graphics
  • New Backgrounds
  • New Goofy Gene Ray quotes :lol:

The single player is fun... but the MultiPlayer is where it's at!

The Multiplayer addition was obviously the most challenging addition... I think you will also find it is the most fun! If you like Bust-A-Move, you will love TimeCube! :mrgreen: 


Multiplayer rules:
  • Get 4 or more matches as fast as possible (with chaining falling blocks if you can)!
  • Get matches faster than the other player, and blocks will fly on their screen, filling it up and securing your dominance!
  • The last survivor is the winner!!


Get the goods here, and be sure to get a friend in on it to really enjoy the puzzle competition!

Creating a Fake Refraction, Bubble Shader for your 2D Godot Game!

Video Version Asset Creation : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udbPym1JjkY&t=192s Shaders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W_2OzjnUl4 OK so you have that cool 2D Bubble Bobble inspired game but you want to add some modern flare?  Or maybe you just got some random pixel assets you'd like to experiment with adding fake "refraction" too?  I've got you covered!   Cheaters that don't want to read? You when you don't read this tutorial For cheaters, here's the code, right away, to play with : https://github.com/Razzlegames/GodotBubbleShaderTutorial Refrac-What? So what is refraction?  In simple terms light bends and changes direction as it goes from one medium to another. For example when it passes through water in a glass, it slows down and changes direction causing a distorted appearance to anyone looking through the glass.  Different materials have different refraction amount, and the angle and effect is more pronoun

Development on Android NDK Tutorial - Gluing C++ Native Code to Java

Image
Too busy to draw this time.. for now here's a picture of an Android Toy Ok, in this post I am going to talk about how to join C++ native code to a thin Android Java code layer.  I am not going to be doing all native code, as I think the easiest route is to use the Android higher level convenience SDK for loading resources/file I/O, setting up OpenGL context and other state management. I won't be using any IDEs or anything else to complicate things.  This is as easy as it can get, you get the source and type "make" (I assume you are on a system with GNU make, and your environment is setup correctly.  Linux is easiest, but it should run fine on ANY system that can run Make, even Windows!). So the code will be structured like this: -----------------------------------  Android SDK OS Layer code -----------------------------------   Java App Thin Layer to Android OS -----------------------------------   Native C++ code called by Java   for each fra

How to render Parallax Background and Foreground Layers Completely in the Shader [Tutorial]

Image
EDIT Oct 16 2014 : Changed precision to lowp for fragment shader. Consider using this as a default for mobile, unless you really need something better.  I saw a 2x speed increase on Kindle by doing so. Hi all! Here's a quick little diddy for anyone curious on a quick way to get a layered effect in your 2D game (note: we are still using 3D vertices): I did a little more progress on Hoarder Monkey   and I am happy to have parallax backgrounds working all in the shader and in 1 draw call per object type (static VBO, dynamic sprites, Semi-transparent VBO, semi-transparent sprites).  :) The background scrolling is all handled in the shader, and works surprisingly well.  I also do some color tweaking to make things a little darker in the foreground and blue-ish in the background: Notice the closest graphics are darker Notice the background objects are a more blue/white hue. In case your curious the shader code is pretty simple (as it should be for a shader)
