Socoder -> What Have You Done -> What Have You Done? - January 2014

Ups

What did you get done this month?
  • Tons!

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    All except for one game, yeah. My little Vortex/Tunnel effect looked great, but there was next to no gameplay to the thing, whatsoever. A bit of a shame, really.
    But other than that, I wrote a nice dungeon romp thing, a lovely bouncing ball thing, a running platforming thing, and even a helicopter thing that I'm not releasing until next week!

    I also played about with some music on iPad, and got into Korg Gadget as a lovely musical playtoything..
    And I got Netflix, and started watching some stuff, 'cos working on all those games = rest time needed!!

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Jayenkai Archive 2.0

    Why not?
    It's HUGE!!!
    I mean, it isn't THAT big.. It's not Socoder-sized! But I'd forgotten just how much stuff there actually is in there.
    It's about 1/8 done, at the time I'm writing this, and.. I dunno.. I think I've already given up on it!!

    There's SO much stuff to do, it's insane!!
    And every little tiny tweak seems to require half a dozen additional enhancements before it'll work properly.

    eg..
    Thought of the day : "It'd be nice if each game had a smaller icon-sized thumbnail"
    Secondary Thought : "Oh, ffs, now I have to make a nice looking icon-sized thumbnail for ALL 308 GAMES!!!"

    Likewise "It'd be nice to have a Logo for each game!" and more...

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Not sure..

    How's that going?
    I just scrapped a Tetris/Match-3 game, due to it being overly complicated, and not playing very well.
    Not really sure what project to tackle next..

    Next

    What's the plan for the month ahead?
  • More AGameAWeek

    I've had an unhealthily over-productive month, so I'm pretty sure it's all going to go downhill from this point!! It usually does..
    Still, a great start to the year, and hopefully I can at least keep up a fairly decent rate over the coming months.
    *fingers crossed*

    Ups

    What did you get done this month?
  • Finally released AquaVenture on OUYA
  • Started on a new OUYA game
  • Completed a distance learning Mental health course I started last year.
  • My NHS unit FINALLY moved. We've been waiting for the last 30months...
  • Doing lots of graphic work for other people's games, including some of my first full HD stuffage. If it's bigger than 320x240 I'm usually fecked, but one of the animated characters I'm working on is almost half of this size alone!

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    Pretty much, although Spinal is too good a bug hunter...

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Play with the games and Vita that I got for Xmas and birthday
  • Fix the issues in AquaVenture that Spinal identified
  • I still haven't found the winning lotto ticket...

    Why not?
    Lack of time and too busy with other things. Including work.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    A re-skin and total re-write of a game I wrote a few years ago. It's really playable now - the first port to OUYA was unbelievably slow, hence the rewrite.

    How's that going?
    Superb. Lots of graphic work will be required though. I think I'll let Spinal have a play before I submit/release it on OUYA though

    Next

    What's the plan for the month ahead?
  • Work on the new game
  • Fix AV bugs (should take mere seconds).
  • Sort out another distance learning course. Maybe.

    What didn't you get done?
    Stuff that went totally over my head. LOL

    Ups

    What did you get done this month?
  • Went live!
  • Made a auto update system.
  • Added hand rendering

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    More or less. The login server keeps crashing a lot, but the city server is remarkably stable. But with every bug I squash, the login server keeps gettin better.
    The update system was unstable at first, but remarkably easy to fix. Most notable was differences in the registry between x64 and x86 systems, as well as UAC issues.

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Social stuffs

    Why not?
    Because of anxiety, mainly.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Fixing bugs.

    How's that going?
    Forward at a frantic paste, actually!

    Next

    What's the plan for the month ahead?
  • Implement city rendering into the client.
  • Fix more bugs.
  • Find out what to do next.
