Game Development Update

A more recent screenshot of OATS. Still looks roughly the same (And still taking sprites from other things at the moment; that'll be top priority soon), but there's a lot of a new functionality: Jumping now work as intended (With Helpful shadow bringing some depth to the actual jump). There's a fully working inventory now with button assignment to ( Read more... )

I am certainly interested in helping you test it. Just let me know if I need to DL anything to be able to work it properly.

Shouldn't need anything at all, actually: Since I'm doing all of this in flash, I should be just able to toss the swf over to people, unless I can figure out how to package it as an exe. This is the first time I've messed with flash so it's all a bit new to me.

What's really cool is that ActionScript 3 and the library I am using (Flashpunk) makes it really easy to get started with decent results. Even if go back to making stuff in other languages and platforms, it's proven to be a really good way to get a proof-of-concept going. And getting something out of your head into something that looks like its working feels so damn good.

If you would like, I could provide some thorough testing.

Seriously, 2.5 years experience professional testing! I can even do a test case document for it with metrics and milestone data.

I'm so tragically unemployed...

This looks nice though, even if the assets are borrowed. My 2 day game project was done entirely with GPL art and sound mangled by yours truly in GIMP and Goldwave unregistered.

That's be awesome, actually. I'm not sure if I'm ready for heavy test case documentation, but at least having your eyes on it would make me feel a little better.

And I love Goldwave. Someday, I will finally register that poor thing.

Whenever you have a build, just send me a link and I will get to it as soon as I can. I can be most quickly hit up via email, my first name, then a . and then my last name at gmail is what I stay logged into (as its what I use for job applications).

If you want I can look over any other documentation or such, highlight potential issues, etc. Go all Professional Game Industry on it.

My desktop actually has a registered copy of Goldwave, it was on GiveAwayOfTheDay.com at some point, so I nabbed it.
