Galcon 3: the third 14 Oct 2023 10:11 AM (last year)

“Dreams will come true. Again.”

“Dreams will come true. Again.”

I’ve not much to say, but the website about Galcon 3 does! Let’s make this happen.

Ahoy there! I’ve released a new game called Galcon BOTS! It’s coding game!

Guard paths 20 Apr 2018 2:55 PM (7 years ago)

Today I added a handful of little things, but the most interesting is the guard paths.

Water now at fullscreen 60 FPS 14 Apr 2018 3:58 PM (7 years ago)

It took a few tricks to get this working, but I’m happy to say I’ve got it running at 60 FPS, fullscreen, and with full level of water now.

Tropical waves 7 Apr 2018 7:06 PM (7 years ago)

I made some tropical beach side waves this weekend.

I also did some more experimenting with other 3D effects, but they didn’t work out.

Improved 3D 30 Mar 2018 7:01 PM (7 years ago)

I did some work improving the “3D” look of the game today.

This effect seems to work well with water, light, and shadows. Much better than my previous efforts.

Particle explosions and sprites 17 Mar 2018 5:36 PM (7 years ago)

I worked on a particle system this week, and put together this explosion. I’m quite happy with how I got the water to reflect it! I also tried out a subtle 3D effect, and decided that it actually did work nicely, so I’m going to try that for a while.

The next day I did a bit more with improving the explosion, and I also added in sprites for the character.

I’m happy with how it’s all coming along!

Light reflections, water refractions 10 Mar 2018 2:48 PM (7 years ago)

I did some more work on the look over the last few weeks. First I added light reflections to the waves.

This week I worked on getting refraction working. This really helped the look a ton!

Lastly I played with some perspective / 3D rendering. While it looks good from a distance, all the details that go into making 3D really work would get bogged down under the light and water effects. So I’m pretty sure I’ll be keeping this game 2D overhead.

Water and light 24 Feb 2018 7:22 PM (7 years ago)

This weekend I got a lot of items done! The core engine is somewhat working, and the most fun bit has been trying to work out the interactions between water and light.
