“When we engage in what we are naturally suited to do, our work takes on the quality of play and it is play that stimulates creativity.” – Linda Naiman
I intended to replace the low level networking layer last week. I intend to do a lot of things that don’t happen (but one day I WILL go to ninja training camp). Like a cute little kitten, I got distracted by other things. I did make it about halfway before we needed to get another build out to testers. Along the way I figured out why our current layer is dropping some packets which felt like a mini-victory. I also assisted Ian in getting the garage (warning: this is an old video but it basically works the same as the new garage) put back together.
This week I will finish getting the new layer into the game and probably get distracted by some dangling string as well.
Last week I spent my time split between tweaking maps, GUI’s and some other game settings while simultaneously starting work on an exciting new trailer for Zero Gear. It is taking a lot more planning than previous trailers, but I can already tell the work is going to pay off and we are going to have something very memorable that should leave an impression on viewers.
This week I am going to continue working on the trailer as well as tackling all the other misc. stuff that pops up.
Last week I resuscitated the garage and completed the MyGUI conversion. I also gave birth to some cute little soccer bots who do their best to get their ball in the right goal!
Next I’ll be polishing up various game modes, fixing bugs, and working on Chute Shoot bots. Stay tuned this week for some actual iPhone related news as well!
