Coffee Induced Games

I recently bought 7 games for £14. They were pre-owned xbox games for the original xbox games. And you knwo what? They play really well and still actually look pretty good. Mechassault is still a good laugh on multiplayer (no live servers anymore though).

And on the train, I’m playing through Zelda Link to the Past for the SNES on my PSP. IT’s emulated and runs really well.

Who says you need to pay out £30 or more for new games, if you’re feeling a bit broke, get some old games, they’re good fun, and above all, remind you that gameplay is more important than graphics.

I’ve finally got round to uploading the platform game source files, check the link on my youtube videos.

After watching some impressive videos on this, I thought I’d download it and give it a try. It claims to be easy to use, and it’s the same engine used in gears of war and unreal tournament. Worth giving it a shot.

I’ve been getting a lot of mails asking when I’m posting more videos.

I’ll be honest, I’ve lost the motivation for making these videos over the last few months. I’ve been getting into new hobbies, such as motorbikes for one. And the idea of sitting inside for hours on end writing code doesn’t appeal as much as it used to. But I am planning to get back into it soon.

I haven’t done a new platform game video for a while because I messed up the coding I was doing for part 5, and didn’t want to have to rewrite everything from part 4 onwards again, but this is something I will have to do soon otherwise it’ll never go anywhere.

As for the 3D videos, I’ve not done much in 3D myself so I’m really a beginner at this, I was thinking of just working through the userguide demonstrating each command but then that’s boring, really you want a game project to follow. So that’s what I’ll do, it might not be a first person shooter though, as that involves too much code to make it worth while. Maybe I’ll write a simple ball in a maze game, I don’t know. But they’ll be something soon, I promise.
