The Next Game
It's been such a buzz having people actually playing my game! I've had a lot of positive feedback, which is fantastic, so I'm glad people are enjoying it. I've had a couple of requests for the source code so I'll consider releasing it, though I need to figure out what sort of license I should do that under. I assume it will be some sort of GPL thing, but I'm not quite sure how that all works.
I also want to comment my code a bit more before I release any source code, as it's pretty messy at the moment. (You know, I'm not even sure whether it's a good idea to release it, I'm sure my coding is nowhere near the proper way you should be doing things)
Anyway, I've started on my new game which is going to be an original design so I can hopefully enter it into Microsoft's Dream, Build, Play contest (anyone know when that's meant to be starting? It says January but they've only got a week to make that deadline) It's going to be a 2 player only game specifically designed for Xbox 360 controls (though I'll try to include PC controls as well, and of course you'll be able to play with a wired 360 controller).
No screenshots yet (not much to show), but I should get a chance to do some more work on it this week provided my DS doesn't take up too much of my time, not to mention the Crackdown demo which has nearly finished downloading. Of course, being that my game is full of programmer art, there's never much to look at anyway. If the game is turning out fun I may have to find somebody to partner with so I can get some decent art in there, but for now I'll just be working on getting it all together and working.
