So, the XNA contest is over (go vote), and my game barely got off the ground (so don’t vote for me). As usual, my idea was far too ambitious and even the second time round I wasn’t happy with the class structure I came up with. This is not the end of Kurodust Fighter though, [...]
So, I haven’t managed to get any work done on Kurodust Fighter over the past two weeks, mostly because I haven’t had time but also because I’m not quite sure where to go next.
I think I may end up starting over somewhat, as I need to plan the framework of my game a bit better. [...]
So I finally got a bit more work done on Kurodust Fighter this morning and last night, I implemented what I’m calling ‘Action Events’ into the animation sequences that can trigger particular functions, so my little avatar can now kick the bins around the level.

Have a key that puts you in ‘rock position’ which allows you to do special moves, possibly [...]
So I spent a few hours today working on the character system for the Kurodust Beat ‘Em Up game I mentioned in my last post, and thought I’d post a few screenshots. I got Anna to take a few photos of me doing some moves so I had some sprites to work with, and starting [...]
So, I was thinking in bed last night about my Alien Shmup idea, when I came up with an even better idea that I’ll probably try to work on first. Basically it would be a Double Dragon style beat-em-up, using the guys in my band as characters. I don’t expect the subject matter to have [...]
