wedgeeguy Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Hello ... I would like to announce a new game that I created called "Izzy the Busy Squirrel". It is a simple puzzle-strategy-memory game. All of the models and animations were created with Animation:Master and then exported with the AMXtex plug-in exporter created by Chris Roy (plus some other converters as well) ... If anyone is interested, I do have a demo version of the game you can download from my website as well as a video tutorial of how to play. Please visit ---> http://www.pencilwedgees.com and select the "GAME" link to find out more. Please note that if you are running Vista or 7 that you MAY need to also install DirectX 9.0c ... I do have some trouble shooting tips as well listed on my website. If anyone has any questions or problems with anything, I would be happy to try and help ... Big thanks to Animation:Master and Chris Roy for at least making one aspect of creating this a little bit easier ... Thank you, Bruce Monahan Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 8, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted October 8, 2012 Hey, that looks real good. I found I did have to install directx9 as you predicted. I'm surprised that stuff isn't more compatible. But the game looks good! Quote
John Bigboote Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Looks great! Can it play on a phone? Quote
Admin Rodney Posted October 8, 2012 Admin Posted October 8, 2012 That was fun... BUT DIFFICULT! (My family made me turn off the sound) hehe. Congratulations on the game! Quote
wedgeeguy Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 I really appreciate everyone who has taken a look so far .... @Robert ... Yeah I was afraid that there were some people who were going to have to jump through a few more loops to get it to run on their systems. With DirectX 10 and 11 no longer being backwards compatible, Microsoft created a few problems for the rest of us. I'm still looking for a nice solution that doesn't impose that restriction ... Thanks Robert! @Matt ... Thanks Matt! Sorry but it is just for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 (with some restrictions regarding DirectX 9.0). As I mentioned above, I'm still looking for a programming language that provides good 3d support but allows it to be installed on multiple devices. Perhaps Unity or Shiva3D might be possible solutions ... but to answer your question ... No, not yet. @Rodney ... Thanks for taking a look! I guess your family isn't connoisseurs of banjo music? (then again, who is?) ... Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 9, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted October 9, 2012 I'm surprised the game engine hasn't been updated to accommodate the more recent Direct X. Quote
wedgeeguy Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 I'm surprised the game engine hasn't been updated to accommodate the more recent Direct X. Hi Robert ... I use a program called PureBasic to create the game. You can specify OGRE(OpenGL) as the rendering engine but it still has some dependencies on DirectX as well. They have been improving the 3d gaming side of things so perhaps it's just a matter of time before it catches up. It really is a great language to use and you can create programs that run on Windows,OS, and Linux all in one package. I guess things still get a bit messy when trying to get 3d to work on all of those platforms as well. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 10, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted October 10, 2012 I'm impressed with your result! I wish i knew more about the workflow for putting all that together. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 27, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted October 27, 2012 I finally got to the end of a game. Very amusing! Quote
