Lame Entertainment Studios

Week 5.0

Ak — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 07:48:31 +0000

We’ve decided to rearrange our projects a little bit and start with the first in the project: Black Sparrow series. I got a fair amount accomplished today, currently I’m working on finalizing the collision detection system and then I’m gonna move onto the menu and level system. Pete has a bunch of drawing still to do but we sat down tonight and hammered out a pretty awesome looking design for the HUD. Here is a screenshot of the game as it stands right now.

Week 2.5

Peter.M — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 01:52:08 +0000

Its been a long week, we got a little behind with the programing because Ak still doesn’t fully understand it, but that’s OK he’s learning and for this only being halfway through our 2nd week i don’t think we’re doing all to bad.

So, here’s whats going on so far. I’m working on the sprites for one of the playable characters of the game as well as concept art for the bad guys and levels. Ak is working on figuring out c# and the XNA framework. so there’s a lot of drawing on my part and a lot of learning on his part, but at least we’re not making a avatar game.

Now, check out the new review that will be posted tonight, go over to my Blog and check out the lil’Monsters comic I’ve been working on, and some other art work.

Week 2.0

Ak — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 22:05:08 +0000

Unfortunately nothing new to report really, I’ve mostly been reading this week to shore up my knowledge. I’m currently reading C# 4.0 in a nutshell – Forth Edition, once that is complete I’ll be picking up Learning XNA 4.0, I’ve read most of the previous edition but I’d like to read it again.

Pete and I are now on Twitter, if you wanna to see what we are doing and how development is coming along on a daily basis please follow us: Pete and AK.

Quick Update.

Week 1.5

Peter.M — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 02:27:34 +0000

So a week and a half down and we are on just about on schedule, Tommy’s run cycle is done and by the end of this week I should have some more small things left for him to do. Ak has made head way on the development part getting some sprite moving on the screen and some collision detection happening.

We’ve started to talk about a trailer that we’ll begin working on as soon as its all planned out and by the end of the night we should have a new logo up on the site. A review for the game Shoot 1up is being posted tonight as well and if you haven’t tried it yet on the X-box 360 indie arcade then your an ass.

that’s all for now. check back soon.
