Curse of the Space Mummy ...@Livingston (Hi Bryan!)<br /><br />Curse of the Space Mummy was done using our in-house engine, Wraith. This is the engine we use for console, PC, and some mobile development.<br /><br />Drawrmy was done in html5 (Javascript + Canvas + a few other things), and uses Firebase for some storage and server features.<br /><br />I hope to do a post some time to explore in more detail why we chose these technologies, and how we felt about the experience. At a high level, they were both great, and I'm pretty happy with what we got done.stayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223678351069896277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12441250.post-14992864034206156462012-05-06T01:11:35.608-06:002012-05-06T01:11:35.608-06:00We were so crunched for time we weren't able t...We were so crunched for time we weren't able to do a lot of compatibility testing.<br /><br />The whole team uses chrome, so we didn't run the game in any other browsers until the end of the night.<br /><br />I noticed when I run the game in IE, for some reason I get a white screen the first time, but if I refresh once, it works from then on.<br /><br />And, yeah, CotSM requires DX11. Sorry about that, too. We happen to be in the middle of restructuring in our engine (nice timing for a Game in a Day event!) and DX9 support is temporarily broken... :(stayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223678351069896277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12441250.post-26072456417145571822012-05-06T00:11:29.914-06:002012-05-06T00:11:29.914-06:00What tools were used to make the games and how did...What tools were used to make the games and how did the team feel about them after using them?Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277834452690369531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12441250.post-86094515629758791392012-05-05T22:55:52.858-06:002012-05-05T22:55:52.858-06:00Bah, I didn't win a code lol...
Anyways here ...Bah, I didn't win a code lol...<br /><br />Anyways here is my mini Curse of the Mummy review:<br /><br />The music. It reminded me A LOT of Keflings. I love it.<br /><br />The respawn system. The fact the you can respawn as a bigger ship as the game progressed was really cool. I'd imagine that in a fully developed game the bigger ships would be more powerful.<br /><br />Infinite Lives. Usually twin stick shooters end real quick due to low number of lives. For a pick up and play type game that can be aggravating so being able to play a genre I enjoy casually and worry free was fun.<br /><br />There are a lot of ideas here which I would LOVE to see in a shmup and not just a twin stick shooter. Especially if these ideas were in more of a casual type bullet hell. Those games are so hardcore but shmups are one of my favorite genres even though I credit feed in almost all of them. I can see a game with features like this being kind of casual with a hardcore scoring system for leaderboards and stuff.<br /><br />Anyways, thanks guys that was fun! I'm looking forward to Candy for Keflings!<br />Much love,<br />-Yama<br /><br />Twitter @yamayamayaamaaYamahttp://twitter.com/yamayamayaamaanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12441250.post-72797485449720326762012-05-05T22:16:06.707-06:002012-05-05T22:16:06.707-06:00Drawrmy won't load.
