Now now start a pause for real

Hi nobody,
Well as I have been saying lastly I want to start a pause in this blog, why? you could have read earlier posts but in any case I will explain again, this blog is taking much more time that people is being attracted to the worl of game development and the game I wanted to showcase. So while I know its still soon and maybe with time lots of posts and all that the people could come, Im quite sure its more efficient to concentrate in making the games Im working on actually and deliver then to the store of choice whenever are ready.

However if you want to follow this blog please do so, I could occasionally update on games and parts of the process Im going through, just asI said it wont be on a daily basis.

As usual here is a cute picture of girls playing games, dont you love arcade? :D:

Author is unknown please tell me the name to credith rightfully

Continuing development

Hi all (in case anyone reads this xd),
Just in case you only watch the cute pictures related to games and anime...

Author unknown please tell me the name to credit properly

Well to start off what I want to talk here is just one fact that many people forget, to continue development, you might be thinking that as I said I will stop posting about the development process that means development is halted, but no, all the opposite, development should never stop, the moment you stop developing or think like "hey its only a little halt" its the moment your game is almost likely to never be finished, of course its not impossible to continue after little halt but its better to always stay in contact with your project. When I see a game I have made like 5 months ago I barely remember some inner facts I coded myself, imagine a year or even more after that.

Then for such reason is here this post, always try to add even if its little by litte.... always anything, any sprite, model, mechanic, anything from time to time even if it seems hard, if you stop your development you are almost surely going over your project.

With all the said of course Im continuing with my games, just the fact that the current game announced in this blog has no awesome screen as of yet, but soon I will update you more on this. The other game Im working on is being kept secret at the moment so you will get an update when its on stores worldwide :D. Finally, there is a project, theme and stuff still to be decided but I have to talk with one or more friends about a collab, never reject a collab, but be sure to work with people you can trust and relly on them and all will be cool =).

Bye!!!

Legal stuff -_-

(Algo en castellano abajo)

Hi all,
It has been a long while xD, well as I said I need to post about this, and please follow this as close as you can. When you start a project with someone, be sure that all parts agree and that there is no doubt about what work will you do and how will you share the income (if there is any money). If you dont do it this way then problem can happen and your work could vanish, working for nothing is not fun, be sure that you trust and know well the person you are working with, if there are changes all will lose and the game maybe will never be made.

I assume the artist is @rinc7600 correct me if Im wrong

great artwork =)

You may be wondering why on earth Im blogging about this fact, if you are starting a game you are more likely to do it alone, but maybe you have a friend and would like to team up, go back to the top and read all that I said before proceeding. It has happened to me that I teamed with a friend but then suddenly after I did some drawings for such mentioned project and even started thinking what the mechanics needed for this..... then my friend said Im out of the project, like that, well that of course is disappointing, I worked for nothing and all my drawings were done for no reason and the game may or may not be done, well as that happened, what we have to do is save our work, so that we can use it on our own projects, and also clarify what work we have done and when for legal issues, this is what Im doing in the following space:

All these drawings are (C) H.D.A. and any reproduction or use of them as base or guide or anything is forbidden, and if such thing happens then I will start legal action against the person/s who may use that material.

I use this post also as a proof that its me and no other person who did these drawings on this date, so you know any later appearance of these drawings or drawings made with these as base is an ilegal drawing and should be removed from whatever the media. Thanks for understanding. Just to clarify it allow me to put something in spanish too, sorry, its just the same I said here dont worry.

CASTELLANO
Todos estos dibujos son (C) H.D.A. y cualquie reproduccion o uso de ellos como base o guia o cualquier otra cosa esta prohibido, y si algo asi sucede entonces tomare acciones legales en contra de la/s persona/s que lo hayan utilizado.

Yo uso este post tambien como prueba de que soy yo y ninguna otra persona quien hizo estos dibujos enb esta fecha, asi que ya se sabe que cualquier aparicion posterior de estos dibujos o dibujos hechos con estos como base es un dibujo ilegal y debe ser eliminado de cualquier medio donde se haya publicado. Gracias por entender

Bye!!!

Start of a pause

Hi all,
After some thinking about this blog I have noticed that while I receive some visits from around the globe they can be either robots or something like that, maybe then nobody is really making a good use of this blog and of course while I write it I delay little bit my work, after all Im trying to showcase little steps but usually I go faster, if you read this please dont try to go faster if you are starting, try as i have said before, step by step, so with this said, I have took my decission, I will put a small pause to the blog, probably until I notice some feedback or the game is finished who know, I know this way I wont be commenting about the little steps i take for the whole game but I think its the best for all of us.

So spect some posts in the incoming days (like in 10 minutes that I have to post something else) but not on a daily basis, please dont hesitate to post anything you like or comment i will be getting tback to this as much as I can and share what is going on with the game.

Good luck with your projects =).

Bye!!!

Future Perfect Plus continues =)

Hi all!!
Well as said I will continue with the development of this shmup and sharing some insight of the process with you anonymous reader over there, however it would be nice to hear your thoughts in comments or messages, anyway as much as we love arcade let me start with a image I received today, artist is unknown again, please if you know him/her let me know to credit the wonderful art:

So with this said, today you might think what Im going to show is not very impressive, but thats false, every little piece of a game is key element, you miss one and even if the game is fully playable then you are done, people could start seeing your game as amateur work, and even if you are the rookie one, you can make it look really like the work of a pro. So lets see this:

So with the previous said, what on earth Im talking about? Im talking about user interfaces, like title screen or help screen, may sound like a dummy stuff and may sound like the thing you can ommit or leave for later, well it depends on how good is your kung-fu but I recommend you set this interfaces at an early stage so that you start getting the feeling of the overal look. Also avoid plain text, try to make it outstand in some way, like I did here, Im not using any type of prefab, so I make all the buttons and stuff, you have to do that too!! you know what they say, you wouldnt steal a bag, you wouldnt steal a car, stealing a graphic is also stealing, so always make your own sprites/buttons/.../graphics in general, this way your game will look absolutelly unique keep it in mind and never give up =).

I have started working on 2 other projects previously mentioned but not posted here yet, because of their nature I may or may not post about them, however I will continue working on this shmup as said, I hope its helpful and I hope to hear from you =).

Bye!!!

PS Since maybe only robots are reading these posts I may consider making a blog pause if stats keep like they are now, so if you would like me to continue posting about this and other games Im making please let me know, also if you are making mages or are starting into this say so!!

Future Perfect Plus!!

Hello everyone!!
I'm very excited to announce that today starts the development of Future Perfect Plus!! :D, you might wonder why its "Plus", well, I thought of a project some time ago, just in that time my experience was not good enough and maybe I thought things in an overcomplicated way, you have to write your game idea on paper, but only use few papers, then start working on it, and stick to your plan as much as possible. So this project being similar to that one which was never fully built, I consider it as a second try, this time for real =).

With this said, what kind of game will it be? this is a good question, you have to think clearly about this, its very hard to create new type of game these days so most of the times you can place the game in one category or compare with an existing one, this time around its going to be shmup, more specifically danmaku type. Danmaku type of games are thos shmup based on having a huge lot of bullets on screen resulting in a kind of labyrinth made of bullets, therefore they are also called bullet-hell. If you want to check some cool games like that try any from Cave:

http://www.cave.co.jp/en/

With all this said here I started making first steps into this awesome universe we want to build and venture through. currently of course being day 1 there are few things to be seen, but there is more than the eyes meet, check out first screenshot =)

I know its not very impressive right now xD

Well what you can see is a ship that I can maneuver with arrow keys and the shadow it drops, also a ground beneath everything and a limit so that the ship is not going off limits, not much as said, but as you can see we can start to feel how the game will play. There are different kind of shmups, I personally like the vertical ones, you get a better view and feeling from them, so you see this will be like that, of course in final game you can play in bigger window, as tall as your screen, but still the side margins will be off game area.

When you start making your game you have to think every little step you take, don't try to rush and get straight to the fun part, even this little step I took here took some time to think and test, trial and error is key for this, so don't hurry, take your time, even if its not impressive you have to set a good root for everything.

I will continue adding more and more blocks to the game until its finished, tomorrow there will be more features so stay tunned for the new ones :D.

Additionally as I said I have other projects in mind, I have some friends who might get involved in them, but we are still setting the facts, when its ready we will start the development and you will get updated on them, so keep an eye for a total different game really soon too =)

Again the artist is unknown, if you know 

him/her let me know to credit preperly

Final note, if you are building your game and have to ask something please dont hesitate, however I wont be able to fix code or errors inside your game, thats why I say you have to be sure about what lines of code you put in your game, so always think twice the steps you take, and good luck!!

Bye!!!

Welcome!!

Welcome everyone!! :D
This blog that starts today will be talking about what title says, we will make some games, more specifically we will cover all the steps, maybe dayly or once every two days at the most, if things go right you will be able to buy the finished games at cheap prize on Steam or the site of choice due the end.

Also of course beng this a blog and Blogger an interactive site, we will listen to your comments and suggestions therefore part of yourself will be present in the finished games =).

We are a group of people who like games and manga/anime so we will make the games with passion, we hope you can feel it the same way ^_^. Just in case anyone wonders why this games are being sold due the end of the develoopment... well the fact is we would like to give away them but people keep asking for money when we ask for fod at the market ^^, so there is not much of a choice for us, its either selling them or stop making them.

Author is unknown but I think it reflects our spirit, we love arcade <3

please if you know the author name let us know to credit him/her

And as a final note, if the mentioned games require any kind of patch or update due to the final store requirements or restrictions, it will be available from this humble blog, for FREE :D, you have not to worry about this fact as long as you keep an eye on us =).

Then with all said tomorrow we will start with the steps of our first project here, we have in mind a couple of them so if they overlap there will be posts for both of them separated so that you dont get lost in the process.

I hope as the games progress not only you find all the insight you might have wondered about game making but also we could become friends too =), hope to see you around

Bye!!!
