OK, ten hours have past already, but I just woke up. Breakfast at 13:00, no problem. Have kindof an idea for the islands, but not really sure yet where it’s going.<\/p>\n

Also, it looks like I’m going down a very dangerous road, of trying 3D stuff. First time, yay. I’ve been playing a bit with my setup before, going through the Redbook, but never actually applied to a game. We’ll see…<\/p>\n

Of course, since 3D is so hard to make look good (how the hell did they do Gears of Wars out of triangles, I’ll never understand), I’m going for a very minimalistic “retro” style, with flat shaded polys (no textures, except maybe for some UI elements)<\/p>\n

Also I find the title “Islands of Misericord” to have quite a sound to it, although I’m not even sure it means what I want in English, and also I have absolutely no gameplay or background idea as of now.<\/p>\n

Bah, all in good times.<\/p>\n

\"Yay,<\/a>

Yay, greenish heightfield!<\/p><\/div>\n

Also, for the curious, I’m using my own lib ev\u00f6L<\/a>, more or less a SDL wrapper, along with LuaGL, which despite being quite the suck on some points, is pretty cool.<\/p>\n

Also, I’m planning on making the main input device a gamepad (with of course equivalents on the keyboard), because I have one, and it’s cool.<\/p>\n \n
