Porting To Blender

iv'e been porting this game I wrote for pyweek competetion to a blender game (i.e, using blender's internal game engine). There were a couple of things that took a while for me to get a grap of. 1) Making the trees move when it is being cut, there were a couple of different ways i tried but finally i've put in a lame hack just so it will work. 2) How to make sure each level's objectives are different even while linking it from a different file. 3) Making the smoke look right, making it fade away. 4) A little trouble fixing the camera angle etc. But the current thing seems pretty solid. I've tried to use the feedback I got for the game in the prev competetion as guidance for the dev of this game. Hopefully iv'e fixed most of them.. Well almost.. I still have to design the levels and make sure they are intuitive enough. 1) Heating up only when cutting wood, (stand still and it will cool down.. standard fair.. like in most games) 2) Instead of some weird cooling/h

Here is another theme for the big-head toy.. and yes.. i modified it a little with extra folding positions etc. Just trying to make the toy a little more sturdy.. i've found the head to be very fragile.. so i guess this does help a little.. and i told before.. if you are uncomfortable with the folding.. just glue them :)

If you have been following the open game dev project " Yo! Frankie " which has lead to major improvements in the blender game engine, You will be exited to know that blender has put up a game dev competition . So if you are as exited about blender and it's internal game engine as I am.. go ahead and post your entry before 16th march 2009. Now that i've made the announcement, ever since the game engine got an upgrade, i've been craving to develop a game on it. So i kinda decided to port the " Transporter " game i made for pyweek to blender's game engine. Pretty easy right.. i mean.. ive' got the art, ive' got the logic bricks from blender game engine.. how hard can it be.. so i started working on that and soon i learnt about the above competetion. Without a seconds' hesitation i registered. Since the blender game kit 1 has been released for free, I was able to better organize the data etc. Whenever i got a doubt about how something would/s

Hip Hop Toy

While browsing through some of the paper toy galleries, i came across a really cool toy. It had a hood, the dude had a black face, the hood was yellow in color and was wearing jeans ofcourse. So after i made the grimm reaper, i decided it would be nice to attempt making a toy which resembles the one ive' seen. While working on this, i realized the hands of the Big head toy are kinda lame, so modified them too. Ill' hopefully be able to get the print out and make the toy soon, don't hold your breath for that though... :) ps: Time and again i keep experiencing problems while putting the big head toys together. The trick to get it right is to cut the slits precisely. Happy toy making..

Grimm Reaper

Hope you have seen the new template that i made. It's a little hard to make, easy to cut though :)... but looks pretty amazing. Note that if you find it difficult to cut and fold the paper through the slits, just glue them instead. Any way.. here is a new theme for the toy.

Big Head Paper Toy

Don't you love the look of the above paper toy?? .. well i totally loved it.. and guess what.. I had to go over the design a couple of times before i got it right.... well what are you waiting for go grab the template yourself and make your own unique toys. I will as usual try to post some themes for the toy myself.
